Just popped in for some cis info, and all the old nuts are still here!
Greetings one and all. I miss spent my 'youth' here and somehow ended up with a bunch of 928s. Thanks for that.
Really nice to see so many of the old hands still trying to make these fabulous cars go farther and faster. Spoke to 928 International for the first time couple days ago in almost 4 years, still the same pro's we've always loved.
You nutcases bolting on all these atmosphere enhancing contraptions... good job.
May the BWAAAAHHH be with you all.
Mike

Randy, Dave, el mucho fasto Speedtoys... bite me. lolz
It's a persistent pull that brings us all back to this place. These cars. Geez, they are amazing.
I've been DD'ing a white 80 5spd from Santa Cruz to Salinas for a couple years now. It's mostly brown since we cruise through major ag fields to and from. It's an animal. So damn quick. Mondo rubber and GTS brakes... it stops pretty well, eats most of the high end stuff heading to Laguna. Or so I've heard.
Have a 79 red 5spd that arrived on a transport along with several boxes. Couple years ago. PO had taken the intake apart and rubber, etc fell apart in his hands. Ebay, 1k. Put it all back together, several fresh cis bits, tbelt/pump, cat, borla-catback, etc; won't rev past 3k. Sat and sat, finally took it to local Porsche shop. Had a hip done and ran out of steam, what can I say? We're a couple days away from being reunited. I'm giddy...
White guy needs a cat, but he sounds so damn good with headers, bypass, stock tail pipe, well... you know.
Good to hear from you rabble-rousers.

PS Black guy, 84 928S Auto, gave me more than 500k miles, most of them between DC and Detroit at very high speed, donated to Breast Cancer. 550 miles door-to-door, 7 hours, no troubles. Beast.
Apart from the fact Jim Bailey had to drop ship me a few parts in Detroit... it was a perfect experience.
