Here is a crappy pic of the full speedo.....

And....

[QUOTE=RK951]17" cups from wheel enhancement, you mean like these?

Yep...but with the painted crests. (I think the Cup wheels look great on these cars...probably the best factory/readily available/affordable wheels.)

RK951

Its an old picture, I have painted crests

Rick you need to update the pic and your avatar pal, it's to old.

Stephen, I noticed your car is listed as a 914 on CL...

You know what kind of flaming we dish out somebody cant id their car correctly.

Nice car, and not to be harsh but the realities of the market mean you will need to significantly lower your price back down to reality. Or really really really hope and pray that there just happens to be some guy out there that just has to have a low miles but not stock 944T. For you see there is a real contradiction here...On the one hand the car has very low miles, on the other it's been modified just like every other 944t out in the mkt. And the 944T just is not a collector type car...that's just the reality sorry

Rob,
You're absolutely correct! I have a couple of minor issues to work on this weekend and then I hope to take some updated shots including ones of my custom EBC install as promised

Stephen,
It's just a thought but you might consider selling those wheels and putting back phone dials. I think the speakers on the rear deck are pretty minor but as it does detract from the pristine condition of the rest of the car, its something to also consider. The potential person who might want this type of car will likely want it completely stock. For those who haven't seen this car, it really really is like a factory new car. I saw it at the Porsche Show last fall and it was flawless.

#@%%$#@$!#@!!! Thanks for the heads-up. For this I paid good money!! I'll get it corrected right away.

Hey, if we are making offers, trade me for a set of CHERRY phones!

Stephen Porter

Thanks for the offer, but if I put those on, I'd be in even *more* trouble as they aren't the "correct" wheels either.

Just ran across this ad on CL:

http://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/car/283912638.html

I was talking to a guy at a wheel shop in the L.A. that speciallized mostly in BMW wheels. He said these BBS RS wheels have some following in the Japanese custom market....

If this guy can get anything close to $1,000 for his, then swapping for phone dials and selling mine on eBay would make sense except for the hassle.

I've got someone driving up from San Diego to look at the car on Monday, so it all may be moot after then. (Knock on wood.)

Stephen, I think your car is a drop dead beauty - except for the wheels, I just don't think they flow with the car, no offense. Put a set of used design 90 or replica cups on it and she'll be gone.


which would you buy? my car as purchased from PO

Those are the Flat dish wheels from a 928:



The correct wheels are the Phone dials:



While the Design 90 appeared on the some turbos and S2s:



And the Club Sport appeared on the '89 turbos:

SOLD! Onward and upward.

That's great to hear! You had a great looking car, and honestly, I was not too worried about your selling the car to someone despite the aftermarket stuff (particularly those hideous wheels -- the car's sold now I can say that right?).

As a side business I buy crapped-out old motorcycles and fix 'em up and resell them; helps get me thru college. I've never had trouble selling a single one. All it takes is one buyer.
