Default 911&Porsche World 968 Project Car

In the new issue they mention that next month they will start their new project car, a 968 Sport. It'll be interesting to see what mods they will plan, since they're starting off with a great (and unavailable in the US) platform.

i don't mean to change the subject, but doesnt Rimas own a Sport? Was it modified to make it street-legal here in the US (like Joska's CS)?

I am also curious to see what the magazine writers have in store!

Damian, I have a question for you, i'll PM.

edit. box is full. Ill try again later

Chris, Rimas put the name on there on his own-he's done some nice mods to his car and wanted the name to reflect that. The UK Sport was a Club Sport that had creature comforts put back in (electric windows, AC, etc).

Rimas has the best 968 suspension I've ever seen.

Speaking of 911 and Porsche world does anyone have an unwanted copy of the December mag or know where I can get one?

Ken, the BN by Freehold mall doesn't stock it anymore? I thought they usually dont get the new one by the middle of the month. I'm going there today, I'll check it out. I'll also look at the BN by my school.. they're always 2 months behind ! I'll keep you updated

Ken, did you try calling them and seeing if they'd mail it to you? If you're going to backorder it you'll get charged for shipping anyway. It's probably on the shelf there now, all they'd have to do would be put it in an envelope.

Ken, I'm quite close to there as you know. If the weather dries out we could meet for coffee or a short ride.
