I didn't see an intro forum so I hope you guys don't mind and in case some of you notice this is the same intro I posted on 6speedonline.

Hello, I'm Don and I'm from Siloam Springs Arkansas. Over the summer I recently acquired a '78 911 SC Targa from a family member. My knowledge on these cars is very minimal. In fact I know nothing about the car and am debating on whether or not I should keep it. So I figured I would at least join a new forum and see what I can learn. With as little as I have in the car I figured why not. I've got nothing to loose.

Hello?

OK bro..............Welcome

Quarterracer

Thanks. I was beginning to thing that I had done something wrong.

Welcome. Go to the "Air/Oil Cooled" category and check out the 911 sub-category--a wealth of information there--ask a question, someone can answer it. Use the Search Function for a particular topic and it will pull up previous posts about that subject. Go to the Tech section and you will see a category for SC's. Happy browsing!

Quarterracer

Thanks. I really appreciate it.

So far I'm definitely glad I registered here. This car isn't quite what I'm used to and I have to keep reminding myself of that but the few times I've driven it, it has definitely put a smile on my face. I hope to learn a lot more about these cars in the near future.

Yea your best bet is to post over in the 911 area. Not many pass through these general forums. I just don't want to go to bed yet and am bored out of my mind.

Welcome to the addiction.

Quarterracer, you've done well and passed the first Rennlist test -- you posted pictures.

You may want to join the local PCA and start autocrossing the car. Even if AX is not your preference, learning car control in a safe environment will pay off at some point in the future.

Christmas Day found us on I-85, north of Atlanta. We are in the beater 1/4 ton pick up and it is over-loaded with fire wood, a chipper/mulcher, a weeks worth of clothes and all our Christmas gifts. Traveling in the carpool lane, another car crossed the solid white line and cut us off. I braked, the rear end started to come around and the concrete wall was getting close. I straightened the truck out and I'm certain w/o my AX and DE experience, it would have ended up much worse.

Well, I've decided that I'm going to sell my car. I've given it a lot of thought and this is the best thing for me to do right now. I just listed it on ebay and I think that I've got it priced to sell.

The Porsche community is a close knit family. The Rennlist community is even closer.

Good luck on the sale. If it doesn't sell, give the PCA a year and do some DEs and AXs.

Hopefully you will be happy it did NOT sell.

Quarterracer

Thanks. If it doesn't sell hopefully I'll start having a few good months and work and maybe I can pull my head back out above water. I really don't mind having it around at all and I know the car has a bunch of potential.

BTW, what's DEs? I figured AXs is for Auto Cross.

DE stands for Driver Education. Porsche Club regions across the country rent nearby racetracks and provide instructors to help you learn to drive your car in a safe manner at speed. Other groups also provide high performance "track days" to learn about and improve your car control skills.

Quarterracer

Well, the car is giving me a bit of trouble with second gear so I've decided to go ahead and sell it since I really can't afford to maintain it. I've purchased something else to play with in place of this so I need to sell it. I have it on ebay if anyone is interested. Reserve is 8,000. Buy it now is 8,500 but if anyone here wants it now at 8,000 just pm or email me and tell me you saw it here.
