Yes, too many options for tackling the itch! All research on tipo to manual conversion suggests 993 6 speed, but almost everyone recommends against it.

I know Steve has done one.

Matt - you are back, we were talking about you yesterday wondering where you had gone??

kiwi 911

Just try and buy Dave's car off him. Someone needs to show him an early 911 to move onto..........

Looking closer at this car yesterday, I think it's a 79 SC with 3.2 S/S on PMO's, so circa 250hp??

paul. you cant buy a 6speed box and have it refurbished for under 10k. the engineering in a conversion would run unto many 100s hours first time around i would suggest.

sean is doing the smart thing looking at very fine competition machines in usa that can be road registered in NZ. The value is just crazy. for 60-70k NZD landed on road you can simply get a world class competition aircooled 964/993. Just go to Rennlist classifieds and check out some of the car that have sold over the last 6 months.

Only reason to build locally would be to enjoy the project and gestation. It might not make any sense financially but lifes not all about money. Our P car passions should be the least sensible of our spending. This is a hobby and its supposed to be fun.

May just be the way it photographs but it looked a touch rough. Ding on the back bumper for sure and I've seen cleaner engine bays - all cosmetic I know! Non varioram car and no idea of overall condition - suspension/engine etc. Maybe Jamie knows this car from down his way? Its not too badly priced depending on what work is needed.

I see Chris has been outbid now.

I talked to Steve C4 to C2 conversion a better way to go that C2 tip to manual

Macca

John. I found those seats for you. Recaros new racing bucket.You sit low and give Matt a run for his money!

peterC2S

And what does he reckon that would run to?

ChrisB_NZ

I didn't ask, but sounds doable. C4 also already has brakes sorted.

John McM

When I was donkey deep in my rebuild I think it was going to be $8,000, which included a credit for my C4 bits.

John McM

I think it's a matter of swapping the gear box for the C2 unit, then removing the extra bits.

BTW. I was given a fixed price offer of $23,750 for a silver C2 tip about 6 months ago. This would end up around the same price.

I like Sean's approach. The track makes LHD workable.

Maxem

Yep, Everything is for sale. Keep in touch!

Are any of them RHD, or all US cars?
