how its paying thousands of dollars for a 14sec 80s shit box a good deal
because you cant get that package anywhere else for the price. most of us here payed thousands for a 16-17 second 90s shitbox that cant handle for shit, and cost alot more to get the same power, without the torque or top end mph or RWD.
i suppose a old supra turbo is about the same, but those are ugly as fuck, imo



yea if you forget all domestic cars

Gas mileage aside, how much would you have to pay for perfect working order, freshly painted 60's mustang or Camaro?
 
(And don't tell me you could one from the 90s or 80s for cheap, because they are no where near as pretty)

4800 starting to like like a better deal yet?  Also porsche = baller status, even if its old.

not going to dignify this with a response.

Stealth, I really don't care for the crappy first gen Camaros, but that '72 is fucking nice for $16K buy it now.  Click on the pics and look at the interior, that thing is fucking tits.

well that didn't take long... 
Tried to get awesome last night.  got too awesome, spun it around into a curb.   Slid sideways into the curb facing the wrong direction on the road at about 5-15 mph...  Managed to drive it most of the way home before the differential stopped working, roomates helped push it up into the driveway.  go drink some beers, come back to examine the damage only to find it's rolled back into the street and the cops rolled up.  talk my way out of that one, get it back in the driveway, plus some bricks.  Find out not only is the diff blown, the brake rotor is SHATTERED, and it bent the trailing arm mounting point up.

pics later, maybe, anyone got a 944 trans on the cheap?

You should change your name to nick hogan with your mad tight drifting skills. Remember just never let off the gas and it will straighten itself up everytime :noel:

Trailing arm mount fucked?

Not good. Might as well replace the whole torsen tube with the arms. It will never ride correctly.

Just buy my car so I can build something with a turbo v8. :yes:

The tube itself is interchangable from all 944, but the torsen bars and trailing arms, and all associated parts are not. M030 option and ABS are the big differences.

Poke around rennlist or pelican parts forums, always somebody parting one.

Like I said, ill give you a hell of a deal on mine.

Turns out the drivers rear axle is definitely busted.  This is good news though because it means the differential might be ok.  Also don't think I mentioned it before, but the body made it out almost entirely unscathed, only thing got cracked was the lip on the front fascia, but I can probably fiberglass that back up.

also, had to make a rhmt dolly to push the car around the driveway.  2x4s plus a shitty furniture dolly worked pretty well.

There's about ten different versions of everything in the rear susp. Make sure you get the right parts.

BTW every day I've driven it so far I have atleast one person try and race me lol.  It gets noticed.

Lol, same goes for my civic with the cutout open. But at least I can win a few races. :P



Tub the rear, ford 9", three-link, turbo LS2. Win. Speaking of old Camaros, I found a complete drop-in rear coil-over/torque arm suspension. Watts link instead of panhard bar, bolts in place of the old leaf springs. One day I'll be buying this for mine:
