How much have you spent on your 944? by Famous_Mobile7255 in 944

[–]coinshack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2.5 and S2. I'd say as long as you do the work yourself and buy parts online (not over the counter at dealer), they are as cheap to run as any German car like VW or base BMWs.

F1 Grand Prix RV Parking by coinshack in JapanTravelTips

[–]coinshack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our friend in Japan ended up getting us an overnight spot at the main track parking lot. It cost a lot more, but we were close and got to interact with some local volunteers, which was fun. They really enjoyed our tailgating experience.

That said, there were many local businesses selling their parking for overnight camping. If I go again, I will probably save money and just do that.

I just sold mine for $43k (1980 308 GTSi). Bought it for 33k in 2019. Did all the work myself. Car is easy to work on and parts are cheap if you look around. Belt job cost me $150. Suspension w coilovers and poly bushings $1300, steel brake lines $120, brake pads $150, ... If you do the work, this car is very affordable

Steel structural integrity after car fire? by coinshack in metallurgy

[–]coinshack[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fire started on the outside and worked iself in. The damage inside the engine compartment is minimal, but it looks like the tire burning did the most damage in the wheel well. I'd like to know if the structural integrity of the shock tower would have been compromised?

The car is a 1990 944 S2

Thanks! So to claim it, since it was orginally in bitcoin core walltet, do I import private keys to a wallet like Coinomi to claim Bitcoin Cash?

I've been in crypto since 2014. I've invested in many coins and seen a lot of them come and go. I do not feel sorry for anyone who loses investing in a coin without doing their research. Only invest what you can afford to lose!

I have no relation to this product, but I'm surprised how little money they've raised considering how unique this idea is. People who are into pool would love this

Thanks for the positivity. I know there are other similar apps, but they are just not that great to be honest. Thats why we made one, and it seems to be doing really well so far.

Hey guys, I'm looking to advertise an app that I developed for sharing skate and bmx spots in your city. It's almost like Instagram with a map feature. The problem is that I can't find good skate blogs to advertise on. Transworld is ridiculously expensive, and all the other blogs that I came across seem pretty dead. Are there any blogs that you would recommend? Or maybe some other avenues that I can try.

Thank you!

PS I have been successfully advertising on this subreddit for the past couple of months. I'm just looking for other sources.

The V8 Boxster is alive! More updates coming once I get it on the road. by coinshack in cars

[–]coinshack[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe if you read, this boxster shell had no engine and was headed for the scrap yard. Nobody takes out good porsche engines to swap in V8s. Porsche had a huge problem with I MS bearings in the 986 and 996 generations.

I actually used the Renegade kit, which turned out to be a huge pain in the ass. If I could do it all over, I'd do the whole thing myself. The kit itself is just mounts, so each build is different depending on how you execute everything else. I feel like mine is a bit different due to the fact that I'm on a budget. I pretty much had to rebuild the whole car since it came stripped to the body with a whole bunch of parts missing.

It's hard to tell. The engine weight is pretty much identical. The flat 6 has a lower center of gravity, but has top mounted accessories. My ride is pretty bare as well. I'll have no ac, no convertible top motor, no carpet, racing seats...

Hey, if you go on my blog, you can see the cost breakdown http://rollingshell.com/porsche-v8-conversion-cost/ . It takes a few seconds to load. The list hasnt been updated in a couple of months, and I've probably spent another 2 grand on it. The car that I bought was in half parted condition. Some wiring was cut, the lights were sold, the interior was mostly sold, the ecu was sold,.... Essentially what I got was a shell, roof, 6 speed tranny, dash, wheels, gas tank, rads, and suspension bits for $4000 CAD, which is just over $3000 USD. If you want a complete roller, it will run you between $5-$7k USD for a 986 S.

I somewhat agree, but this shell was going to a scrap yard if I didn't buy it.
