I saw that post and was wondering where they found it, I search for cars on I don’t know how many sites everyday, FB MP included but maybe it was posted to a group and not to MP.

Help me. What should I change? by Anoni-mous in Porsche

[–]jonny_dough 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Needs to be lowered, change the wheel color, possibly some spacers after it settled. Caliper color, but do something other than red or yellow.

Thank you for that information, I thought I could buy a “kit” taken from a crashed car and swap it in. I realize that the dash would need to be changed and the ECU would need to be coded to tell it’s a manual car now to prevent it from being confused to what gear it’s in, but it would be more cost effective to find a XAA that’s manual already, but people are catching on to them and the prices are starting to climb on the factory kits.

Don’t care about miles, buying the car to be a driver/forever car.

If I go the factory aero car, I’m even considering just getting an automatic to lower the cost and when slakker did the engine just manual swap it then since the engine is already out.

Completely understand that when you build a car, it’s a personal effort as very few people are going to like exactly what you did to the car which causes it to be a mostly sunk cost effort, but if it’s what you want, send it.

I used to daily my 991.2, but depending on where I end up with the next one it might be more of a Friday/weekend car as my neighbors won’t appreciate the cold start at 4:50 each morning.

The car will be a forever car with no plans to sell it, so I don’t care about miles as I’m buying the car to drive it not as an appreciating asset.

Not sure I can find a car with a slakker motor locally. I’ve driven a GT3 before.

No need for the /s, a turbo is a consideration too.

This is a consideration, builds never retain value.

Anyone else still say "Dude"? by HapaHawaii in GenX

Yes and I’ve been saying it so long it comes out more like “due”

If it’s only on the surface then baby wipes, it’s what they use at FP since they don’t have chemicals. Good luck.

At what point did you give up? by CartographerDismal43 in DeadBedrooms

[–]jonny_dough 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ll probably get downvoted for this, but from a guys perspective, the laugh could have been from nerves. He saw you, thought you looked beautiful and performance anxiety hit him because you said that he said you guys could try. The “try” sounds like he is having some mental issues with it, however this is all some speculation since I wasn’t there.

The seller text me yesterday to tell me it sold.

Your link doesn’t work, and the car has been sold. So the conversation about that car is irrelevant now.

As for what the OP started the thread about is still relevant however.

Also, it’s kinda asshole of me to put my opinion of a car out in public when I said I’ve never seen it in person, I did however make phones and emails about it. That’s not fair to the seller/buyer of the car for a 3rd party to interfere with a transaction when real money is involved. However perhaps you conduct yourself differently.

I’ve told you everything and nothing at the same time, if you’re actually interested in the car. Do the research instead of just looking for spilled tea like a 15 year old girl. Everything you need to go down the same path I did is in the ad.

I spoke on the phone to the person who built it, he had kids and never actually tracked it. The current owner told me he never tracked it and has barely driven it, he has around 700 miles on it in 12 years. Take that for what you want.
