Ka-Chow! Ka-Chow!  Also, a broken Ninja 250 and a Chevy Malibu.

944 posted:If a porsche isn't leaking something, it just means its empty. Yeah, people expect these cars to be quick. They are not. My wife hassled me for a while after she handily beat my '87 924S in her '01 Malibu. But god drat everything else is perfect. There are definitely days I wish I hadn't gone from that to the 996. Most often these days coincide with the payments, but that's neither here nor there.

944 posted:Good thing there's a fix for that. One which I intend to apply: Just imagine me giving you a high five right now. I've heard about a lot of people doing that swap but I never really looked into it and I'm wondering: what do people say it does to the handling?

I think there are a couple of different kits, here's one http://www.renegadehybrids.com/ that'll run you $2100. As awesome as it is, the sound of an LS1 is just so awkward to hear coming out of a 944. I don't know what it is but it just doesn't sound "right".

So I bought a thing! It's an '82 911 SC, and it already has a special place in my heart (the part that's 8 years old).

Seat Safety Switch posted:Good buy! That's exactly what I want. Well the tires are 13 years old, so that comes first, but aside from that nothing. It's kind of a peach. When the clutch eventually goes I'll rebuild the transmission--the synchros are worn but no difficulties shifting. Okay okay okay, the paint is rough in places, but I think a good polish may restore it some, and some chips and minor scrapes don't bother me too much.

I've goofed around a little but those tires really need replacing before I get too crazy.

G-Mach posted:I've been looking at 80s 911s and it looks like the prices for the non-turbo aren't to bad. I'd love to pick up a Carrera. MrChips posted:Are you sure about this? Your car has the venerable 915 transaxle, which has never been a smooth, slick shifting box by any measure. Certainly not like the 87+ G50 cars, that's for sure.

Here's my silly old 911 pretending it's still a track car.

Had a few goodies, though. Full exhaust, intercooler, fuel pump.
|
Oh man I don't want to know how much those units will cost. Edit: I get the feeling a broken headlight is going to total out those cars ten years down the road.

Just-In-Timeberlake posted:I did something stupid Hey don't worry! I'm at 35,000 miles on my 2017 Giulia RWD Ti Sport and it has been very robust. Only one "breakdown" so far (it still got home but I had to pull and replace a fuse) and that was only a starter relay for the stop/start. A bunch of software updates, sure, but Alfa decided to let you be cool and upload them yourself if you want. Also good job getting the performance pack, you did the right thing. Someone asked about traction control: No, the non Quadrafoglio models still don't have a good way to do it without also disabling ABS. Some tuners are trying to set it up but it does weird things with the drive mode selector. That's a bummer but they're getting closer I think, and if you're going to be a hoon it's not the end of the world to drop the ABS for a while. I'm going to wait on the warranty period to expire then start playing a little bit with tunes. Going up to maybe 280whp doesn't cost much and shouldn't be too hard on the engine.
