Ryan... Posted March 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) Tj you better to kidding.......The s50 was sold to a guy in GB that swapped it into am e34.. I was gonna turbo the Delphin at the time..And in other news; looking at a clean '76 2002 on Monday morning, if I buy it it's gonna get the m42 and 5 speed out of the rolled 318is. Stripped out interior, only front carpet, radio, 2 speakers, 2 sparcos, no AC, IE stage 2 springs and f/r sway bars, all new bushings, and a curb weight of just under 2000lbs With a COP kit, intake, free flowing exhaust + chip I'd be hitting roughly 130whp, enough fr some shenanigans. Gonna need fender flares too, cause me wants some 16x8 wheels, and some 225/45/16 bfg kdw 2 tires. Edited March 10, 2012 by Ryan... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 It only has that interior left or those are your plans? Stripping interior is ridiculous unless the car is track only and you're trying to get that extra tenth of a second on the next lap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan... Posted March 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Its already stripped down. I might toss in some rear seats if I can find them super cheap/relatively clean. I was thinking of just blocking off the gap between the "back seat" and trunk area with a piece of thin metal or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunMetalGrey Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I hate it when you have to sell me your transmission because mine is going to the shitter. Such a sad day. I should be able to go pull the motor ect for you soon. What do you want done with the motor? I may offer to store it for you. In a nice enviroment. Unless you wanted it in your huge massive enormous garage that should really be turned into a work space . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan... Posted March 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 I'm officially obsessed with the 997 gt3 rs... Some guy drove his to the mall I work at, I spent 35 minutes just drooling over it. Orange with black accents = teh secks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampelsauce Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 A guy used to come into the gas station I worked at with a silver GT3. It made my pants happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan... Posted March 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 They're just insanely sexy.. Out of boredom I've been doing a lot of research on them, and this is the conclusion I've come to: The Porsche Carbon Ceramic Brakes, when used with the proper pads (street vs track), would last a street car well over 100k miles if you change your pads before they get below 30%. The replacement parts such as clutch, shocks, bushings, etc.. really aren't THAT bad compared to most supercars ($960-1200 for the clutch).. It can get up to 23mpg hwy, the same as my WRX. The GT3/GT2/997 motors are not plagued by the same engine issues the 996 had, making it a very reliable motor. Its said they're more reliable than the e46 M3! The NA 3.6 motor pushes out 415hp It has a 305/30/19 tire in the rear = insanity. Long story short; in 3-4 years, when the price drops into the $55-60k range for one, I'll be talking to banks and taking out a loan on an orange/black GT3 RS. I'll live in a 2 bedroom house, with a 3 car garage, preferably in a town near some epic roads to play on every single day. /dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexw Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 I used to live next to a high end car dealer in Germany. I passed a orange/black 996 GT3 everyday for months (until it sold). I hated it. They're so sexy. I'd daily drive one lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
