I've been toying with a 2002 as well, let us know!

[GunMetalGrey]

Sell me your transmission!

[Ryan...]

Its close to Madison here, looking at it Monday and I'll most likely put a deposit on it to hold it.

Sorry Benny, if I get the 2002, I need das transmission!

[GunMetalGrey]

Sad face.

[wasnt m3]

Hey Ryan, remember this??

[Ryan...]

Haha ya, good times!

[Ryan...]

Not getting the 2002

LOT more work than I was expecting, crap load of custom shit needed, and tools necessary that I dont have..

[GunMetalGrey]

So now you sell me the transmission.

So sad

[Ryan...]

Si, it can be sold nao

[GunMetalGrey]

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 .

I'm gonna be cleaning out the shed soon, was going to so I could hold the 2002... It can be tossed in the shed until I sell it.

I already got my eyes on another project though, this one has a couple more cylinders lol

[GunMetalGrey]

Your crazy, what is it this time

Call me up when you want to clean out the shed, would love to lend a hand.

540iT... needs a 6 speed, some lowz, moa powa.... Its a wildcard, no idea if I can even afford the car right now, but the price is definitely right..

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

[rampelsauce]

A guy used to come into the gas station I worked at with a silver GT3. It made my pants happy.

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.
