Haha ya, good times!

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.

I bet insurance is affordable too...

[alexw]

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.

[alexw]

wasnt m3 said:

Lol exactly. It's not just the car $$ it's the insurance, and the envy of everyone else who's going to park right on top of you and key your car...

If I'm parinoid about my M3, I can only imagine a car worth several times more.

[Ryan...]

Yeah, insurance........ I dont even wanna guess how much that'd be...

I'd be very selective of where it was parked, no Walmarts for me!

It is fun to daydream about it though, when you think of it, $50-60k really isn't all that much, people drop that on newer //M cars all the time. Or higher end Mercs/Range Rovers, etc..

[rampelsauce]

The 997 is sweet, but when talking about Porsche there's only one option.http://static.cargurus.com/images/site/2009/01/09/13/05/1971_porsche_914-pic-32593.jpeg
