Hell no. Why would I paint it "Arrest Me Red." Its probably going to be original black or if I can convince my dad to let me paint in a metallic silver.

J.Red yeah the body is really nice has some little dings scattered around it but Ill just sand them down to bare metal and bondo them.

Posted by: .ecyrB Jun 14 2010, 04:12 AM

Because it's cool in red.


Posted by: Andrew Jun 14 2010, 05:02 AM

Hate white cars. Really depends on what it is though. Just gonna do it black so its easier to paint. wont have to worry as much with the door jambs and everything cause they are already black. I might stick some metallic in it but that makes it harder to fix scratches.

Posted by: .ecyrB Jun 15 2010, 06:23 AM

Well whatever you do, don't act like the asshat who drives one of those to my school. He hit a kid on a bike because they were both skipping out of class and not paying attention... Somehow he got away with it and the kid on the bike got suspended. huh.gif

Cause any porsche wheels fit on any model porsche.

Posted by: .ecyrB Jun 22 2010, 04:44 PM

He never said that... He just said it had rims from a newer model; never that any Porsche could have rims from any model... It's not like he told you to buy Cayenne rims or anything.

I just thought! You should make a replica of your car with the 944 turbo in Forza 3. Make it look all primered with sanded spots, find wheels close to yours, etc, etc.

Then we can have a replica photoshoot of our cars!

Posted by: .ecyrB Jul 7 2010, 05:28 PM

And I can make the SVT Focus look as sedan-ful as possible? ;D

Also, I made you a cake for inspiration.

NEW s**tTY PICS!
and to all of you who wanted me to paint it red, that is about as red as its gonna get!








Super cool night vision pic.


Posted by: .ecyrB Jul 15 2010, 09:07 PM

Cool. But I see you took out the left headlight of the red one, and din't install it on the black one. WHY RON WHY?

Posted by: Mr.Acura-te Jul 16 2010, 02:12 PM

To get the fender off the car.

They run a line of butyl (basically AB weld) and put the fender on and bolt it down and then they cover it about an 1/8th inch thick with undercoating so its almost like they welded it to the chassis.

Posted by: Mr.Acura-te Aug 13 2010, 05:06 AM

1st coat of paint





2nd Coat

This is the air filter on the air system for the HVLP gun before you lay down all the paint for one coat.

Posted by: Mr.Acura-te Oct 23 2010, 02:06 AM

Porsche is gonna stay mainly stock and then be sold.

Posted by: Mitch. Oct 23 2010, 05:52 AM

most of those are turbos... ron's is a plain one. nicely restored though smile2.gif so i'm not sure how much he can get for it.

why you sellin it? gonna get a turbo? or lookin for somethin else untill you can get the turbo?

Posted by: DLuZive Oct 24 2010, 07:17 AM

I think he said he wants a turbo one, but thats just me. :/

@Alex, where?

Posted by: Mr.Acura-te Oct 27 2010, 03:59 AM

Gonna buy a tarbo. Should get between 6-7 grand. Im gonna try to sell it for $7500.

Posted by: Helmasaur King Oct 27 2010, 04:03 AM

i'll buy it for 80

Posted by: DLuZive Oct 27 2010, 06:59 AM

I buy for all the importing costs. Naahh, f**k that s**t.

Posted by: J.red Oct 27 2010, 11:28 AM

Why not just turbo this one if you're going for a 944 turbo?
You've already done all that other work to it.
Just saying.

Posted by: Mkid Oct 27 2010, 05:08 PM

I'm going to try to answer for him even tho I'm not 100% sure. but I'm pretty sure he mentioned to me that all the running gear is almost entirely different. Its just the same body and frame really.

Posted by: Mr.Acura-te Oct 27 2010, 08:07 PM

Turbo motor is bigger and has upgraded internals and suspension. Different body style. and the dash is actually pretty.

Basically the non turbo 944 is designed to perform at peak performance without a turbo. and vice versa with the 944T.


Posted by: J.red Oct 27 2010, 10:48 PM

Makes sense. I was just asking because It's kind of what I would be more likely to do. Once I start a project car, I just continue to build on it. But if you've got another car that's a better platform for a turbo, that makes sense.

Posted by: DLuZive Oct 28 2010, 07:52 AM

I might buy a 323 Astina, the earlier model, and turbo it, they sound like sex! I saw one race, Great turbo, and omg, when it came past, I loved it, one of the best sounding there.

Remember Martyboy? Well he had this photoshoot with an Aston DBS, but the last minute of the movie thing has something interesting which might be to your likings :U

Posted by: Mr.Acura-te Dec 6 2010, 12:45 AM

Posted by: .ecyrB Dec 6 2010, 12:49 AM

I'm really, honestly lost.

Ron, calm. Don't need to snap at people for showing empathy to their understandings of the situation.


It's not his fault VW made Porsches were consistantly recognised for their flammable properties, is it?

Posted by: M.I.V. Design. Dec 7 2010, 04:16 PM

VW didn't made Porsche, VW bought Porsche Ed wink.gif
Also, the owner of porsche back in the days, designed the first VW model

Posted by: DMC-12 Dec 7 2010, 04:45 PM

We all knew that...

Posted by: Mkid Dec 7 2010, 05:03 PM


Posted by: Ben.H Dec 7 2010, 06:46 PM

Nope, the 944 was designed as a Volkswagen, the only reason it didn't end up as a VW was because VW couldn't afford to buy the design off Porsche, hence why most of the 924/944 family aren't really fast at all

Posted by: Carly. Dec 7 2010, 06:48 PM

Neither is the 928. gasp.gif Those are to normal Porsches what a puddle of vomit is to a normal Maserati.

He said Bye bye, like I was just gonna dump it in a JY and never see it again. I find it quite rude.

It was a VW/Audi joint project, later dropped, then Porsche picked it up. 944 Turbo was fairly quick, could keep up with the LT1 vettes of the early 90's.

Define Normal.

Posted by: Ben.H Dec 8 2010, 03:49 PM

Hence why I said 'most'

Posted by: Mkid Dec 8 2010, 06:22 PM

I found out what happened to your car Ron.


You payed more attention to your car then her... so she got even.

Posted by: Carly. Dec 8 2010, 06:39 PM

Can't blame me for assuming it was gone. You just had a Facebook status at that point saying your car was on fire. No pictures or anything.

And I don't know what you're asking about the normalness. Just a totally average Porsche. Whatever one is the best definition of the company.

911 Carrera

Posted by: Mr.Acura-te Dec 8 2010, 09:53 PM

Although the 911 Carrera is the bottom bitch of the 911's I would have to say it sells pretty well.

I think the another notable model would be the Boxster. It opened a whole new market for Porsche owners. Even if it is a little bit on the ugly side.

Yep, the Boxster is the Porsche most commonly owned by Female drivers.

Posted by: Carly. Dec 8 2010, 10:58 PM

And by those guys with lots of hair gel, big sunglasses, and a tendency to park in handicapped spots.
