gmendoza Report post Posted September 24, 2011 My sister wrecked my Camaro, so while looking for a cheap daily driver, I came across a 928. I loved the way the car drove. I just had to have a 928 as a DD. I had almost given up on a 928 after looking and being dissapointed by every local 928 advertized due to their condition. Then I came across by accident a very clean '89 928. The rest is history. My coworkers joke around that my hobby is collecting old Porsches; they may be on to something. :help: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerplop Report post Posted September 24, 2011 Fantastic looking car! I found working on a 928 a lot of fun actually. Tight in the engine bay, but come clutch time not so bad. Really cool cars. That sound! OHHHH THAT SOUND! Esprit, 928 and 930. That is a happy garage! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That car was felix's baby, the original owner gave it to him in exchange for maintaining his other porsches when it was near new.

Ya I think something like that.. I paid like 24K for it.. traded it back to them, they gave me I think 22k towards a 91 NSX for 30K... Wife drove the NSX for 2 years and we sold that for 29K..

Smash Boy Report post Posted September 26, 2011 Thanks. It was '98 z28 convertible. Maybe out of the box they aren't spectacular (esp. compared to some other cars you have), but I know these cars do well in the autocross circuit with minimal mods. Coupes at least....convertible might be different story. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmendoza Report post Posted October 10, 2011 Some may remember from my 930 thread where I mentioned I really wanted some Folger wheels for it. Well I bought some but the offset was all wrong for the 930 but the fit the 928 just fine. What do you guys think? Maybe out of the box they aren't spectacular (esp. compared to some other cars you have), but I know these cars do well in the autocross circuit with minimal mods.
