.....you need to change the wheels.....




I'm kidding

What grey is that? When it was parked next to a 911? in some photo somewhere, I thought yours was significantly nicer.

Another is you can't polish a turd. But hopefully that doesn't apply here.

But you can roll it in glitter.

Mine's seal grey, but the photo you saw I think was of Minimoog's car, which I think is a slightly darker colour than mine.

Loving the 17-inch wheels, BTW.

220k miles c4s. Fascinated to see what this goes for!

It would be interesting to know what it was used for, perhaps someone who worked in Europe that didn’t fly for whatever reasons

That could make for a seriously good buy for someone.

I've just seen it's a tip. Shame, good candidate for a Hartech build otherwise assuming it doesn't go up too much.

With a nicer advert and more pro photos and assuming a full history, that 550 could reach circa £25k.

Nah. I reckon about £20k. Would much rather this for £28k with only 3000 miles.

And this one is £23k...

I think you just helped me prove my point that it could get up to £25k. The two you show are from dealers and have much nicer photos and presentation. The second cheaper one is a tip.

If the eBay one had the same treatment it would probably be listed around £25k.

Ah, okay. It's a cool colour, looks quite different depending on the light I think.

I paid £1k less for a 987 with half that mileage. Hope he gets that so I can justify more for mine!

This one's also kind of interesting. I don't care for the wheels or cosmetic mods and the interior is a bit too striped for me but easily put back.

Is it? This looks far beyond a saturday mornings of putting back on the original interior. Looking at those door cards, i fear they are simply screwed into the doors using coach bolts. Also the engine work it has done to it looks rather crude.

This is best left alone as it is to do track days in, but for a road car there much better cars around for the money.

[snotrag]

Its horrific. Its 'trackday mods' consist of buying things that have been fitted becoz racecarz have them .

Pointless stick on corner splitters. Naff Japanese style wheels which offer no benefit over OE wheels. Square bottom steering wheel. Take the numberplate, which fits in a nice neat spot on the bumper, and stick it on the side, for no reason what so ever.

Double thumbs up for then having clear and obvious mounting points in the orignal, correct, centre position, still visilbe but attempted to be covered. Maybe cover them with... I dunno.... the number plate?

Its someone who has upgraded from a Honda Civic or MX-5 and taken their lack of taste, understanding of function, design and engineering with them.

And before anyone cries out, This is 100% not snobbery, or anti-everything thats not stock, or 'dont beef at my style man', because I also owned multiple MX-5s, a Civic, and a Boxster, all of which were modified to make them more suitable for trackdays.

None of them had any of that ste stuck to them though.

(also in for the open cone filter sat in the engine bay, and the "I've added up all the +5hp claims for all the bits I've bought so it must have 275hp now").

[ATM]

I'm not saying I like this car but there was a company selling a mod package which claimed around 275 bhp for the 986 S which I think involved exhaust manifolds, a different throttle body and ecu remap. So I think 275 is possible if done right.

[snotrag]

Oh absolutely. I'm just not getting that kind of vibe from the inlet manifold t-piece that looks like its been welded from air con ducting!
