What wheels are those? They remind me of Boxster wheels but in a 4 bolt pattern. Where did you get them?

Posted by: Mueller Dec 7 2004, 06:58 PM

the wheels are Revolution Wheels (see vendor section)

17*7 with 205/45's...car needs to be lowered some to make it look better....they fit under stock fenders with no problems if you stick to 205's for tires

you need to sell the 964, it looks waaaaay outta place

white car will be gone soon, or so I hope...someones going to get a nice chassis...full cage, needle bearings all 4 corners, new Koni Yellows all 4 corners, Tarett 25mm front swaybar bar, Tarett monoballs on the front shock towers, SS brake lines, new rear wheel bearings, 180# springs for the rear....

Nice car!

Hmm. . . sounds like the white car is perfect to just put a fuel injected V8 in w/ 930 transmission and go driving

Hey 'Chung....make an offer...heck, I can even store it for you (outside, but covered)...might even take payments from you

Brant...no problem...just came to terms with myself that right now in my life I'd never be able to build and finish the white car exactly the way I want to...it was going to take a lot more time and money to get it "perfect"...and then would it ever be??? I think I was also trying to be too "different", with the motor conversion, the fancy FI and ignition.....right now I just want something that I know works, that I know I can just call up a shop or look on-line and purchase if I need to fix it......I'll save the "exotic" and R&D stuff for some other time

Posted by: brant Dec 8 2004, 10:21 AM

that totally makes sense...
I see no problem with that.

I think its a really great looking car and it will be EXTREMELY great that you will be on the road soon.

You're this close and now you're pulling the plug?
That's sad... Understandable, but sad...

What ya asking for the white car?

Posted by: McMark Dec 8 2004, 11:48 AM

Yyyyyyyyyyyup.

Posted by: RustyWa Dec 8 2004, 02:09 PM

Not trying to be to much of a smart ass but, wasn't the white car exactly like you describe when you got it??

Posted by: Mueller Dec 8 2004, 02:37 PM

yes it was...then I got this "bright" idea to try to make it extra special and turn it into a "race" car........too many fumes in the garage and wishful thinking

I have no budget or even the desire to race or auto-x every darn weekend, let someone else have the car and go down that path.....

I could easily throw a stock motor into the white car and drive it, but if I can sell it and recoup my money, I'll be happy...worse case is I take off the "good" parts and sell it as a bare chassis with a cage...

they probebly have medication for people like me, but so far no luck in finding it, hahahaha

Posted by: Mueller Dec 9 2004, 11:27 PM

the white car is sold.....well at least verbally, once I see the cash, it'll be confirmed

now to try and not spend all of it on the green car, hahahaha

Posted by: Mueller Dec 9 2004, 11:57 PM

yep....the VR6 is for sale as well...it'll fit and work, it's just not in the cards for me at this time....

Keep the Green Machine thread going , dont let the 964 steer you away. Enjoyed your conversion progress. Fun stuff
Im sure youll come up with something else creative.
