(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Congratulations!

Per Jeff B, the FI is similar to our 914s.

1978-79 are K-Jet (CIS), but 80-83 are L-Jet just like our 1.8L cars.

Man, is that motor pretty. I'd want that in the front of a hot rod just to show it off.

You need some new Porsche sounds and hp/Tq.
Install a set of our Gen2 928 long tube headers and you will dig it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Attached Image

The 928 forum on Rennlist is very active. You will get a better reception there. If yours has been looked after by the POs it will be a terrific car.

Always liked the 928, a GT, S4, or GTS would make a fun family car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

FYI-never drive near a boat dock.

Some MSDS trivia;
The first set of prototype 928 headers were built in 1978, on the car owned by the Vance + Hines motorcycle race team. We did all nighters on the 928 project and finished at 3am. This was at my first shop, located in downtown Culver City. We test drove it uncorked on the quiet industrial streets , getting in most of 3 gears out of 5. It was the euro spec version and was a ton of fun !
DON'T try this today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Rick, I could always send you a set (raw steel) for you to cut + fab to fit.
PM me for the details (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
