There must have been a problem with the deal.
That car sold on eBay two weeks ago. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=2418788697 |

It looks like a very nice buy, but If I am blind, it did not say a restoration was performed, and they are stating 100% rust free?? Inspect closely before coming to any conclusion. A newb's 2cents.

Believe everything I post Group: Benefactors Posts: 1,825 Joined: 28-December 02 From: Danbury, CT Member No.: 35 |
OK, this is going to get interesting...
The 5-bolt Mahles are made of magnesium. The 4-bolt Mahles are not. The 4-bolt Mahles are cast aluminium. I believe that the 4-bolt Fuchs weigh less than the 4-bolt Mahles. And, the 5-bolt Mahles weigh the least of them all. |

AFAIK yes, the previous statement IS true. Mahle manufactured the 5 bolt Mahles (Gas Burners) out of magnesium, and they were VERY light. The four bolt counterpart, which is a totally different wheel, and has never been called the gas burner, was heavier. The fuchs wheels were the lightest wheels offered in the four lug battern. The Mahle 5 bolt was the lightest wheel offered on Porsche.

JP,
I'd appreciate it if you crop out the P.O.S. motor from future postings... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Especially those beautiful... err... I mean... disgusting looking carb intakes. And clean up that ugly engine compartment... I think I see a spec of dirt somewhere... nope.. wait. oh that some dirt on my monitor. nevermind. |
