3SGTE's make a lovely sound . need to sort out those rusty wipers though!

 

[mrk]

Sounds nice but I kept staring at that rusted wiper arm

 

[SimonC]

Wiper arms, spray paint, much improvement.

Sounds great though.

Geekmans is a turbo, unlike that disgusting (and broken) white one which nearly got chopped by both my Skoda and your Alto.

yeah i just seen the video, that might be slightly faster than the alto.

 

[geekman]

Wiper arms will be painted, but that's just one thing on a very long list of little jobs it needs to be complete so may take a while!

 

[Jumper118]

i wouldn't repaint anything rust is lighter than steel and paint

Provided its only surface rust it will actually make the object heavier.

 

[Jonnycoupe]

Somehow managed to stop myself posting that. Haha. Rust needs to fall off first for lightweighting.

Plasti-dip works reasonably well as a temp thing takes next to no time and minimal faff.

I really, really miss having an mr2

Unfortunately wiper rust is the least of your tinworm worries in the uk nowadays, hopefully the weather treats it better over there

Considering silver cars normally look boring, that looks absolute superb, the 991 really is a great looking car!

I should never have driven the GT3 RS as now I am looking at 991's.

This is the most rust free one I've ever seen (unlike my old one which had a gaping hole between the boot and the wheel arch )

It spent a lot of it's life in Japan, then was imported to England and garaged up until I got it. Where I live now they don't salt the roads at all and there's far less rain than back home so I'm hoping rust will be a complete non issue.

You know it makes complete sense to buy one, if you don't you'll spend forever wishing you did. Personally I'm curious what's going to happen to the current car value bubble (especially once we trigger article 50 and we start to see the effects of Brexit), so if there's a crash you might be able to pick one up cheap. Either way total cost of ownership would be very small (unless you keep it) so in a way you're mad not to buy one really...

I picked this up last weekend, a classic in my eyes and this example is perfection.

 

[Rybo89]

Nice, is it a genuine one?

Can't remember if front disks are bigger on CSL's or not. Still, very nice.

20mm bigger at 345mm.

 

[MattHep]

20mm bigger at 345mm.

No it's got the CSL bumper, boot lid, wheels etc.

 

[Rybo89]

Ah, thought so. I thought the brakes looked a bit small.

 

[NickXX]

Ah, thought so. I thought the brakes looked a bit small.

There's barely a noticeable difference in brake disc size. The interior is surely more of a giveaway...
