Now that the money is coming in right...

[quickdodge®]

I'm trying to decide what to do. I am having an opportunity to do what I've always wanted to do. Own a Porsche. Now I'm an old school fool and I love the old school Porsches. I've been eyeing a 1983 Porsche 924S for about 17 years now. Dude bought it brand new in 83 and he never drives it. I have heard the car run and even rode with him in it a few weeks ago.

Now here is the dilemma. I want to fix my CVCC also. It'll be a couple of thousand dollars cheaper to fix the CVCC, but I've always wanted a Porsche(ever since this 924 was brand new). I know not what to do. Later, QD.

man, i thought u were gonna say your thinking about getting a new mod for the truck.

[quickdodge®]

Lolol. I have not the Volvo anymore. Later, QD.

[Papa_Smurf]

thats really a tough choice, both cars look great.

but if it were me, i'd go with the car you've wanted for 17 years, even though i want to see your CVCC roll up to one of the EF meets...

[quickdodge®]

See if I do both, I can fix the CVCC for about $500 if I keep it stock engine. I may go that route. Later, QD.

[Marta Mike]

turbo? We just got rid of our 924s and correct me if im wrong the 924s was only available in NA. The turbo model was the 944. I really did love the 924. It was an amazing car for what it was. And on the highway........SEX. With wheels and suspension mods it would be one hell of a BANG FOR THE BUCK, but to maintain it i found to be just too much. Timing belts every 40k, adjusting the belt like every two oil changes, $1000 clutches....and thats cheap, etc. Thats the price you pay.

Check the pic above. The 924 most certainly did come turbo-equipped, lolol. Later, QD.

[Schlong]

Man screw all that other stuff, I saw you should drop a 2jz into the CVCC

[OneSlow5pt0]

924 = 944?

sounds good to me. restore your CVCC to working condition, and get the car of your dreams.

win/win :goodjob:

o,ok

i like the 44s better..but both look good:goodjob:

[quickdodge®]

I like the 944s better also, but the 924 turbo was actually faster than the 944, lolol.

Yessir. Later, QD.

[BiH1320]

I like the CVCC, what happen to the Volvo? Dont tell me you got tired of driving trucks already. Haha

[quickdodge®]

Nope. I gotta promotion to do regional runs where I will be home every night and still make the money. Later, QD.

[OneSlow5pt0]

faster than a 951?

or N/A?

Niice, with the company truck? Or are you getting a different truck?

[quickdodge®]

Company truck.

Faster than the 944. Later, QD.

[Dirty Octopus™]

dog... get the Porsche...
i dont think you'd regret it. :goodjob:

you can get up $500 bucks anyday to fix the CVCC :yes:

[BiH1320]

Company truck.

Faster than the 944. Later, QD.


Niice, congrats.
But yeah, I'd go with the Porche. You can save $500 to fix the CVCC anytime.

[Stormhammer]

Porsche, CVCC can wait

[Marta Mike]

Check the pic above. The 924 most certainly did come turbo-equipped, lolol. Later, QD.

sure did, did some research.


Compression ratio: 7.5:1 ....................Damn thats some low compression

[quickdodge®]

Don't question me goddamnit! Lolol. Later, QD.

[Marta Mike]

Don't question me goddamnit! Lolol. Later, QD.
crackers ;) LOL

[quickdodge®]

Yeah. This world would just plain ole bland tasting soup without them. Later, QD.

[©hris]

sell the cvcc to me! hehe

There is a place on Buford Highway accross from sprayglo that sells nothing but Old school porsche, BMW, and mercedes.... they have alot of 944's there for sale.

[Brian*]

they are both awesome ol' schools, I'm leanin toward the CVCC lol I have NEVER seen one!

[blackshine007]

I have a 1980 928 V8 5 speed sitting at my shop right now as we speak. I'm waiting for some parts to come in, but it runs. Well, I just got it back running. It's been at our shop for a while and I'm not sure if the owner wants to sell it or not. If you're really interested, PM me. This V8 sounds like a mix between a Mercedez and a and an SBC. It's pretty nice. It needs to be restored, but you'll like it.


EDIT; It's a grey market Porcshe 928 S

[Retro]

to me its not a porsche unless the engine is in the back....i really like the cvcc, its very original. i would really like to see it fixed up with nice wheels, suspension, and a b series in it. man that thing would be awesome. i think you could always find another porsche down the road, you see them a lot more. your the only person i know with a cvcc, especially in that good of condition. HONDA POWER SON! lol

[mushroom_toy]

I say do the Porsche and the Honda...but I'm leaning more towards the Honda. I mean how much better can ya get. oldskool love. CVCC ftmfw!

[FlyingStroke240]

CVCC FTW

[admedlin]

how much would it cost to get the porsche where you want it? You also have to weigh that in with the price of the car. But if thats your dream car, get it, restore it and keep it in good shape.

[fivex684]

If you want a Porsche don't get a 924! The 924 was like a beta 944/951, the 944/951 is a better all around car. I have driven both and would never buy a 924. Save up or do what you got to do, I think you would regret buying the 924.

[i4_garage]

sell me the civic :P

[Sushi]

dog... get the Porsche...
i dont think you'd regret it. :goodjob:

you can get up $500 bucks anyday to fix the CVCC :yes:

Took the words right out of my mouth.

[GSRteg®]

Ii have owned a 944 and it was an awesome car, but the up keep is a bitch. Go with the civic QD.

[SampaGuy]

Get an air cooled 911 or 914

[Hektik]

CVCC.....

[silversol]

i would get the Porsche and up grade the turbo my friend had one it was a very fun car , but the turbo was laggey

[RISKYB]

buy the porsche and fix the cvcc slowly

[Nismo]

Get a real porsche, a 911......

[civic95]

Make the CVCC faster than that porsche (shouldn't be too hard).

[Nismo]

^ its still a honda after all is said and done though.

[quickdodge®]

and a b series in it.

We're working with a D series. Later, QD.

[SRCRX]

CvCC, I have a friend with a 944 sitting with a brand new paint job
and a blown engine, seems like alot of trouble to him to get it runing.

[noridetoolow]

if this 924 has been babied and taken care of all these years...ONE OWNER and you KNOW the guy....how often do you find a deal like that?!! To top that off....its what you have wanted all these years.....I think you know what to do....so what if it cost a lot to maintain..its the car you have wanted forever....worth the hassels and you still have the CVCC to scoot arount in.

[coolcat]

We're working with a D series. Later, QD.

Hell yeah, a nice reliable newer D series Honda motor would be bad as shit in the CVCC, considering it has what, 45hp now? A more reliable, more powerful motor in a little tiny car like that would be the shit. If it was my choice I'd do the swap in the CVCC asap, considering how clean it is I'd never let that car go. after everything was good and running I'd get the Porsche.

[IDCoconut]

Go 924! Up-keep isn't bad at all as long as you do all the work. Having it front engined makes the work easier to do.

The typical "Aw man get a real Porsche" comment comes up again! It's got to be the dumbest mindset of the public and car enthusiasts. You guys are as bad as the Porsche purists claiming any Porsche made after 1998 aren't "real" Porsches. If you're one of the ones making the "get a real Porsche" comment and don't know what I'm talking about, then you should consider researching about what you're posting first.

You'll actually find a lot of Porsche enthusiasts own both a 911 and some variant of a 944. :yes:

My Honda isn't your typical Honda you see on the street 6,000 times a day. Later, QD.

[Pavlo]

924s are awesome cars, not Too bad to work on either. I like them, especially if you decide to make a Carrera GT replica, with the riveted rear flares and all. I think they look sexy.

[Humphrizzle]

wanna sell the cvcc i'll look into it.

[BABY J]

Sell me the hatch - then get the Porsche. Duh!

[Maniaç]

Mike, hit up d993s... when it comes to porsches, he'd be able to help you out with some knowledge.

[santacruz77]

im gonna have to say buil the civic!!!!

[AnthonyF]

he had a 944s and it was a really neat car. handled very well,

i raced a 944 turbo and it was a really quick car.

[Frög]

keep the cvcc, and drop a h22 in it later.. lolol

seriously, you've been looking at that car for 17 years and you've been wanting it since.. one owner that you know, and you have known the car since day 1? treat yourself right and get the Porsche!

[Buford®]

Mike,

I'd say get the Porsche, but that's just me.

Oh, and how are you doing? Long time no speak.

[speedminded]

sure did, did some research.


Compression ratio: 7.5:1 ....................Damn thats some low compressionNot on a '83 model, 1981+ was the 924 Turbo Series II with higher compression (8:1) and smaller turbo. The result was less overheating issues and the horsepower went from 170 to 177, the 1981 911SC had 180 ;)



I kinda like the 924 Carrera GT and GTR :D

As for the 924/944, i'd seriously put a LS2 in one and call it a day. The stock 4 cylinder Audi engine will probably be nothing but problems and parts and labor will be a complete nightmare. I had an old roommate that worked for a Porsche salvage yard and they were a new parts supplier as well, he had a 951 and even him working everyday with literally HUNDREDS of salvaged Porsches it was still a pain in the ass for him to obtain the parts plus the cost was crazy expensive. :2cents:

I've seen the 944 w/ LS1 swaps run at Homestead and the old roommate has ridden in a few with the conversion done by a company in Miami...says it's STUPID fast. The LS# is actually lighter than a 951 engine :tongue:

[quickdodge®]

That's blasphemy as far as I'm concerned. I have always been anti-engine swap-between-makes. Especially the Porsches. I would never consider putting any other engine in a Porsche except a Porsche(or factory). And I also love the Carerra GTs. Later, QD.

Later, QD.It already has an Audi 2.0 liter engine in it, just from the factory :tongue: Considering the history and condition it would be nice to keep 100% stock and refurbish as you can though.

[IDCoconut]

I'm with QD on the LS2.

Power is easy to get out of a 951 and they're very easy to work on. Plus there are an ass load of parts available for them. The problem is the cost lol.

[Echonova]

Grab the Porsche while you can. When will you have another chance like this? You already have the CVCC, so it can wait on the back-burner. You have the Volvo as a daily driver.....lol. What's the down side?

[BABY J]

That he hasn't sold the hatch to Baby J.

[Fr33way]

I say go with the 931. I love the 928/944/968 cars, very interesting slice of Porsche's (and VW/Audi) history. I personally like the 951 (944 Turbo S) the best out of these cars but if it is that specific model that has your eye and you are in the position to comfortably own it, I say more power to you.

[IDCoconut]

So did you get it QD?

[sleepys4]

I think you should get a 997 turbo i drove one last week, you would love it. I think.?

[quickdodge®]

So did you get it QD?

Shit no. Not yet. I gotta get shit right first. The money just started working for me.


I think you should get a 997 turbo i drove one last week, you would love it. I think.?

Shit no. Money isn't that right. Besides, I have love for the old school Porsches. Not the new ones. Later, QD.

[SleeperWRX]

stick with what you got in the sig

[81911SC]

You know what I would do.

[Flea]

Buy the Porsche........ If you know the guy and he had rubbed it with a diaper all it's life the do it! How many miles are on the porsche? Go with your gut feeling buy the porsche and leave it bone stock it's to pretty to molest it! Buy the porsche... you have the cvcc and lots of time. ftw! and after you buy it bring it to an athens meet I would love to see it!

[esiatlanta]

944 looks better.....

[quickdodge®]

944 wasn't one of my choices, either. Later, QD.

[BABY J]

stick with what you got in the sig


:no: Ummm, no. He should selll that to a sexy black guy from ATL who lives in Indianapolis.

[KREEP]

Buy it! Keep the honda and buy it. To nice to go to someone who will molest it

[Stopsnitchin]

both are ugly
