Cheers PaulRS4,

@ 500plus - a lot of money to get it how it stands.

I'll try to get some better pics up soon

How many miles do you guys generally get for a full tank? I put £110 vpower in, what sort of mileage should I be expecting with mixed city driving? I'm not expecting a lot lol, just curious O

[HYFR]

about 300

[Maximo]

I get about 300 in mine and it's all standard. Try Tesco99 though, mine runs far better with it then on V-Power. Doing about 80 on the Motorway my range gets to about 450 with Tesco99 and drops to about 420 on V-Power.

Nice car by the way, can we have some pictures of the inside.

Not a fan of the roof but the rest of the car = AMAZING!

I hate to be a kill joy, the car does look great, I was looking at doing a rebuild before I bought mine.....is it really worth it..cost wise?

[posterboyj]

At trade prices for parts it is possible. Engine traansmission & labour costs do hurt unless you are handy with a spanner

I've never modded a car for financial gain.

It's purely for my own pleasure. On all te cars i've ever modified, i've never got the money back (and i don't expect to).

I do it because like most people on here, i'm a petrol head, it's my hobby, pass time, pride & joy, passion (call it what you like). We all do it for our own pleasure.

Joe Bloggs would never underatand.

@ 500plus - The answer to your question is that it's worth it to me but probably not to the average man on street.

[500PLUS]

Good enough for me...nice one, I threw buckets of cash at my old 964...looked, sounded, drove, awesome....money no object. Wish I still had it.

Well said!!!

I have spent sooo much on mine just t try and bring it back up to A1 condition and that is before any mods - well under water on it but dont really care as not planning to sell any time soon - just want the car to be as good as it can be!

That is a fantastic car you've built yourself there Sid. Cracking choice of colour that works well. Nice to see real carbon and not vinyl too. Well done.

[Imola_Sid]

Cheers guys.

Car needs a good buff and wax!

I went and visited Kim at QST to get a full healthcheck. Top guy and top service! Found out one dodgy plug was causing a misfire so replaced all the plugs for peace of mind. Both intercoolers were leaking too, but i've sourced some replacements and should have them fitted next week. Other than that the car is pulling pretty well

A few iphone pics, need to get the digital cam out to take some proper pics, these don't do it justice.

[mrmule]

whats the aerial at the front of the roof for?

[Imola_Sid]

I have no idea lol. The one on the back says GPS on it.

The front doesn't say anything on it.

I was going to post up and see if anyone knew what it might be for

[posterboyj]

yumm

Good colour choice - that looks superb. Sounds like you're happy enough with spending the amount of money you have on it, but if you're ever questioning yourself and feeling gloomy, just think of the poor sod who bought the car when it was new!

I've had a few people going on at me about how I'll never get back the money I've spent on mine (which is nothing compared to what the rebuild must have cost), but then they've gone out and bought brand new (crap) cars without batting an eyelid. Much better to pour your money into making a used car your own than just watch it go down the pan in depreciation I reckon!

Anyhow, back on topic, hope you enjoy driving your new motor - it looks ace!
