I don't know much about cars because I'm an idiot, and in fact right now I'm car-less but I'm tired of telling the story lol.... Well I figured I'd post in here because we have 2 porsches. First is a 1971 911 that my uncle had built to race in HSR in 1999, but after 2 seasons he stopped running it. Just a year or two ago my dad took the car and has spent endless amounts of money on it and he races in HSR now. We also own a 1974 911 Targa Carrera (1 of 256 shipped to the US). The original 2.7L engine was taken out when it was damaged and a refurbished 3.0L was put in. It is strictly a track car because it sits about 2 inches off the ground, has no headlights or turn signals, and id so stiff that the chassis actually does not move at all. I'll put up some pics later if I can find em lol

I can't afford to go german... I need something in the 15k range probably thats FI that I can rock in. Lookin between mazdaspeed 6 and mx5, another 2004-2006 wrx wagon, or an s2k. I know the s2k isnt FI, but 9k rpm FTW

Dude, the Mazdaspeed 6 isn't even CLOSE to 15k, so I don't know what you're thinking there. And the MX5 isn't FI, so I don't know what you're thinking there either. I'd say look for a Golf 1.8t, but fwd=ftl.

mark v gti?? or what year?? how many miles, what condition blahdeeblahdeeblah.... lol. I'd have to talk to my dad about it first, but I still really want another 2004 wrx wagon... Loved that car.

Also would only go for GTI if it was mark v.... 2.0L pwns 1.8L

Then you're just ignorant, the 1.8t is a great engine. Insanely moddable.

Yeah I posted the specifics in the other thread which is why I didnt do it before
1) mazdaspeed mx5 lol..... not the reg one
2) mazdaspeed 6 is a nice car but i cant get a used one since theyre brand new so thats pretty much out
3) S2K and mx5 are small 2 door verts so not too safe in an accident

If the car is under 2700 lbs then I'd think about it lol... And yes I'm ignorant. I've learned everything I know about cars from Kevlar in the past year...lolz

well its an mk4 337 edition. recaro seats, bbs wheels, sunroof delete, a lot of other stuff is also deleted, 6 speed manual, and different body panels are all stock. also red stitching all over the interior stock(seatbelts, steering wheel, seats, etc)

its got quite a few mods done to it and i can list them all but needless to say its got money in it, and its very quick. its got 70k but mainly highway miles. good condition overall. interior is perfect. exterior has rock chips and stuff basically but still good condition.

if your still interested, pm me

Bah, even if they are highway miles my dad won't want to get me something over 20-30k miles... He has a real issue with high mileage vehicles. He gets the porsche motor rebuilt every year lol.....
