Another V8 with 18's

I test drove a 5-speed 928 S4 in Ottawa...
Nice car. Chipped and a hi-po exhaust on it. The car would rocket forward but wouldn't feel like it. Somehow it didn't shove me back in my seat like FrankenAudi did. Anyway, I was nearly going to buy it but I just couldn't justify that much money on a car of that age. Toss $20 large at a typ 44 and you'd have a missile!
If I get another shot at a 1967 911S I'll jump at it though. Those cars are awesome fun! With an MSD ignition and a pair of K&Ns in that 2.0L I kept neck and neck with a new 1.8T Golf that was chipped and had exhaust work. Not bad for a car that was 36 years old at the time! The tough part will be saving up for the gas station!
<edit> Oh... and I almost forgot... yea... the GTS version is a beauty. Loads of power and definitely the best Bahn blaster out there in it's day of sport touring IMHO. </edit>

The sad thing is.......
we were both trying to sell our cars at the same time last year (ours had S8 wheels on it at the time) and we both still have them. Maybe not "sad", but strange.
Why is that?
Why is that?
I have no idea why.

V8 with 18's
super sharp!!!! man do i want to lower mine now!! what shock and spring set up are you using? any probs with 245's? my 235's just fit (little rubbing on full turn )
i didnt think i would like the 5 spoke look but after your pics...i do like !!
When its time for a repaint look into painting the lower black white... will give the car an even lower look. also what other mods have you on her?

Re: V8 with 18's
Sorry it took me so long to respond, I didn't see your response untill today....
Thanks for the kind words about the car. I REALLY like the 5 spoke wheels. Nice and simple and easy to clean.
The car has Bilstein's and H&R's. No problems at all with the 245's (no rubbing at all). I thought that the 9in wheels might be a problem too, but with the 35mm offset, they could really use some spacers or wider rubber. They are tucked inside the bodywork just a little too much for my taste. Some 10mm spacers would be perfect.
Other mods are 4.2l front sway bar, IA Chip and euro lights.
