Just ordered the shift mechanism that connects the shift lever to the transmission. $1284 for the part.

Would have gotten me a whole transmission with limited slip for a honda.

Yep, cost me 3k to fix the wing on my 911 turbo, it wouldn't go up and down anymore.

Some of the parts quotes I see on the Porsche side

telopyros · 02-24-2010, 03:49 PM

Vr-4-Life · 02-24-2010, 04:19 PM

420sx · 02-24-2010, 04:22 PM

Gotta love markup.

DPancoast · 02-24-2010, 04:36 PM

totally could have gotten that for you cheaper... but yeah, gotta pay to play

SovXietday · 02-25-2010, 01:01 AM

Thats ther problem with buying cars like that. Hell at one point when I was making some pretty nice $$$$ I was looking at a pretty decientley priced Ferrari Testerossa. That quickley fell through when I saw what it would have been to do oil changes and tune up's. A very wise car guy told me when you buy a car of that magnitude You should have enough money to buy it again, If not you cant afford it.

If you take it easy on a ferrari and drive less then 5000 miles a year you can get by on average spending $5000 a year to maintain it. If you beat the crap out of it thats another story.

Porsches you can beat the crap out of and spend 5 grand a year to maintain.

Cars of this quality only come up once or twice a year.

How do most owners feel about that type of engine swap? I would think a car like that most would want to keep it all original.

NOPSTNS · 02-25-2010, 10:07 PM

Ratio it.
Cost of a Porsche: cost to repair
Cost of a Honda: cost to repair

Its all relative.

If I had money like that, Id own them too.

Paid less for my s13.

Pretty common.

The 914-6 is rare, modifying it has horrified a few purist. generally people start with a regular 914.
