Should it stay or should it go !

Sandeep,

Yeah the SC is stylish and comfy, my wife likes the ac and power stuff too, but my turbo ghia destroys it in brute acceleration and wtf?! factor. I want to keep them both but im not rich

I am sure you will think twice once you drive your own turbo bug, but if you still wanna sell it, I got my eye on some of your parts
Lets hope it doesnt come to that.

With your CIS setup, you could always turbo that ...

Sandeep,

True, but why not buy a real 930, at least it would hold its value over time, plus theres more than just a turbo that make a 930 special. It almost a shame to take a perfectly good 911 and mess with it, now if it were a basket case, then I would be right in there with my sawsall welding on flares and turbo-ing the thing.

Well said, i'd keep it as is, maybe a set of rims. That's it. Play with the Ghia.

If i were to buy one, it would be a '79 930. Almost did, bought the '52 split instead. Was a really hard decision.

Sandeep get the bug done, drive it, then make the decision.

Pete,

1987 black on black 930 with fikse FM/10 wheels is my choice, that was the first year for the G50 tranny.
That is one serious car, you cant just go out and buy one and expect to know how to drive it either, you gotta work your way up to it, with an SC maybe

so i take it this is really about keeping the bug vs. going p-car. always a hard decision. if finances are an issue, just remember that aquiring the p-car is not the real cost. you will get eaten alive in parts costs (repair or mod), but you know that considering what you have on your bug.

no good call here. i have had several of both and like them for the many different reasons. the 914 is the only happy middle ground, but then you loose the jump seats (if that is important).

i hate to see anyone fall out of the GL community, but p-cars are always tempting. ditch the Accord and go p-car there.

. . . and insurance. I would pay more for insurance for a Porsche -- even on a 914 -- than I would for my Super if all aspects were the same including replacement cost. Canada may be different; I don't presume to know details like that.
