Porsche 924 or something else?

Featured Replies

My porsche is a 1983 924 2.0. looking to swap for a 9n preferably 2 door. The car is basically a volkswagen with a porsche badge on and takes mk1 golf coilovers etc. A good bit of RWD fun. it had a full 125 ponies out of the factory and still goes well. has some nice luxury features for its day and looks badass. its on 108k miles ish (will need to check and is my daily). has about 10 months mot and a few months of tax but again will have to check with interest.

Here it is on some different wheels and some slight photoshop tweaks !!!! - Wheels aren't included but we could work out some sort of deal...

I dont want to sell it but I now have a long commute to work and cant take advantage of lift sharing with only 2 seats. It does have rear seats but they where put in for some tax reasons or something and you can only get the slimmest of 5 year olds in them or have the front two against the dash.

Even if your looking for a swap, you still need to give a price!

I'm assuming a diesel astra van is no use to you?

what sort of MPG do you get out of if out of curiosity. got a 6n2 1.4 8v 3dr but after something a bit more interesting

more details. possibly...

I'm not really sure. its not actually that bad though. better than my mk2 golf gti I think. I'm sure that someone on a porsche forum has worked it out to the penny though. It's pretty fun to drive. nice bit of low down grunt and i put a rev limiter on it so it adds a bit more excitement bouncing off that (can easily be removed, its just a different rotor arm in the dizzy)

Swap for a gt breadvan? :)

So if you've used photoshop which wheels is it running on,, the second or third pic? does it have the arches?

Cheers, Aaron.

Sorry for the confusion. the last two images are photoshopped pictures of the car. I have now bought a 9n so I'm only really interested in selling this. I own the wheels in the third picture but everything in the fourth one is from the internet including the arches

Shame you have found a car you want. would have loved this if you would be interested in 2.9 corrado engined mk3 golf vr6.

I'm pretty interested haha. full spec?

Ahh cool haha

So its dark grey mk3 L reg genuine VR. Has had the 2.8 replaced with a corrado 2.9 ABV engine. The engine is standard except from some 10mm leads.

The body is on 170k but is a great example, the sills are straight and is dent free along the body.

The interior is in good condition no rips or tears. It is pretty much standard inside except from a mom steering wheel. The air bag bulb was removed due to the light coming on.

It is lowered on shocks and springs, gives great ride and at a good height. The wishbones are dead level.

It has had a lot checked and replaced recently.

some of which are:

second hand low millage gearbox - plus new oil
new clutch - 3 piece kit - flywheels cleaned up aswell
new crack pipe - thermostat housing n stat plus all seals
new ball joints both sides and bolts
new inner cv n gator on the O/s/f
new front disks and pads 280mm
a complete FULL service Everything youd imagine
timing chain covers, chains inspected , covers removed and re sealed
sump taken off chemically cleaned, new gasket aswell
New radiator
New coolant bottle and pressure cap
New coolant
New aux water pump
Another 4 Ltrs of fully synth oil and 1.5 Ltrs off Lucas oil stabiliser
3 tanks of fuel system cleaner run through
New heater matrix
Heater blower flaps have been repaired
New set of HID 600k

I will have some pics in the next few days.

Cheers

Keen to see pictures. why upgrade by .1 litres though?

I didn't do it pal, could have been down the the mileage. Also corrado engines have 10bhp over the 2.8. Different cams pistons etc also a different gearbox which give it a sportier and quicker feel
