Forget your lime green one how about this :P

After a cursory glance that looks alright to me. The genuine 924CGT rear bumper is in reality just a North American standard part, but they all were...
 
You know, I've got to say I like that. It's been done with pride, it looks in tidy condition and its not too extreme. The only failing is the price. "you must be 'avin a laugh mate"
 
With the correct period wheels itd look better. The original intercooler is a nice touch: Im not sure about the rear panels, which may be blended, but with the correct wheels and a small re-think over the interior,, then it wouldnt be too shabby. 937s used black with red pinstripe sports bolsters with script door cards. The trim isnt too hard to find and original seats are offered every now and then.
 
I thought this was going to be some mess but it looks ok on spec.. don;t like the stance and that modded is not for me but I guess some one will like it..the arches on the rear are growing on me.
 
Well I feel bad now [;)] I really hated it and I think it was the fact that it calls itself a Replica and a hybrid, the wheels being way off and the non original interior. I do confess its the wheels that do me the most fair dunkum. I am clearly in the minority on this car though ! I do quite fancy a real custom Porsche I have to admit, but it will have to definately not pretend to be anything else. Maybe an off the wall one off track car.
 
Track down some Fuchs wheels and I reckon it would be spot on. Certainly looks well cared for [:)]
 
AFAIK The Intercooler is worth a fair bit - not easy to get hold of and not many alternatives available for a 924 turbo without some radical rethinks to air intakes. I'd rather have a nice 924 turbo (with pascha interior naturally [;)] )- you can pick up a very good one for less.

Too right, I don't think that's a bad "conversion" on a 924 myself. Agree on the wheels, though. All this talk of Boxsters has clouded your judgement, Mas! [:D][:D][:D]
 
Yes sorry Mr Mas but with the right wheels and a couple of other tweaks I would really rather like that car [:)]
 
What Suffolk said, Fuch wheels and loose some of the interior clart and it would be quite nice,like the number plate,hate bee sting arials on all but 968's. Overall could be made quite pallatible.............................seen loads worse.
 
This car has had heaps of time and money spent on it and that doesn't come across in the the ad. The car was built with the current owners taste and is not always what you would do but easily switched. Fuchs should be used in my opinion and the owners but at the sizes needed to fit these arches you would need to spend a lot more money than the current 993 Turbo wheels that are on it. The current owner did want to source Fuchs ideally. The rear bumper is a rare genuine CGT and not a US version, I may be wrong but the US bumpers are no where near the same as CGT ones. The front end is recent full grp and done really well. All in all at least it is a good, fast 200bhp+ (TMIC will add 30bhp easily) 924 Turbo based recreation rather than a '924 NA' based bodge up and well worth the money. If I hadn't sunk so much cash into my car I'd consider going for it.

"well worth the money" Really? I mean don't get me wrong I actually quite like the car and I think all these cars are undervalued but you could get a pretty decent 944 turbo for that money. That's more power out of the box with a better resale potential, better mechanicals (in terms of engine durability & advancement, brakes, suspension, chassis components). I know the 924 is lighter and that goes in its favour but surely it would only be worth good 'lux' money? For £2500 I'd be tempted (if I hadn't just bought mine) but a £5k asking price seems more heart than head.
 
Belongs to Jon a mate of mine, and having seen the work that has gone into it I don't blame him at all setting that price for it, the paintwork is immaculate and every bit of that car has been done with the care and attention it deserves. The wheels are a personal choice and I admit wouldn't be my first choice but this isn't a CGT after all its a recreation and you could probably sell those , and the spacers to be able to fit those wheels cost a pretty penny, its been a no expenses spared build, waiting for just the right part every time. Only reason he's seeing is that he's been hankering after a 911, he still has another 924 as something of a daily driver.
 
I quite like that. I've been wondering what a square dash car would look like with a set of bucket seats and it's not too bad. Not having much luck finding a decent replacement for my driver's seat so been toying with the idea of dropping a decent set of buckets in instead, just don't know anything about fitting them. Anybody know what seats those are?

I definitely like that, though Fuchs & a pasha interiour would be de rigeur for me.. Re buckets: I have a Recaro SPG in my 924S, and find it really comfortable. At 6.5 Kg it's also an immense weight saving. Mounting them: Go to anybody who prepares Rally cars (there really are lots of places). It's their bread and butter, and they will do it right: Including strenghtening plates under the floor, etc.
 
Good call on the rally prep garages. Hadn't thought of that and have TJH motorsport local to me who prep rally cars and also run a car in the britcar championship.

He He, £2500 couldn't pay for the wheels, the OEM CGT intercooler or the engine in parts alone. Also add the car in standard trim and that would be worth £2.5k alone. Add the kit, fitting, paint plus numerous other extras. There you have the £5k asking price. You couldn't replicate this car for less than £5k. Just because the 951 is newer and more powerful doesn't make it better nor worth more. The cared for early 924's are more resistant to rust as well !!

I have Cobra Suzukas in mine and look good in my opinion.
