Jon, the car looks amazing, but I'm sure these photos are even doing it justice! Congrats on an incredible transformation!

P.S. I hope you leave it de-badged as is. Doesn't need anything else, IMO

Yup. As said. Clean look. The only badge that will remain is the black badge on the front.

Had a kid ask me the other day what the car was....

I responded "Porsche"

his response was "SWEET - But what model"

to which I respond "You wouldn't know it, but its a 924"

"Never heard of it and never saw one before... they are SWEET"

yeah....

I'd like to request one additional picture with tire smoke billowing from the rear wheel wells.

Pretty please?

Hmm, "billowing" must mean something different over where you are.

Lowering it made all the difference. Looks really cool. Maybe needs a bit of negative camber on the rears though... looks a bit odd like it might be running positive camber???


yup, it looks very nice ! it has "road presence"

◊∆◊∆◊∆◊∆◊ UPDATE ◊∆◊∆◊∆◊∆◊


The engine came out, and is now all done up. The engine is now back in the car and going on the dyno tomorrow; with new heads, intake and bigger throttle body.

Should be good for at least a 50 hp increase
