Alright I THINK we're in good shape here to get some more track time before the end of the year. After a couple of weeks of hemming and hawwing over a few prepped cars and even a few bone stock cars to serve as starts for a build, the awesome Brent Knoll has decided to step aside on the best deal in the area right now, and allow me to be first in line to purchase the prepped 924S for sale at Carriage House Customs here in Wanamingo. What a guy, huh?

Here's the candidate:




So the specs are:

'87 924S w/ a motor refreshed 2 years ago. Completely stripped (COMPLETELY) with a brand new CHCA cage, fire system, and ultra-shield seat. It's been raced for the past 6 years and really just need suspension to bring it to sp1/spec944 race readiness. Also need a new set of tires and brakes all around, so that's what I'll do immediately, with the suspension on tap for the winter months. I'm waiting for the finances to clear on the Z4 sale, which should be wednesday. If all goes well that's when I'll go grab her and bring her home before a vacation to Pheonix that afternoon.

Okay kids... that was just a false start. My bad.

Here's the deal. The Z4 wasn't a go-to car for the track. Just not the right set of ingredients for the alchemy that is a hearty track career. Don't get me wrong that car was ABSOLUTELY freaking awesome. Just a blast.. super drivable, and very fun around town.

So I JUST sold it today to a very satisfied couple on their 30th Anniversary. That's a hell of a present for the little lady. =) It seems like it'll be treated well and be served to a long fruitful life. And so begins my quest to find the perfect track beast. I'm currently in the market either for a reasonably priced prepped spec 944 OR a nice price on a car that I can start from, but will run as-is without a bunch of tinkering.

So let's reset this whole damn approach and move on. There's going to be alot happening in the next few weeks and I need a place to jot it all down. Read it or not, it'll still be here.
