Haha larso, I see you've lowered my car and let some sort of green fungus grow all over the wheels. Looks good!

Larso: A missing belt for the air pump will cause a car to fail smog in most states. It's part of the tampering inspection.

I liked the purple,and some armorall. as far as smog test,have you considered experimenting with different fuels,alchohol has no H.C. in it.run your tank down to E add 2-3 gallons (6-8 L.) of denatured or isopropol,a liter of water or so added to the mix will keep down combustion temps and nox, maybe a fishing wieght tied to the air flow meter arm to make car run lean,advance timing a little for complete combustion.

If you want to look at another two tone car have a look at my old wrecked 931 at the following:

John,

I can sympathize with your frustrations of a leaking rear hatch seal but don't you think eliminating the whole rear end is bit drastic?

Sorry, just joking. It did look like a nice car and I could tell it had a pinstripe between colors like I have seen on some other cars. That must be how Porsche separated the colors.

Thanks...Troy

"...and so John decided a Porsche just doesn't hold up to the rigors of a demolition derby as well as a station wagon and vowed to be back at next year's county fair with a Dodge Monaco."

If you think the Porsche was bad you should have seen the Dodge Monaco.

At least I could drive the Porsche away

My 931 is a kind of dark teal called "Lhasa Green Metallic". Strange name, but; it looks good (the color, not my car - it needs paint). It's most like the teal color on your link, but; a few shades darker - somewhere between the gray and black shades. If you like grey, green and blue, then Lhasa Green might be what you're looking for.

HAHAhaha @ Troy.

I don't like any of the two tone or pinstripe myself, I think the car looks best without any stripes or two tone. The "924S" don't look as classy as a 924 with good wheels...same with the 928s, the old ones without that side bulge look much cleaner IMO>

White and Silver are definately the most tasteful colors. They dont stick out like a sore thumb. If you want a green car, get a CRX or some other rice burner.
