Thought you guys might appreciate a little 931 content. I haven't posted here before, but I am a Porsche owner.

The 928 is a legend now apparently.

#### me I wish I bought that pristine 1983 manual for £3.5k two years ago.

"With the help of a new battery, the old 924 fired to life just like the seller said it would."

How often does that happen?

"It’s an ex-concourse car"

Luckiest guy ever..

"he plans on increasing the boost and adding a front mounted intercooler."

Good plan..

"different pistons that lowered the compression ratio to a more turbo friendly 7.5:1"
Forgot about euro for a sec and was confused..
Maybe he has big plans for that IC and boost eh?

I don't much like the too small for the wheels tires..
Crap about the steering wheel sounds a bit poseur..
To each their own.

He sure has himself a great car there..

You guys are brutal. I was just glad the car gets attention in general

I always 'love' staring into a sea of Porsches at some reunion or another and not a GT/GTS/GTR in sight let alone a 924/931. Lately yes, but for the longest time nothing
