Defecting to the dark side: Any BlatChatters know of a Porsche 997.2 coming up for sale anywhere ? Ideally looking for 3.8 C2S , would consider a manual 3.6 - ideally south coast but would travel for the right car at the right price. Message me

Thank you Ed

Mail back Ralph

Thanks for the replies. Not keen on eBay but the one in Portsmouth is local. I figured if someone on B C had one kicking about there might be som3 history with it etc

Ok will let you know

I know its a bit of a tall order these days but anyone got anything lurking i the garage ? Its not for a 7 but my nipper wants 1600/1700 cc x flow to drop into his N reg Mk2 Escort

I might have a Raceco for sale as I am selling my R500K - it also has another 'end' that can replace the tailpipe and a custom fabricated stainless pipe that goes under the car and comes out at the rear so another silencer can be slung underneath the back lengthways. I have actually got on a 98db day at Goodwood with it. I will also have a carbon airbox for sale. Don't wat to part with it all until the car has gone though.

Phil do you know if the tyres will get thru an MoT ?

I have been thinking about parting with mine- but unsure what to get - my son would like to do a few trackdays and autotests so I am thinking about a more entry level low power competition 7. My car is number 33 and as far as I can make out is unmodified. I read all the stories about the engine and track / race use. It did not put me off as one could be unlucky with any other type of engine (and many friends with other types of cars who do trackdays autotests rallying have been in this position) my car is coming up to 20k and had a rebuild at around 11k at Minister. Kevin Dance (ex CC) who lives in these parts looked over the car last year and will do that for me this year. He says the stories are unfounded as in some ways Minister wanted the ongoing work and also needed to cover themselves when a few did initially at the beginning go tits up. There is another ex CC chap who lives here on the IOW who was heavily involved in the R500 project and apparently had something to do with Minister and the original spec so there are people out there who know the engines and can deal / have the experience with any issues. Not sure about Dave Andrews these days but he could also deal with any woes - at the end of the day its old school performance now and is only nuts and bolts.

I bought 4 new ones around 3 years ago and had them on my car for a handful of miles before I sold the car on and removed the tyres and sold it with the old 888s because the car was going to Germany. I would sell all 4 together let me dig them out.

spotted on the mini roundabout going down Carisbrooke Hifh Street with Valentinos on your right - full cage green bonnet - not seen the car before. I was coming up the hill in my new new Tranny van combi

I am counting my pennies Dizz

Dizz don't do this to me anyone want an R500K ?

YHM

saw you coming past my house this morning - green & yellow - 2 up - I was in the red MX5 pulling into my driveway stopped and gave you a wave - I know I was in the Missus's car - what must you have thought ? a hairdresser ?? - the R500 was in the garage - its complicated and I know I should have been out in it today ....
