I've got my first "S"

by **BLOW PW** Mon 15 Feb 2010, 05:58

If you've read other posts you'll realise by now I'm the proud owner of a 924S I've got my first "S" Icon_biggrin

& yes, you're right, it is the one Paz posted for sale on here.

MOT till Oct, Tax till March so for £300 I'm a very happy man. OK, it needs a bit of a tidy & there are a few mechanical issues to sort (but hopefully nothing major) but for the money, I got a bargian.

He threw in all the bits he mentioned in his post (Turbo Badge Panel, fiberglass sill covers, spare front bumper, a good Avon tyre...& a stick to hold the hatch open I've got my first "S" 52658

).

I threw a bucket of water over it & it's looking better already.

What could be a bonus is the reg. number. Obviously it will soon be wearing BLOW PW & I thought the plate it has now was just another one of those £50 ebay Irish plates & wouldn't be worth the £105 to put it on retention & was just going to let it go when I change plates. However, after searching ebay for similar reg's, I've had a change of mind.

Go to ebay, click on Cherished Numbers in ebay Motors & search for PAZ & you'll see what I mean......

Pic's will have to follow later. Off to Scotland at midday tomorrow & not back till Thurs evening.

ill wait till friday 4 pics I've got my first "S" Icon_bounce

by **hersham boy** Tue 16 Feb 2010, 07:08

Don't need pic's as i drove it back from chesterfield for him. Looks very good drives spot on. will even say its one of the best driving 924's i ever driven, and i have driven a few! I've got my first "S" Icon_eek

by **Mav666** Tue 16 Feb 2010, 07:15

More than a few!!

Sounds like a hell of a deal was had, shouldn't need to much work then??

by **BLOW PW** Tue 16 Feb 2010, 09:18

I'll do my best to take some pic's on Friday...but might be Saturday.

The long term plan is to fit the Carrera kit (but there's a couple already on here that will put my lowly efforts to shame) but in the short term, as I have a couple of different front spoilers & some side skirts, all I need to find is an under bumper rear spoiler & I think I'll fit those, knock out the few dents & scrapes, get the paint out & that will tidy up the outside for now.

Will be fitting the red & black seats out of Gladys along with the steering wheel, give the carpets a hoover, polish the the crackless dash (well, it has one tiny crack by the centre speaker cover but it's hardly noticable) & the interior will be sorted. Will have a go at fitting my cream clocks at a bit of a later date.

Mech wise, change all fluids & filters & save up for the belt changes (if the paperwork & mileage are right, the belts were done about 10000 miles ago...but in 2005), check brakes & renew if needed.

Not a lot really.

by **Mav666** Tue 16 Feb 2010, 09:27

really chuffed for you Pete, and at least this one is in your favourite colour I've got my first "S" Icon_wink

by **Lord Chris** Tue 16 Feb 2010, 20:15

will your old exhaust fit? innocent

by **tux** Wed 17 Feb 2010, 02:40

That exhaust would be cool. Just wondering whether it might strangle a 2.5 a tad? Maybe Pete will try it and let us know.

by **BLOW PW** Wed 17 Feb 2010, 04:02

Not sure the Janspeed will fit. Might have a look-see (not sure Rob would be too pleased if I take it off Gladys mind).

Got a good Stainless one fitted on the "S" at the mo so not sure it worth changing it.

by **hersham boy** Wed 17 Feb 2010, 06:10

Totally different mate. it will not fit. I've got my first "S" Icon_biggrin

by **Mav666** Wed 17 Feb 2010, 06:24

It really does work in Rob's favour there, totally different exhaust on the S I've got my first "S" Icon_wink

by **BLOW PW** Wed 17 Feb 2010, 06:27

Not to worry, the Stainless one fitted is fine. Sure I can get the same kind of sound by altering the back box & fitting twin tail pipes (we do have a Fab Sop at work & we use Stainless tube I've got my first "S" Icon_biggrin

)

by **hersham boy** Wed 17 Feb 2010, 06:39

Talking of you works fab shop, mate, best pal, my fav person in the world. I've got my first "S" Icon_biggrin

Me needs a bumper grill for me top cat, would look great with a stainless one cut out with a nice design. I've got my first "S" Icon_cool

its only about 18" by 6" not very big the one that should be there is missing.

by **BLOW PW** Wed 17 Feb 2010, 06:43

You give me the size & design & I'll sure we can cut it for you.

Satin or Mirror Polished Stainless?

by **hersham boy** Wed 17 Feb 2010, 07:04

satin, i'll measure it. i will have to have a little fold at the top to drill holes to fit it. would like the words TOMCAT as large as possible and then stick mesh behind it. I've got my first "S" Icon_cool

by **BLOW PW** Wed 17 Feb 2010, 07:12

No prob mate. Do a quick sketch of what you want & let let me know the true size you need (in metric please...the guys who do the CAD work don't know what inches are I've got my first "S" Icon_eek

) & how much of a fold you need. Even get the holes done in the fold for you.

by **Lord Chris** Wed 17 Feb 2010, 07:29

I really used to enjoy following you through tunnels with that Janspeed on Cool

by **BLOW PW** Wed 17 Feb 2010, 07:33

I know what yu mean Chris...I used to go through EVERY tunnel with my window down I've got my first "S" Icon_biggrin
