Wingnonut Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 The red one at Hexagon looks lush! But £130k!,! And to think I nearly bought one back in 2007 for well under 30k! I still would if money was no object. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripe Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Mechanically pretty much the same as a 3.2 Supersport. Although touted as having turbo running gear in reality this is limited to the brakes and rear suspension arms, the torsion bars are stock 3.2 Carrera and the dampers are Boge, so not too firm a ride. Roof leaks in heavy rain below 65 mph, but TBH most driving is done on nice days with no roof. Some parts are no longer available. Chronically undervalued at present... No cooler car than one of these on a hot sunny day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
World Citizen Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I love the look of a wide body speedster Jeremy what parts are NLA? Between my two projects I should have enough bits left over to do either a wide body 3.2 or 964 conversion if I can find a windscreen and door glass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripe Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Bits and bobs Steve, windscreen glass is available but the frames aren't. Also NLA is the rear view mirror, dashboard, certain hood components and the aerial to name but a few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_W Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I love the look of a wide body speedster I've always much preferred the narrow version, as it seems more suited to the minimalist style I envisage for a Speedster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
World Citizen Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) Al, I agree but I was using man math on my stash of left overs 964 turbo front/rear bumpers + 930 or/and narrow bodied 964 front wing/rear quarter panel moulds + 964 complete manual conversion parts pile + mould for Recaro SPG seat + set of 18" BBS E88 996 GT3 RSR wheels take the square root of what Speedster parts are available parts and multiply by the power of a 964 tiptronic/auto targa or cab car = something interesting without a roof Edited May 12, 2014 by World Citizen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boydyrs Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Mine with hardtop....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Not sure I like that hard top but otherwise the car must be stunning wide open! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnonut Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Have to say a narrow bodied 964 would be my speedster of choice. Nice one Boydyrs. But the hardtop is rather an aquired taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boydyrs Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 It came with the car when I bought it so wasn't going to refuse it? Hardly use it as it's open top all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
