I thinks the sales pitch of I drove this a few years ago and it had a shimmy on the freeway was BS...
There's other creative stuff on this car. Push button start with a hot wire switch, broken a trunk mount so a long bolt, 30 washers and screw it into the wheel well, wired in top, etc. Easy fixes just WTF folks do to a car DaveB |

I wanna see more!!!! OK, How about the fuel tank.... I figure a 45 mile radius. I was impressed that they used a low pressure high volume pump with a separate regulator for the webers. Then there is the ignition: Glad they kept the switch cover on this for safety. And the push button start on the dash. Race ready - lol. I have more. It looks like a black rattle black paint job. Outlined the bumpers and painted parts of the chrome. Amazing what folks do. DaveB |

Isn't that a SAFETY CHAIN? There to prevent transmission failure (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Actually the push button starter was a common fix before we got repro (affordable) replacement ignition switches.

If I have to replace the chain, is the genuine Porsche one $800?

I'd put a padlock for easy trans removal.
