MakotoS13 · 10-31-2004, 04:13 PM

have you tried searching... the INTERNET?

i hear google has lovely weather this time of year.

JtWo · 10-31-2004, 04:48 PM

All google gives me is stuff about the 944....not 924....

AKADriver · 10-31-2004, 05:01 PM

There's 924 stuff out there.

The 924 is an excellent car.

MakotoS13 · 10-31-2004, 05:09 PM

...like i said...

and what makes you think a nissan freak site is gonna have what you desire? why not find a porsche 944 forum and ask about the sistercar?

freakin crap dude...

**Phlip** · 10-31-2004, 07:37 PM

I have a Chevy Caprice and an S13, I am going to go onto a VW website and ask them who knows about the Subaru SVX... I mean, it's an odd/quirky looking car, but I hear they're pretty cool.

MakotoS13 · 10-31-2004, 07:42 PM

woah, you have a caprice? i have a ford ranger! we should hang out because they're DIFFERENT!

**Phlip** · 10-31-2004, 07:45 PM

^^^ Odd, because I DO have an 89 Caprice wagon, you DO have a Ranger, this kid either has had or has done a LOT of research on the Supra, you and I both have S13s and I had an S14 before that, but-- er... Has he had an S-chassis? How out of place would it be to register on a 944 forum in comparison?

MakotoS13 · 10-31-2004, 07:47 PM

perhaps you are on to something good sir! because of the fact that i do own a ranger and i do own an S13 nd you do own a caprice and you do own an S13 we are both the same in our similarities and differences THUS understand where this child needs to go! EUREKA!

**Phlip** · 10-31-2004, 07:50 PM

waitwaitwaitwait... DOES he have or has he had an S-chassis?

MakotoS13 · 10-31-2004, 07:52 PM

oh that is a VERY good question phlip! lets ask the boychild for a response that perhaps we could use in future discussions as to the liking of the majority of which may be partially connected!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

citizen · 10-31-2004, 07:52 PM

he does not. I WIN. lololololololol

MakotoS13 · 10-31-2004, 07:53 PM

why phlip i see faulknorh of yonder fjord in the distance! perhaps he has brought answers to us to show us the education that maybe we need in this time of woe!

**Phlip** · 10-31-2004, 07:55 PM

Good point Makoto, seeing as how I am now 25 years of age and can distintly recall seeing the S14 in magazines when I was in 10TH GRADE and desiring it quite heavily, while it was BRAND NEW, and my best friend's (whom I have known SINCE that time) mother has had her '90 coupe since then, selling him on his reason for having one now as well... At what point did you realize your own love for the S-Chassis.

citizen · 10-31-2004, 07:58 PM

i leave to rape and pillage on the next tide, wish me look and much booty (as in treasure doushe~)!

MakotoS13 · 10-31-2004, 07:59 PM

i did certainly fall in love with the S-chassis after dying for a Z32 a few years ago and learning of its lightweight, underpowered, yet very capable frame that was a lilttle brother to the Z. this is the EXACT way i came to adore my 15 year old car that was a but a heap of neglected economy sports car just six months ago!

**Phlip** · 10-31-2004, 08:08 PM

So what exactly ARE your plans for your "15 year old car that was a but a heap of neglected economy sports car just six months ago" then Makoto?

MakotoS13 · 10-31-2004, 08:10 PM

i am absolutely THRILLED that you asked the inevitable question!

this is the majesty of marvelous magnitude that my machine will magically be that is manifest destiny:

**Phlip** · 10-31-2004, 08:14 PM

I will tell you now and in finality, that would be the SWEETEST thing you could THINK of doing to your car, I am so jealous now I could strangle you.

MakotoS13 · 10-31-2004, 08:15 PM

so it is settled then! a dual to the death!

**Phlip** · 10-31-2004, 08:19 PM

And what do you mean by death? Will this be a literal death, where one of us releases the mortal coil? Or will it be a figurative internet death where one of us simply gets "OWN3ED?" If the latter, I will use some of your own ammunition against you:

Badass240SX · 10-31-2004, 08:20 PM

Here is some info from Google:

That's a pretty good history. It misses the 924S, though. The 924S was a later model 924 ('86+) equipped with the early 944's 2.5 8v engine, gearbox, and suspension. It was built mostly for the US market to give us a cheaper (under $20k in 1987) model.

924S models are highly sought-after by front-engine Porschephiles because the power to weight is awesome (the 924's narrower body is lighter than the 944).

I also believe the US power rating there is wrong. At least by mid-1977, power in the US model was up to 115hp. The main reason the US cars lost power was low compression for our crappy gas crisis era fuel.

A '77 924 would just be a standard 924, though, not an S or a Turbo. Most likely the mods on mom's car are just some bolt-ons. A lot can be done with the stock motor, surprisingly enough, considering it's just an old VW truck engine, 2.0L with 8 valves.

Why dont you quit being a fag and just search? It doesnt take much work, you still sit on your ass.. the only difference is you have to think of .. ready for this... KEY WORDS to search for. But, think about it.. you'll get results! how exciting is that! Just think how many pages you can skim through!

But since you like to be spoon fed, I'll share with you THIS page I found many moons ago when *I* decided to learn a bit about the 924:

http://www.dimmer.net/hosted/944central/about/

My favorite quote from this link "True 924/944/968 fans have an honest appreciation for the series--the excellent handling, appearance, value, and in some cases, performance. If you do not possess this true appreciation, please consider these "924/944-inspired" options from the same era:

Mazda RX-7
Nissan 240SX
Toyota Supra "

funny, our 240SX is a competetor for that POS Porsche. hehe

whats even funnier is that you dont know OR just dont care that you mispelled Porsche. Are you sure you should even consider owning one? I cant imagine owning a car I cant spell right.

*crioten* · 11-01-2004, 01:44 AM

dude, nissin is so hard to spell...

makes me cry
