Speak up or Post a pic of your car, or your dads car. lol
It must be Exotic........No a Vete is not Exotic.

[JIMCJ1301]

I dont have one but i want one. Do you have one? If so, are you going on High Rollers Run?

[slimBoost]

I have one pseudo exotic classic porsche dunno if this classifys but I'll give it a try :)

1976 Porsche 912E
(some 912E stats --> only 2099 were imported to the states - of those 2099 only 200 had sunroofs - this is one of the surviving ones with a sunroof. Of the 200 I would estimate that half are surviving - making this one rare and unique car)
http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/8/web/452000-452999/452781_2_full.jpg

http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/8/web/452000-452999/452781_1_full.jpg

Bought it in LA for about 8 grand - when it got back to pittsburgh it was time to let the modding begin!

First thing was first this car had a weak system - 2x door speakers (inifintys - kappas i think not positive) and that was it. I put in a MTX 421D Thunder amp that went to power a 10" audiobahn sub. The sub had a custom made box that sat in the seat directly behind the driver and the amp was put up in the contraband box of the hood.

http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/8/web/452000-452999/452781_9_full.jpg
(pre-wiring)
A car this old of course needed a capaciter and everything got controlled by an Alpine flip down face headunit.


After all this sound work the engine needed a little extra power. The 912E was the only 4 banger fuel-injected engine porsche put into the 911 chasis stock it put about 120bhp and ran 0-60 in a pitiful 12s. That needed to change.

The upgrades to the engine included a SACHS high performance clutch

http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/8/web/452000-452999/452781_4_full.jpg

http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/8/web/452000-452999/452781_5_full.jpg

and a full engine conversion to carburators - yes the whole fuel injection system was taken out. The carbs gave the car a much louder more aggressive and raw sound and drive. It definetly boosted power. That coupled with the cars crazy low weight of just under 2400 lbs made this car a perfect track car (not a very good drag car though)

So this is my show car - the thing that is most impressive about it isnt what ive done to it - but what I havent done. It has original paint - original recaro leather seats - and original interior (for the most part - mom shift knob and sound system) and it is in better condition then my 2004 tiburon. Just goes to show you :)

Anyway - hope you all enjoyed the history of my show porsche - leave your thoughts and any feedback. All the work on the car was done by myself and my dad (who happens to be a porsche mechanic - what luck)


oh and I didn't see that thing about your dads car so here is my dads
(this car is even rarer then my 912E - also a lot more expensive. The Boxer was never federalized by Ferrari so the only way it could be imported and legalized was by independent firms which made this car hyper expensive - when it was new in 1982 it cost over 225,000 for each year Ferrari made about 1000 of these - and maybe a couple hudred found their ways to US shores and it is estimated half survive [as many know it is very costly to legalize a car independently])

i love how "someone" let a normal corvette, that wasnt even a Z06 on the first drive and wouldnt let my lightning go... im just bitter , but think about this.....

would u consider a corvette that my truck can beat, that u would see tons of times in one day on any day of the week that is owned by so many people in america a rare and exotic car....

my lightning is number 1,062 out of 5,000. they only make around 5,000 Lightnings a year, u maybe see one once every 2 months because they are rare! (unless u hang out w/ me...) My stock truck is pushing 440 footpounds of torque and 370 horses... again i am just bitter

but dont u think some homework is in order for allowing domesics on the drives.. hahaha... oh wait i forgot its not about the fun anymore! its about gettin the money from the bankers!

i am bitter lol

[slimBoost]

when it was new in 1982 it cost over 225,000 for each year Ferrari made about 1000 of these - and maybe a couple hudred found their ways to US

That fact is wrong - sorry guys but here is the correctness:

correct fact: 1000 BBi's TOTAL were made - not 1000 bbis every year. 1000 BBi's TOTAL. We estimate that about 200 were either totaled (high performance car - low performance driver) or are in poor condition. Leaving 800 total BBis - about half of these were imported into the stateswe think. Making this 1 of 400 roughly. Oh and the guy that did the importing for this car ended up with cement shoes...

[84hachi]

wow, those cars are so cool, i wish i could afford one :(

You have a nice little project on your hands, verry cool.

I had a 1980 BB512 for a few years, it was not in as good of shape as yours is. It was cool until Enzo died, then the price of those cars went through the roof. I bought mine for 35k and traded it a few years later for a brand new TR. Now the TR is worth 40k less than the bb512.


Reza owns his own company, there for he own's the cars he sells.

[slimBoost]

well you would be surprised...


The porsche - I bought that one for - get ready... 8,000!!

Thats right - that perfect 912E I paid 8 grand for. Original paint that outshines 2004 model cars' paint, original leather recaros on the inside, no rust, perfect. I would estimate it would sell for about 12,000 now - cause thats what a lot of em are going for.

When buying any kind of classic exotic (anything over 20 years old is considered classic) the market fluctuates a lot and it requires a lot of timing.

You can actually buy a Ferrari for around 20-25k. The Mondial as close as ferrari got to an econo-sport. It's a pretty crappy car but they go for pretty cheap. I think its a front-engined V8.

[84hachi]

one place had a 1982 i think it was jag xj6 vanden plas for 6700 bucks had i think 60k miles on it, i almost got it, but mom stepped in and said insurance would be through the roof damn :(

[Porscheboy16]

I've got two of them: the 911 Targa and the 911 Coupe. THe 944 and 924 just aren't very exotic in my book.

Love the 912. The NA route you took is crazy, but I think the ultimate sleeper would be to drop a 3.3 L 930 engine with a G50/50 tranny for ultimate performance. The 912 is SO light. Of course, you would be looking at an easy 12-15K for the conversion.

[slimBoost]

another porsche fanatic!! I thought I was all alone :)

Yes - it was indeed quite a lot of work to convert the engine from fuel injected to carbs but since the original 912 was designed with carbs it wasn't like putting a square peg in a round whole.
Of course the downside to owning a 912 is that it looks just like the 911 only it has about half the hp - so instead of being a sleeper its the opposite!!

I love the targa porsches - my dad has an original 912 targa (67) and a 911 coupe hidden away somewhere...
Have you done any work to your porsches? Lets get some pics!!!

[Porscheboy16]

Targa is stock. The Coupe is currently going under a complete conversion. It is getting 930 F/R fenders, Fuchs 16x9 and 16x10, Turbo Tail, new Guard's Red paint, SSI's, Monty Dual Out Muffler, Steve Wong Chip, and thinking about a Protomotive Turbo Kit.

[slimBoost]

the turbo tail - is that the whale tail?

I was trying to order an American RS wing for my car but never got around to it - I always thought that was my favorite wing :)

I've got alloy fuchs on my 912E - are you going painted fuchs or alloys?

Ahh- seeing your bug reminded me of mine! My first car was a 1978 VW Beetle Convertable in this light blue/baby blue( or even robins egg blue I dont know what to call it really) paint job with a white convertable top.... man I sold that car quick :P But as I look back it was the only car I didn't have ANY problems with. Nice bugs!!! :)

correct fact: 1000 BBi's TOTAL were made - not 1000 bbis every year. 1000 BBi's TOTAL.
shit I wouldnt care if they made a million of those, they are beautiful cars. the 912 is badass. my dad used to have a early 911 targa in white.

[slimBoost]

I love the targa - they got rid of it though. The last targamodels looked fugly though - since it was like a clear glass roof. It just looked out of place. The earlier targas were definetly my favorite - with the hard sport roof roll bar and soft fabric rear window/surround. Do you know what year your dads was? Was it before or after 1976 (thats when they made a lot of changes to the bodystyles - big plastic bumper gaurds, less chrome, no air vents on the front bumper)?

[captain caprice]

A rear-wheel drive, 2001 RUF Rturbo sounds good to me. Yellow or black, please. lol


For some reason, the lines and performance of some Italian and German cars is just amazing. Sometimes one would expect to sacrifice confort and driveability for speed, but this isn't always true. If only I could find that money tree my parents are always complaing about... :D

I think you are thinking of 1973 as the year of changes, it came as a result of the new US DOT Laws.

Can't wait to see it. Arctic Silver is badass, but I prefer Polar Silver (Not offered any more, have to pay for Custom Color). Anyway, a Porsche is a Porsche and yours looks to be sweetass.

Ruf is the best tuner, they underrate their numbers and have OEM reliability. Not bad for a tuner/manufacturer. And to top it off, Alois Ruf is a great guy that will entertain calls from potential clients (even if he knows they can't afford the great cars he makes :clap: )

i have a neighbor who has a really old targa, it has only 200 miles on the odomiter, he never drives it, he also has a el camino and he drives that everywhere.

[Porscheboy16]

They are meant to be driven. They have had 911SC's reach 300000+ miles without a rebuild and some Carrera's have reached 500K w/o rebuild, just regular maintanence.

I daily drive this Silverstone 350Z, occaisonally the Boxster S shown with the previous photos, and additionally a F355B that I did not show earlier...here it is though, the photo is somewhat dated:

Richard, I can't see your pics, it's all red X's :(

[richard]

My server company has been on the fritz for the past couple of days with flash outages. The only thing I can suggest is to retry...

[The Godfather]

I see them now. Very nice car collection. I'd love to own an F355...but I think I'll probably go for a 996 C4S...then again... a Ferrari ::drools:: :)

[slimBoost]

The C4S has this crazy sound to it - its this rediculously deep growl. I've driven it a couple of times and it is freakin fast. A very different sound from the 355.

Good choice, we're getting a Dark Silver Metallic C4S with Black Interior in March. Can't wait to get a Techart Kit and some HREs on there. 19x11 baby!

[LOKI2]

Im going to sell boot leg copies of mischief to get this. Its only 700HP

WOW thats so badass. When is that coming out?

[AnGeLeIgH]

I don't know if the openings in the front bumper are big enough.


If I assume the fetal position, I could probably wedge my entire body in there.



BTW to Richard....SAWEEEEEEET!! :D

[LOKI2]

Thats the Gemballa body kit http://www.gemballa.com/indexe_bak.html

[GIO]

So is that a Cheyenne with a kit? Like Dado's Mom's truck? It looks like a very cool station wagon that I would love to own.

Yup its just a bodykit and wheels

[The Godfather]

HOLY SMOKES! That Cayenne is badass! I'd drive it around w/ Andrea in the bumper.

[Huy]

:dancingco lol

[The Godfather]

Huy, how much for the C4S? about a buck 10 or so loaded? What colors (body, seatbelt etc..)

[chunky]

damn robert, you got some nice ass rides

[slimBoost]

The cayenne is overdevloped as it is - the turbo model has more power then an suv should already. I've driven cayennes and they are wicked fast for suvs.

As for buying a C4S I can talk to my boss see if he'll give you a deal on one :) They are slick cars - but I'd rather have a 996 Turbo - just personal tastes :P

[richard]

I see them now. Very nice car collection.

BTW to Richard....SAWEEEEEEET!! :D

Thanks for the kind words. I am very fortunate to be involved with these cars. Perhaps you will all see and hear more about these cars from one of your "ranking officers" fairly soon, who is coming to help me film some of them for our next movie :)

Cheers,
Richard

[AnGeLeIgH]

Damn, I didnt even notice the Enzo.....is that your fams or a friend?

:welcome: Richard I hope everything worked out with the decals. I didn't hear from Scrap so I am guessing everything went smooth.

Anyways welcome and give us more pictures to drool over...

[The Godfather]

Damn, I didnt even notice the Enzo.....is that your fams or a friend?uh oh, watch out...either's she's gonna try and call you out....or she'll show up at your front door :D

[prova4re]

Damn, I didnt even notice the Enzo.....is that your fams or a friend?

That F50 is a daily driver, with over 40,000 miles on it, and its the only black one.
Nice pic's Richard, can't wait to see the video.

[richard]

The Enzo belongs to a good friend of mine. It is a pretty hard car to argue with, being as it is completely exceptional in every respect! Sometime around February another car will be added to our stable -- the Porsche equivalent of the Enzo :) It should make for an interesting time at the track, if not at least for some cool photos :)

[prova4re]

WOW thats so badass. When is that coming out?

That car was in the Gumball 3000 this year, it broke down early on, and had to be flat beded back to Gemballa.

Thats to bad it looks good but far from good old reliability I guess.

would that be a carrera GT?

[RacingHart]

would that be a carrera GT?
Or maybe the GT1?

[richard]

would that be a carrera GT?
Yes :)

I also like the GT1, but I don't believe they are street legal, and even so I'd rather the CGT -- I am a sucker for convertibles :)

[chunky]

Yes :)

the CGT has got to be one of the nicest looking car i've ever seen

[richard]

For the sake of looks, I prefer the Enzo. For the sake of everything else, the CGT. I can't wait to be driving this on a nice day with the top off :)

The only thing I will give the Enzo (that I wish I didn't have to) is daily drivability...

[NYSEGuy]

Wow! Didn't expect to see so many Porsche fanatics here.. Not sure if mine qualifies, but here's a pic of her...

Ed

[Ryan]

I think it qualifies, great looking car! The yellow is an exotic color.

[NYSEGuy]

Thanks, I ordered her in Fly Yellow rather than the Speed Yellow.

Ed

Actually I didn't ever wrap things up with him, I have been meaning to! I will try to get it together this week when I get my internet connection at the house up and running.

Nice pic's Richard, can't wait to see the video.
The F50, aka the "F50k" now has well over 50,000 miles and is still in awesome running condition! However, all of those cars are daily driven -- that Enzo had more than 2,000 miles on it within a month of ownership! Now has more than 6,000 :)

As for the movie, the event is pushed back a month this year but our quicker production schedule should put us up for initial release by March (as with last year). I believe you're an f-chat guy as well, watch the Louisiana regional forum for information. I will probably be more likely to post there as things progress. We have an awesome deal for distribtution thanks to Dustin :) Are you attending this year? Dustin and I (as well as the rest of the crew) will be driving down on the 11th.

Cheers,
Richard

[Ryan]

That is really rare, but awesome. It's nice to know these cars are being driven and enjoyed, and even better that they haven't had any major problems.

[Tricky]

my uncle has a lamborghini countach (spelling probably) its the 5.somthing quatra valve! he lives about 150miles away from me so i dont see it much but he lets me dig a ride when he comes to see us or a go to see him! think its a 25th anniversary eddition as well il have to dig a pic out and have a look!

PS the previouse owner was Rod Stuart the 70's and 80's pop and rock star dunno if you will have herd of rod stuart in the US he was pritty big here tho!

Tricky!

[Ryan]

Aaaaaaaahhh 25th anniversary edition Lamborghini Countach... my all time favorite car. Amazing lines on that car. And yes, you spelled it right, and yes, I've heard of Rod Stewart.

[NYSEGuy]

Alot of those Italian cars get bad reps from the owners that let the cars sit as show pieces rather than use them for what they were intended for... Let them sit long enough and things start drying out and that's when you get into the problems. Good to see the F50 getting driven!

Ed

[AJB 007]

"If you've got it, flaunt it"

"If you have it, drive it!"

Two quotes my dad always told me. Also very applicable
here. Something else he told me was only buy what you
can afford. Dont buy a car and have a huge note on it.

And on the other end of that spectrum are people who drive their Ferraris like they are indestructable. They are just like any other car only even more sensitive - so when you here the bad reps that ferraris and other hyper exotics keep that in mind as well :)

It's nice to see him drive ALL his cars as they were ment to be driven.

I sold my F car, and I don't think they would let me tag along in my Jap Ferrari. lol

I follow your posting's on the F board, keep up the good work.
If you need an extra camera man let me know.
Later Brian.

One of my sponsors loves what is documented in the Mischief Movies. Criswell is one of the only Lambo dealers here in Maryland. Well their Marketing Director tells me me one day...

Do you have a pretty wife or girlfriend? Do you fuck her?

Richard I am glad you are one of the few that would fuck your wife or girlfriend DAILY.

[ProMSL]

very strange metaphor.....but i agree

[chunky]

does that mean renting a car is kinda like sleeping with a hooker?

[richard]

Richard I am glad you are one of the few that would fuck your wife or girlfriend DAILY.
Beautiful! :D

Thanks, and thanks for the offer! We have the crew locked in this year already, but perhaps next year, depending on how things go with distribution this year...

[NYSEGuy]

Perfect metaphor!!!

[Tricky]

theres gotta be a bit of give and take! my uncle drives his everyday! (hes a church of scotland minister btw) he drives it from his house to the church and back so it dose about 5miles a day atleast! i know when he first got it it was perfect he sat it on his drive and didnt move it for a month just rubbed it with a cloth! and nowt worked by the time he took it out! so he uses it all the time! but he always has a couple of bricks with him because when he parks it he sticks the bricks under the wheels so he dont have to put the hand break on! £400 for a hand break cable! so as i say bit of give and take! got another mate with an F40 he drives it everywhere when asked why? he says its cos its soooooooooo loud he dont have to listern to his girl friend! if he got another car he would have to talk to her!
