VIP. Ridiculous camber. Low ride height. Huge fender flares. Tint. Big rims. Win.

You should try some PlasticX polish by Meguiars. It works wonders. just spend 15 minutes on each headlight and buff them to a brand new look. Worked my my 14 year old Lexus.

I believe that's a '94 or '95 929. I bought mine 3 years ago from the second owner for $3,000. It had 90,000 miles.

I immediately replaced the timing belts, bought aftermarket 16" wheels/tires and tinted the windows. Later, I replaced the stock wimpy muffler with a chrome one from Magnaflow with dual outlets!

Here are the things that you will be replacing soon.

1. Water pump
2. Air intake hose....they tend to rot and break up. When mine let go it ruined my mass air sensor!
3. Alternator
4. Cam seals

Other than that and just routine maintenance items, the car has been good to me. Still rolling with 135,000 miles and counting. It needs shocks/struts badly, but I keep putting it off. Oh, it gets BETTER gas mileage than my RX 8! 23 mpg vs. 18-19 mpg.

If I remember, I'll post a pic tomorrow.
