It looks many times better, IMO, but I would be awfully nervous about an inopportune "love tap."
Agreed, I think the best of both world would be a modified US bumper that looks like the E ... |

How easy and cheap is liquid nitrogen to get in Australia?
You will need either a cheap dewar flask or a few thermoses to hold the stuff. If you use the thermoses, don't put the lids on tight.

So converting from US to ROW bumpers saves 12.5 pounds at each end, or maybe 25 pounds if you switch out both of them.
Other than for looks or hard-core racing, that hardly seems worth the effort. |

You got a problem with white?
Only in that it's not Guard's Red.
The closest I can come to liking white on a 924 is the old white and red two-tone paint jobs.
Black is a close second, bu ... |

That also looks nice, other than the fact that it's white, has 4-bolt rims, and is not a turbo.
I'm sure it would the dominate concourse events. |

That looks really nice, and with only 37,000 miles too.
I am kind of curious just how many parts would bust in very short order after a month or two of driving it everyday (gaskets, bearings, rubbe ... |

$2500 + $6000 will buy an almost museum quality all original 924 NA.
I'd think too!  |

IIRC a stock 931 has less than 40 hp more than an 82 924, how much is that worth?
I thought the difference was closer to 60 HP.
To me a 931 is worth an extra $600-$900 a year in maintenance cost ... |

Thanks Paul
Assuming that I stick with the 1981-1982 cars for a moment, how much LESS reliable and expensive is the 924 Turbo than the same year NAs?
Is there anyway to roughly quantify that?
Am I ... |
