911 turbo import

[Sonic]

Mmmm Porsche, I think they named the band Lagwagon after a 930 Turbo. Mind you, there's a decent number of RUF and Gemballa Porkers getting around in Nippon and they're worth the hassle!

I actually priced importing either an E30 M3 or E34 M5 BMWs but the LHD conversion on them put it into silly money. I'd only look at LHD Euros if they were rare (Alpina, Brabus, etc)

well ill just have to keep searching fro a good one, or buy a nice one here for about 50-70k,

my mate bought a hektic one for 60k and it was all good.

So what classes a Porcshe as "Hectic"?

Wheels, paintjob, "system" & exhaust?

why are they so expensive? what makes porshe engines different to other engines? ( i dont mean your average 6 cyl )

Nothing makes them particularly expensive from a design point of view, at least the older Porsches -- indeed, the very early Porsches just used VW mechanicals -- but the fact that they are rare and that Porsche is a premium brand ensures that prices stay high.

But labour will be the real killer. Its not like you can just wander down to the local Holden garage and have them service your Porsche. You will need a Porsche specialist, and usually that means big bucks.

My mates uncle brought in a 96 carrera 4 from UAE and it cost him $25k for a pro (like from porsche factory) conversion.
