It's nice to see, I have a feeling that car is actually driven the way it was meant too, and not sitting at 60mph in a 70mph zone like most of the Porsches I see in this state.

slownrusty Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Wow bro thanks for thinking about me...that is the total HAWTNESS!!! I actually saw some pics of it recently too on http://www.pelicanparts.com But these are the best pics to date....WOW! I am speeechless and the attention to detail is SIIIICK! Its a 993 model twin turbo, so that from 1995-1997 - last of the air cooled but its got the "S" rear trunk lid (surprisingly) not the turbo trunk lid spoiler combo.. Running 18" Kinesis wheels (looks like 12-13" wide in the back), intercoolers mounted low in the rear bumper (nice touch!) and more CF than I cear to count! Simply simply awesome! I'm humbled Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olie05 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I had the opportunity to see this car in person a few years ago at a drift meet. The guy is on houston-imports.com and goes by something like "poor boy wong" Back then the car did not have the two turbos, it was just N/A and had a huge wing on the back... it was still killer. I think its an autologic car. The car is amazing... here is a pic of it before the turbos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cygnusx1 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I like the fact that it doesn't have big chrome "bling" exhaust tips. Very tasteful except for the seats. I would go for more traditional mirror locations but hey...it strikes fear nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug71zt Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Just check the licence plate - Dead giveaway that the owner is Chinese. I'll say that he's a lucky guy to own that. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug71zt Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 888 is the number most usually associated with good fortune in China, as the pronounication is very similar. That plate number would probably be worth $500,000 in Hong Kong. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaysZ Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 yup thats princeton wong. a rich mofo, definately NOT poor! haha. the cool thing is that he did practically ALL of it by himself. he's a perfectionist. there were some oopsies in the process but he learned to weld and fabricate with some friends at Autologic here in Houston (now called Stoopidfast Racing) and he's been upgrading and refining for years. pretty effing sick eh?

So they believe a multitude of the number 8's brings fortune. Same reason as why the Chinese and most Asians hate the number 4 because it is similar in the pronounciation of the word death. I was reading it as three eights which in Chinese is the equivalent of "nuts" or " crazy ". I guess you learn something new everyday.

The car dealerships in this area will rarely have the number 4 in prices, but a whopping amount of 8's as in $28,888 for a car. Which brings us to the 240Z.... 2 = "easy" 4 = "death" 0 = "forever" Wow, "easy death forever" isn't too great, no? 260 = "easy good forever" (6 is a fortunate number, but I cannot define it too well). 280 = "easy money forever" So why are the 280Z's so cheap then?

Sumo Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 So why are the 280Z's so cheap then? Davy I dunno', I'm Chinese, born in the Philippines, grew up Catholic and immigrated here, I'm just a confused individual. Now you guys got me from looking at a great Porshce to studying Feng Shui.
