Which has the stiffer better platform o?
I prefer the wheelbase/dimensions of the S2000, but I've never driven it's competitor the RX8 at the time.
Thinking about buying a dirt cheap blown RX8 and swapping the engine rather than shelling twice as much for the S.
Are than any other rwd cars with similar power/dimensions/stiffness? Thoughts?

Neither. Get a mustang gt.

Bad idea
The s2k will retain value and the rx8 swap will be a money pit. Safe yourself the headache and just get the car you want.

I don't want a car that weighs over 2900 lbs or has a wheelbase over 100 inches, sorry

Close enough that there's a bend in my elbows and knees with about a hand's width horizontally between the bottom of the wheel and my leg
I'm about 6'2" but I prefer to sit scooted up as far as I can

Something not Korean or Chinese.
Never heard of anyone else with such problems with Korean tyres though. Myself I've had retread tyres fuck up suddenly but nothing else. I don't use Korean or Chinese rubber though since the retread incident so I can't speak so much for Korea
>>
>>15817589
>refuse to honor warranty
That is why you have state attorney general and state laws on warranties. Check out your state's website to see who and how to contact. Have the warranty info and the serial number of each tire. Foreign tire makers, particularly chinese ones, like to avoid warranty by claiming tires in certain serial number ranges were not licensed by them for official legal sale in certain areas of the usa. Some chinese tire purchases from retail storefronts have had such warranty failures notably Consumer Reports when it tested three chinese tire brands which were purchased from official tire sellers buying from the official tire distribution network.

What are some of the cheapest drift cars you can buy in America?
Ignoring the obvious stuff like miatas ae86 and 240sx etc. it's too rice taxed to fit the category.
and I don't mean theoretical drift cars (well... its RWD so it can kinda slide...) I mean cars that also have the rest of the stuff that make it a drift car in addition to RWD

Welcome to /pog/, the place to talk about all things Porsche! Current, future, or previous owners welcome. if you have questions, one of us probably has answers.
How do I Porsche?
(Prices are in USD and represent a sorted used car.)
>Air Cooled 911?
$20K+ SC
$30k+ 3.2 Carrera
$30k+ 964
$50k+ 993
>Water Cooled 911?
$20k+ 996
$30+ 997
$60k+ 991
>Boxster
$7k+ 986
$14k+ 986 S
$20k+ 987 (+$2-5k for Cayman)
$25k+ 987 S (+$2-5k for Cayman)
Based 944
>$5000 N/A
>$10,000 Tarbo
*Disclaimer: You can buy a 944 for under a grand, but the overwhelming consensus in the community is that sorted cars cost ~$5k... so if you buy that car for under a grand when you're done it'll be around or over $5k. YMMV.
>928
$8k+
>968
$12k+
If you are a regular poster who's car is not included in the OP, drop a photo in the thread and photoshop anon will eventually do his business :)

Also, PSA from last thread:
Want to get an early N/A watercooled 911/Boxster but are afraid of the infamous IMS issue? Well I'm gonna try to change your mind
>What is an IMS
The intermediate shaft has been present on Porsche flat 6 engines ever since the original air cooled 911 all the way up to the 9x7.1 generation 911s, Caymans, and Boxsters
It's used to indirectly drive the camshafts and is in charge of engine timing
>What goes wrong?
The IMS itself is perfectly fine, the problem was when Porsche switched to watercooled engines they needed a bearing on the flywheel side of the engine, and with their infinite wisdom they decided to use a sealed bearing with a lifetime grease
What happens over time to a small handful of these bearings is that the grease dries out and it fails, causing the IMS to throw the timing out of sync and grenade the entire engine in seconds
The bearing on the opposite side is lubricated by engine oil and has never been known to fail
>How often to these fail?
Engines from '97-'99 use a robust dual row bearing that has a failure rate of less than 1%, it's the engines made from '00-'04 that use a weak single row bearing that has a failure rate as high as 10%
But don't worry just yet, general consensus is that if the bearing in your car is faulty it would have failed before 40k miles
In addition the best way to keep it healthy is to actually drive your car like a Porsche should be driven; low mileage garage queens are more prone to failure
>How much would this cost me to repair?
If you have a higher mileage car I wouldn't worry too much, especially if your car has a dual row bearing
Fixes include:
>replacing the bearing with a new OEM part - $100
>IMS Guardian - $400
>replacing the bearing with an aftermarket ceramic bearing - $600
>removing the seal and adding a flange that directly feels engine oil to the bearing - $800
The last option is the only true way to fix the problem, but I personally don't feel any of this is necessary
