One Porsche ruined! Saying the guy has built a Max Power cover car just rings additional alarm bells
Mind you I don't have to drive it and if the owner likes it I guess it doesn't matter.

I'd rather be driving the porsche on hydro's than the one that's sitting far too low on coilovers, ride quality and handling would be much better

Im a huge porsche fan and ive seen that about and i think its daft.porsche make sports cars.they have always been designed to go well and handle well.even though its clean the chap should stick to vw if thats what he wants to do imo.you dont airride a porsche.its designed to corner and handle.the polished rims also look too old for it. Porsche are like cossies,the body design is good from factory and doesnt need messing around with unless minor mods to make it stand out slightly. hopefully my next car will be a 911 but i wont mess around with it.just want a nice one

Absolutely love it,looks seriously cool.
And jimbo,you should know by now chip doesn't like people disagreeing with porkie!!!
As for modifying cars there's plenty of people on here who've made mods for looks rather than driveability.also,how many people have got 400bhp cossie's and drive them once a year to a show never going over 60 mph?
Quite a few I bet.

Certainly provoked a reaction! I like it alot! The wheels are a bit different too!
Surely the handling cant be that much worse using hydro suspension, or air for that matter? I would imagine the hydro is the better of the 2 but for general road use would it even really be noticable over say a car running coilovers?

The car itself looks cracking until it's lowered down then it just doesn't look right. I'm sure the guy knew what effect the lowering would have on the handling but i think it's all been done for appearance rather than performance.

Not really a fan of his other work though I have to say, that 205 is disgraceful! ![](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/shocked.gif)
He mentions a Delta Integrale in his response on PH, I wonder what hes done to that! LOL!

The 205 was done when that sorta stuff was normal ie, like 10/12 years ago. Personally i think the 205 was nice for its era!! The rest is balls. But tbf, the porker isnt as bad as its portraited to be!

Fair play to the guy, at least it gets used and not just sit there like the vast majority of modified cars!

the 205 was very cool back in the day, tons of custom work. It was on the cover of max power, last time i seen it it was rotting beside the lancia in his garden lol The lancia was one of his first cars its getting a full resto at the moment and i hope nothing else lol
The merc was a fastcar cover too

i think fast car rated him the 4th most important person in the car scene not so long ago if irc

I really want a 911. I've been on pistonheads every day looking at them ![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
No silly suspension for me. But would love some decent wheels and suspension! Man I want one!

To be fair the Porsche is the nicest one of all of his work but it still has spastic suspension on it. If it was on a decent suspension kit at a sensible ride height it would be quite nice, on the outside at least

Even back then you would rarely see such an abomination on the road and would laugh when you did as it was usually a shit car with a delta body kit or some similar shit.

I did! I would love that. I'd take any of them. I've become obsessed.
However, I must agree that the 205, the Merc and the 106 are all totally shit. The Porsche looks great, until it drops down on it's daft suspension![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
I love the way the 911 looks, becuase it's a 911 with what I think are nice wheels... Which makes me want a 911 with nice wheels.
