Hey I have a really nice passenger door in black. I was going to buy that car but things didn't work out with scheduling. He was a super nice guy selling it. $200.00 complete door with window! Let me know.

I literally just drove 2 hours to South Bend IN to pick a pair of doors up yesterday!

He said someone from Chicago was lookin to buy it, Did you get a chance to drive down to look at it?

Hey if you need parts let me know. I have a ton right now. Put that timing belt on so it doesn't mess that motor up.

Oh ok. I though it was after a certain VIN number for 86.5 so that's why I thought a regular 86. I will look into that.

Looking real quick it has the dual exhaust pictured below and the third brake light. Not sure if this helps any.




As far as the Brembos...does anyone have a pic of what them? Do they have the logo on them?

86.5 have the separated Dual exhaust like the S4. Not the old dual exhaust from your picture

Lots of stuff can get changed over the years.

86.5 will have a serial number with the last 4 above 1000.

I agree!! the vendors listed are EXCELLENT...Especially 928INTL...I ordered a USED starter from them & when it arrived the Bakelite cap where you connect the wires was BROKEN...I called them about it & they shipped me another one THAT DAY!!! (no cost!).....When I asked them if I should sent the broken one back. They said:"No It's trash..Throw it away" Most places DO want the 'dead part' back...Really Great people to do business with...
