[s-cars] market price for some goodies

[Tom Green]

Wylie,

The euro headlights offer little that the DOT version doesn't have.   
Unlike earlier models, the reflector is chromed plastic, not metal,  
and the high watt euro bulbs will toast them in short order.  I see  
little advantage to H1 bulbs over the 9005/6 US versions and it's only  
a little more trouble to change the glass on the DOT units.  So, I  
would consider their value as no more than a DOT set in the same  
condition.  If you need lights, or need to refurbish yours, everything  
with much age needs new glass at $150 and some labor, so almost new at  
$400 would be attractive considering the scarcity of good URS4  
lights;  nevermind the original $800 ticket.  HIDs were expensive  
once, now they are $59 and replacement bulbs are $7.

If they are in a Bira setup, they would be standard boxter calipers  
with the bracket to fit on 314x25 rotors.  You would be able to use  
the new steel adapters also.  I would treat any used Porsche caliper  
as needing rebuilt.

IAs RS2 replica manifolds have a good reputation.  I don't know how a  
log manifold fits in here though?  Maybe I don't even know what that is?

You planning to go look this stuff over?
