The OP is in Ontario California

Here's the thing, the car is done with all the radical stuff, probably no one will want it for any price. If you hadn't guessed we mostly don't like the idea. You can toss "uge" amounts of money and it may never be able to get smogged or registered, if it runs at all. And after 25k it will still be worth nothing.

Nice dream, tho. If I had loads of money to spend, I'd probably buy a much newer Boxster or Cayman and find an old bug to turn into an uber dune buggy. Or maybe a twin turbo Miata.

I've heard a lot of negative comments about Renegade Hybrids from the 944 community. Biggest complaints seem to be that they don't really support their product after purchase - some have claimed that their kit is missing some key components, and they leave you on your own to figure it out. No personal experience though, and for all I know they may have plenty of satisfied customers who have no need to complain on the internet.

I've thought about what I would do if I ever needed to replace the engine in my car. Right now the car is mostly stock so probably not worth putting too much money into it, but I'd like to upgrade the suspension and maybe an interior refresh. If that happens, then I'd probably be more inclined to do a 996 engine swap.
