Default if a 928 is a Shark, is a 944 a Remora?

after having/wrenching on my 911 and 928 for several years, I recently picked up two 944 project cars. neither running at the time.

as I was working on the 944S it struck me to call them Remoras for my Shark.

They could be refered to as remoras...among several other names, good and bad.

That 951 looks to be in pretty good shape. Have you found out what is the problem?

Isn't a remora a scavaging bottom feeder?

Not exactly "....Controversy surrounds whether a remora's diet is primarily leftover fragments, or the feces of the host. In some species (Echeneis naucrates and E. neucratoides), consumption of host feces is strongly indicated in gut dissections.[4..... "

both of my remora are in good shape. almost done refreshing the 944S. the other is an 86 turbo. PO had started installing another motor and lost interest. son going off to college, and they both already have running 944 Turbos.

so once the blk 944S is done, need to finish the motor installation. motor in but needs all the 'plumbing' reinstalled.
