If the series you're running with allows, I think I would just look at buying a coilover kit for the front struts. Either Paragon Products or Ground Control come to mind, I'm sure there are others.

Thanks, didn't know this. My S2 came with aftermarket audio, and the door speakers have no grilles. I have a set of the flat plastic grilles from a parts car, but they wouldn't fit over the tweeters....

Does the vin number on that sticker match the vin on the windshield? It looks like it says 94 under chassis number, a turbo should say 95.
After Type it should say 951, not 944.
There's also a...

That's correct, no separate distributor. The cap attaches to the top cover over the timing belt.

There should be a three or 4 digit number stamped on the hub, and on the box it came in. It might have a leading "L", like "L8010" or "L7004"

If it says 230 or 231, that's a hub for a 911.

Just to clarify - Part #2 in the photo below doesn't touch the ring in the back side of the hub, or are you talking about something else?
What part number hub are you using?

That's the info I needed. Looking at the car in the garage, I thought the hatch was longer than it was wide. It's not. Only 45" from the top of the hatch to the end of the spoiler. I don't have to...

8010 is the correct hub for an early car. Yes, the same hub fits early VWs. I had a Scirocco wheel on a parts 944 to move it around.

Next problem - GOTA944 hasn't posted here since Feb 2021. Maybe my tagging him will generate a email on an account that he's still using.

One of my 944s has been a bare shell, waiting for paint, for about 3 1/2 years now. I've owned that car for almost 20 years, and in that time it has never turned a wheel under its own power.

The mirror in my S2 is about 9 1/8" wide at the widest part, and about 2 3/4" high.
Per Pelican, the same mirror fits the 911 '74 and up, 964, 993, 924, 944, 928 and 968, so it shouldn't be hard to...
