The first five years I put it away for the winter I would wash it, change the oil, put stable in a full fuel tank, pull the battery, add 5psi to the tires and put a cover on it.

The last 4 years I...

I think a 944 S3 (NA body with 968 drivetrain and brakes) would be ideal. I'd like to drive a v8 conversion sometime though. I need more time and money before I consider either of those seriously....

Thanks, Guys.

Rick that wasn't me. I've had my wife twice as long as the 944 (and I'm keeping her!) but that sounds like a cool picture.

Tifo - love the stories. Great way to make a point.

So Long and thanks for all the Fish

+1 on the weedeater line.

The right rear sunroof drain line has a T in it so the gas filler drain line feeds into it. I had to pull up the hatch liner to get at a sunroof screw that had gone down...

I think the first step is to redo the solder joints. I didn't trust my solder skills so I took it to a TV shop and they did them all for $25. The owner said that on visual inspection, they looked...

Nice work. Regarding the speakers, if anyone knows of modern 4x6's that will fit in the doors with the stock grills, please post it here. It's a challenging fit because they can't be too deep and...

I used some Scotch double-sided out door adhesive to attach my mirror glass back into the mirror and it's been great. It was like tape, except between the adhesives was a thin, foam-like layer. ...

Can you mount the tires yourself or will you have a shop do it? I'm interested to see if they are careful enough not to mess up all your work. Very nice job. Is it for the red car, or another...

I watched this last night and noticed the 944. I saw that it had a radio antenna on the front fender, marking it as an early 944. Later on the coroner refers to it as an '87 Porsche. Nope, too...

I'm glad you at least got to pass that guy before you got called in. I was getting annoyed just watching the video that you had to slow down for him in the twisties.

I called Crutchfield, and they told me they had nothing for my car. Referred me to Porsche!

Clark's garage recommended Alpine SXE-4625s. Sound good, fit with no mods. Can only find them in UK. ...

Hmmm. Hot day in Milwaukee, A/C is blowing cold, but I can hear the fan slowing down and then speeding back up at random, or at least not related to speed of the engine or anything I can tell.

Need Speaker Recommendation and Have Motor Mount Comment

First of all, I had my collapsed motor mounts replaced and it makes a world of difference. The car is much quieter now, which unfortunately highlights how terrible the old speakers sound.

Hmmm...I wonder if my clutch has been replaced?

My 86 944na has about 135,000 miles. I got it with 109,000.

I never found a record of the clutch being replaced so I assumed I was living on borrowed time with the old rubber dampened clutch.

My Dad had a 1980 Avanti II, hand built by the old guys who had built the original in the old Studebaker plant. Studebaker probably had more automation when they built them in the 60s.
