Mitch.W Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I hope you still have the Meisters kicking around from your old one? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 Sold the Meisters when I sold the old car, all went into the home fund. This likely won't be modified, I'm just more interested in getting it mint and driving it. It's so good in stock form, does everything I could want it too. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibirdman Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 The orange stripes down the sides were totally period correct. The one across the windscreen not so much and really did look crap. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Track day plans I hope? Peeling off old stickers is very satisfying. It's chalk and cheese. This one actually manages to get out of it's own way! Probably not too many track plans in the near future, I need to get a few maintenance items up to spec and tidy up a few things, as is the way.

The ITR are much sharper, urgent feeling cars to drive, especially on the limit. The 944 however is a much more accomplished long distance car - quiet, comfortable, and handles and goes well enough ot have a bit of a giggle when it gets twisty.

Popular Post Snoozin Posted August 20, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2017 This weekend, @Alistair bowled around and helped me with a lush polishing effort on the painted surfaces of the 944. Here's a few shots of the result, taken under some neat skies on Sunday evening. 1991 Porsche 944 S2-179-Edit by Richard Opie, on Flickr 1991 Porsche 944 S2-96-Edit by Richard Opie, on Flickr 1991 Porsche 944 S2-172-Edit by Richard Opie, on Flickr 1991 Porsche 944 S2-141-Edit by Richard Opie, on Flickr 1991 Porsche 944 S2-170-Edit by Richard Opie, on Flickr Some of the S2 differences: 1991 Porsche 944 S2-129 by Richard Opie, on Flickr Turbo nosecone, a big upgrade over the old 924-style front my 8v car had on it. 1991 Porsche 944 S2-92-Edit by Richard Opie, on Flickr "Bridge" spoiler in place of the squishy rubber ducktail thing, and the under spoiler/bum flap thing. 1991 Porsche 944 S2-47 by Richard Opie, on Flickr 1991 Porsche 944 S2-106 by Richard Opie, on Flickr 16x7 and 8" "Design 90" wheels and Brembo 4-pot clappers on 300mm rotors at either end. 1991 Porsche 944 S2-116 by Richard Opie, on Flickr 1991 Porsche 944 S2-119 by Richard Opie, on Flickr 3-litre 16 valve 4-banger engine.

Popular Post Snoozin Posted August 27, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 27, 2017 So I was dressing all the exterior black trim with the great Kleers product, and anyway I noticed the front bumper undertray/lining thing at the bottom is missing the whole right hand corner. So I ordered an AIR front splitter to replace it all, it looks like the one on this car: It's being freight forwarded to me - so I should see it in 3 or 4 weeks I guess. Obviously the nostril things are a big no-no. Anyway. Other things I have been doing to get this car up to scratch: - replaced broken fog light trim pieces on RHS - replaced sill/pillar vent on LHS - replaced previous owner hokey-mod door lock pull (they have an LED in them that blinks when the factory immobiliser is active and obviously someone in the past didn't want to shell out for a new OEM one) - regassed boot and bonnet struts. Win. - today I pulled apart all of the leccy window switches, cleaned the contacts and repaired some dodgy solder joints. Now all of my window switches are functional and I can raise/lower the passenger window. Have stuff on order including new blinker lenses, air filter, oil filters, new OEM key head thing, clutch hydraulic parts as mine are iffy, fuck, heaps more stuff from Pelican Parts I have all but forgotten about. Have some wheels on the horizon already even though I said I wouldn't but hey look when life gives you lemons (wheels) you made lemonade (rad looking cars). The end. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB8-TypeR Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 What about steering wheel? Im sure the OEM one feels nice enough but jesus they are ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 It has SRS air bags doesn't it? so not too much can probably be done about the steering wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Snoozin Posted February 12, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2018 Bought some wheels from Japan, where everything great comes from. 1991 Porsche 944 S2-424 by Richard Opie, on Flickr 17x8 and 17x9 OZ Cronos, super '90s style and they're in magical condition. Have been spending lots of money on maintenance and fixing a few things that have broken. So far; - clutch master cylinder - clutch slave cylinder - new glovebox stays - new window switches - new fog light trims - new blinker lenses - K&N filter - new radiator and hoses - new badge seal thing - new hatch lock seal - new battery - regassed bonnet and hatch struts - currently in the midst of cambelt, water pump, all front seals, cam chain, balance shaft belts, idlers/rollers, thermostat, cam chain tensioner etc etc etc all that junk. TL;DR - this isn't finishing the KP. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
