I finally pulled the trigger to carbon overlay my wing. The original concept was to do it, get everyone involved to sign the wing, then first coat. But that kinda fell apart. I'm just trying to avoid creators block as in genuinely stuck on how to do the taillights.

What is the correct torque? My Haynes manual says 80, pelican parts says 75+5 and I'm seeing straight 75 other places online. Can anybody clear this up for me?

My climate control Bottom lever isnt going into the Hot part only stays in the middle/cold and it feels jammed when i try to pull it to the right/heat

Hi all, need some help. Just re installed the intake manifold and was hooking all the wiring up and now there is a plug that doesn’t seem to go anywhere. I’m losing my mind trying to figure out where it plugs in. Does anyone have any insight?

I have been dealing with cam tower gaskets blowing out, including the foam covered LR aluminum one. I took a close look at both surfaces and the head side looks to have a few burrs and scratches on the edge that need to be taken down. Is a foam block with sandpaper the safest way for me to knock these down? I really don’t want to remove this head and take it to a machine shop as it is very costly. I have a replacement paper gasket to put on it so if I need to use a sealant please let me know.

A few shots from a farm stand yesterday morning. I wish I had my Fuji, but this is just from my phone. Still vibes.

I have always loved the euro front bumper but am sadly priced out as used examples sell for 1.5k plus in America. I know people take off the front pads and go with a “shaved” look but has anyone here tried cutting into the bumper and fitting fog lights? It seems like it would be doable in my head but would love some opinions.

Where is the best place you'd say to find a 944? Reddit? Facebook Marketplace?

Hello everyone, I am in the market for a car cover for my 86 na and I am just wondering if anyone has some recommendations. My budget is about 200 bucks and it needs to be waterproof/ good for snow. My 944 has to sit outside sometimes for a few days as a different car must occupy that space.

Hi, I have a 1988 non AC 944 but the clear plastic on the heater control is cracked so it doesn't sit flush and for some other reasons as well, I would like to replace it. I found a part online, but it is from a car with AC, my question is can I install this part, knowing that the AC button is nonfunc, and will the rest of the buttons work, or is it the case that the whole thing won't work at all.

My heater control is like this one:

https://rareporscheparts.co.uk/products/porsche-944-climate-heater-control-switch-85-5-91-years-944-653-021-02-94465302102?srsltid=AU7gw4W8jHQg8nlYdFIAQwETY2Xbi4l0igcogJjYpAeD4iQMPfptKYUf

So it's a 944.653.021.02 (I think)

The part I want to install is 944.653.021.01 but with the AC buttons.

Here is a pic of mine included incase I got the part number wrong.

(Please ignore the missing buttons I'm getting to it)

I'm new to working on cars and the thought of having every hose I need appeals to me more than trying to make my own, but the 944Online one is like $260.

Bought hatch struts off ebay and theres oil on the outside of the struts in and on the packaging. It's not a lot and sent seller a question but won't get a responce til overnight, so I'd thought I'd ask here. I've purchased them before but don't remember those arriving in that condition. Is this just for anti-corrosion purposes or are they leaking?

Can I just grind it down and patch it easily?

Not a 944 but close, picked up an 87 924S project over the weekend. Previous owner said he got it running over the summer but has a knock. I’ve been researching the last few days (lots of great posts in here) and sounds like lifter tick is pretty common on these especially after sitting but may eventually go away?

I’d like to hear it myself but want to be cautious so I’m curious any start up tips? I’m sure the timing belt needs done. Do I do a visual inspection first to make sure its not REALLY bad? I’d just like to try and narrow down a major issue before we do all the normal maintenance needed only to find out it wasn’t worth it. Would it be ok to start it, let it warm up, shut it down to cool off and repeat a handful of times and see how the tick sounds?

Thanks! This is a project to work on with my son and he’s excited to dig in.

I'm in the market for a manual S2 Coupe. Condition and history (ownership, maintenance / service) are more important to me than options.

If anyone has something suitable they'd consider selling, please let me know. Although I'm in SE England, I'm happy to travel within the UK for the right car.

I'm familiar with the 944s currently on the UK open market, but most are either convertible, tiptronic, not S2s, overly modified, too far away, or have skeletons in their closets.

Note: I might consider a good late (1989+) model 951 / Turbo, but would prefer an S2 due to mechanical simplicity, parts availability etc

EDIT: Added manual gearbox requirement
EDIT: Willing to travel

Hey, my neighbour has his 944 for sale. He’s only had it for a year, and according to him, he only drove it 500 km within that year. It had 328,000km total.

I’m wondering what you guys think about the price and the future of the vehicle. I have driven manual before and am interested in it because of that and the 50/50 weight distribution.

Give me some advice and let me know what you think.

Interior is very clean, its been reupholstered recently by previous owner. Exterior is what you would expect for a 300k+ vehicle but well kept.

Let me know you guys think. Needs new tires and some random small things but from what I could tell nothing major from driving it. Had a exhaust leak or its running really RICH.

Neighbor has it listed for $8k CAD. Don’t have exterior photos

Let me know what you guys think

Currently installing a wideband, and I'm not sure how to run the cable. It's installed just across from my wastegate. My gauge is just below my head unit. I thought about going up through the shifter, but open to ideas!

I recently posted about the Eckel roof rack that i bought in the original box, this box also contained the manual. As i don’t know if anybody had posted this online ever i thought you guys might appreciate the original manual being available. Have a nice weekend!

Hey guys,

I’ve got some smoke coming up when I’m at full throttle I believe it’s smoke burning on the exhaust. I cleaned the engine and drove for a bit to try seeing where is the leak coming from. And it seems that it’s on the passenger side of the engine near the balancing shaft. I can really say what could be leaking based on the pictures. Does any of you have ideas ?

Many thanks

First off I’m a pro mechanic with lots of bmw experience. This 944 is new to me. I’m about to replace the timing belt so I’m lining marks up. I SWEAR the flywheel isn’t perfectly lined up with the line, while the cam gear is.

It runs excellent. Possible to be a tooth off and still run well??

Thanks friends?

How does this look for play in my throttle cable? 1991 944S2.

Hey yall i recently bought a motive pressure to bleed my 944 clutch hydraulics and it’s slowly loosing pressure, id say like 5 psi in 1-2 minutes, this is when I did a dry test before bleeding, I’m just wondering what could be causing this leak, and how I should go about this bleeding cause it’s quite the big issue for me

I've had just about all the P models, one I missed when I sold it was a $1500 base 944 I beat up for some months.

This 80k mile S2 kind of dropped into my lap, had to jump on it. A short list of smallish stuff to do, I'm sure I'll have some questions! Here she is
