Default Can you call it a comeback

Since 2006 i haven't driven my first, my last, my only 944

I bought this car in 2002 and this car has always had a special place in my heart

It started life as a Usa spec 2.5 N/A

I repainted it, drove it, had fun in it untill 2006 when i parked it to start rebuilding it...

That didn't last long as in 2007 i bought a 964. then i bought a supercharger, then i bougth a 928 strosek and then i bought x2 s2 but now.. i cleared things up abit and only own my white 944, my low 924turbo and my SC964

Many may remember some donuts drift something videos from me back in the days.

Since then i've learned alot, about cars, about driving, about everything

But here, i present my 2.8 liter stroked steel sleeved 2.7 motor
1.4 bar

Here's my first drive in 8 years in my first love





















And ofcourse a small video

Yeah, I'd call that a comeback...nicely done!

Appears you're sitting a little on the low side...I imagine you drag you rockers on a regular basis. Looks good, though. What dampers/sways are you running.

BTW, are you planning to post any photos of the business end...with the hood up?

Love it! What happened to that orange 951 you had? I loved the video of you running a small drift circuit in that.

Welcome back!

I used to save all the pics in your old posts, amazing cars, you always manage a "clean" look with some great colors and graphics.

Car looks great, like always.

Do you have any plans for the red 931?
What happend to that (blue?) 931 you had/drove many years ago?

I still have all the videos i could find at that time with the white 944, the 931 and the red 951.

Awesome.
Have you done anything with the steering rack/spindle(knuckle) to aid in control during the slide?
