Sweet! I love the ROW sidemarker. Does it also have driving lights in addition to fog lights?

I know the ROW is different than the US model, im curious as to how different. As I said before, im just entering the porsche world and although i know the basics and know the minor differences between the ROW and the US models, what are the actual performance differences and specifications?

jbrill: Very nice car.

Regarding US vs. ROW cars - the differences are minor. Two of them already mentioned: side marker light and both driving and fog lights. I believe you may also have a rear tailight fog light (Only on the left side tail light assembly would have this).

There may be some engine management differences. Does your car have dual airbags? (All US-Spec 944S2's had dual front airbags). I'll try to dig up some more info.

How many miles on the car? If it's around 100,000 miles (forgot how many KM's that is), the cam chain guide / tensioner MUST be replaced ASAP.

Good luck with it!

Asap! The s2 belts are know to be horrible, the teeth strip out easily. I would do it now if there is no history of it being done lately or at all.

Nice S2 Welcome to Rennlist. 40,000KM thats coming up on the belt change interval. If it hasn't been done within the last 5 years I would get those done as well.
