Installed a bunch of stuff

 

Finally got my package from Paragon... damn UPS....took 11 days to get from Texas to SC....

 

Drove it..

 

watch your donkey. for some 944s, easier said than done.

 

Took some measurements for a new custom speaker box. One I already built doesn't have enough punch, although it doesn't interfere with the top when its dropped like the old one did (and mark the rear window)

Am I so old that no one remembers "passive radiators" used in speaker box designs? Went to a couple of stereo shops, and they said that they have never heard of them used in cars!?? wtf? I'm not that old damit!

Anyone remember old Kicker boxes?

 

I remember them, but if you would have used the term tuned port box, they would have known what you were talking about

 

I put the timing and balance shaft belts back on today. Spent about an hour looking for the crankshaft bolt washer that I dropped when putting the lower pulley back on... eventually found it, inside the fan shroud...

All that is left is to rotate the engine and verify tension of the belts...

 

I did my belts too,but I'm not sure about the lower balance shaft gear position.Do you,maybe,have some pictures of that?and are the 2 balance shaft gears the same?because I have some vibrations at 4000rpm.thank you

 

Yes, they are the same.

And yes, I too went through the gear position thing..LOL... I love Clarks Garage! Every bit of info I need (except some torque specs..)

Hope that helps.

What I did find is that the woodruff key is pointed up on both shafts when you install the gears with the timing marks oriented towards their requisite marks on the rear timing cover.

 

Yes indeed u are that old now.... it is the year 2020, 944's have become rare and worth 500k, robots have destroyed 80 percent of the human population, there's only fat chicks left and david hasselhauf's head is frozen in a jar.... so is his chest hair.

 

ASholtes thank you for your help,well ....I hope tomorrow it's gonna be a sunny day,to recheck those balance shaft gears,I hope that gonna fix that vibration otherwise...
thank you again

 

2020 and 500k for a 944 ...I hope you will be right abaut that.nice future for us. LOL

 

No problem... and I too hope that in 2020 our cars will be worth that much, seems like a good investment now if so

 

peeked at he through the garage window......just to make sure she was sleeping...

 

started it for the first time in at least a week...fired right up and ran beautifully.

i really want all this ice crap to leave so i can drive my damn car!
