I figured out the C clip on the rear shift coupler is the reason 4th and reverse were gone in the 87. I guess it must have taken a pretty good jarring to move it out of place. Now to fix the slave cylinder so my kids do not have to try to force it in gear. The clutch bleeds off it it sits for a few days.

 

I got the block in mercedes shop for timeserting, resurfacing for mls head gasket.

 

Found out 500 degrees isn't a hot enough paint to spray on your headers. Going to 2000 degrees. Live and learn.

 

Autocross on Sunday, April 10.



ignore the chicken legs over the quarter panel :-)

 

im assuming thats a PCA or local Porsche club event? im usually the only P-car at autocrosses... even in VA

 

Just know it isn't meant to be a show car. This is a temporary fix
















Still got some work to do, but overall I'm happy with it

The autocross here is a local Porsche club (war bonnet region) monthly event. It is open to all, but we charge just a little bit more for non members.

I think there were about 12 Porsche and 20 others.

The fastest time around the coarse was 89 sec (911 turbo). My fastest was 102.

 

Drilled out my sloppy shift rod and fitted 924 bushings. Now it's tighter than a virgin on roller skates, so of course I proceeded to drive the heck out of it for a good hour on some twisties outside of town!

 

How about what someone else did for my 944 today...

 

Wow. Like new.. This is repaint, or just cleaning?

 

very nice

 

That is a complete professional refinish.

 

I cleaned up the old girl ready for sale


and I fitted a NOS genuine car cover

Gotta love Ebay for getting new old stock

 

Addressed a couple coolant weeps from the head install back in January..

And finished the transformation of these:
