this is a repeat post; and, i am indeed posting it a second time such that it will decrease the chances that anyone out there would ever make the same mistake as effin' stupid me..... and remember to check all your fluids periodically.



driving to Atlanta last night, i discovered i had no heat.

so i thought to myself. Q; when was the last time you checked the coolant dumbass ? (A; 37 k miles ago when i did the belts, H20 pump, etc)... Q; HINT; notice the fans seem to come on quite often ? (A. yes) how really f ucking stupid can you be ? (A. is that a rhetorical question ?)....


i've filled the reservior twice.... about 1/3 gallon of coolant left in the bottle. i'll let you all know if i'm successful getting all the Porsche juice down the hatch before it doesn't want any more Porsche juice.

Could be worse, you could have forgotten the oil

Are we allowed to post **** on here now? Because I won't be getting any work done on the car if that's the case.

odurandina

no... not so fast.....


apparently you're not aware that i did indeed do just that on 31 October 1994 with the nine-four-four, one mile east of Junction, Tx nearly in the middle of nowhere. and after 99 K miles of utterly enjoyable 944 ownership experiences — it all ended there.

I was not aware of that

Sh*t happens

are any of you all following the three epic 993 vs Fugly 964 threads (two having since been closed off to further participation ?) may still be too close to call at this stage but it appears we've got a legendary thread now fully in the works on OT... for you "users," this might be the perfect opportunity to upgrade your membership and learn about 964s, ,sex lines, online prostitution, the S&L scandel of the late '80s, Porsche 993s, Michael Robert Milken disgraced New York Governor Elliot Spitzer, Seinfeld, Newt Gingrich, Fema camps and how they may or may not in fact, be tied together — on a single thread.... ,

Do you actually buy "Porsche" branded coolant?

odurandina

Peak green, full concentrate. it took exactly 2/3 gallon.

One time I lost about that much coolant on an 80-mile drive because of a small cut on the seal of my rad cap, so no worries...

Wow, quite legendary- and entertaining!

Glad I took the time to read them.

Back to topic I drove it to the office today still no real snow in SW MI

Attempted the H4 upgrade yesterday and going back to it today. Gotta love wiring without a diagram....

Installed clear turn signals i got from hooked on cars, They work great started pouring out so i will have to wait to install the side markers

I have a question for those of you that have done the stub nose, my one bumper shock is pushed in already, is it possible to drill the other while it is still installed or is it just better taking both sides off and using a drill press?

I also need a heatsheild that goes beside the cam that protects the fuel lines from the exhaust manifold

Drove it to the office, still no snow
Just trying this out, if your interested I started a thread called ash tray replacement.

Butters944

Did the infamous spring plate adjustment to lower its *** a bit. Those bolts were a bitch to loosen; had to use a breaker bar to the ground, and the weight of the car lowered onto it to break um loose, along with a ton of liquid wrench and an impact wrench. aye aye aye... After adjustment, according to my measurements it lowered the rear end a tad OVER an inch! I know that's not possible but that's what happened. LOL.

Here's how much the plate moved..


And the 'after' pictures (sorry it was dark and from my phone), you can compare with my signature for reference. I could feel the difference sitting in the car and really notice the looks of it even though I didn't expect much movement...

If Butters has done it then I HAVE to do this already. Not trying to be offensive or anything

Here's what I got done on my n/a. Finished the bumper/lights and mounted the spoiler. Slow but steady I guess
