When repainting the car we decided to use a special blend that was slightly darker than the previous silver.

I hope you can make use of that blown S2 tranny. A person at the swap meet gave me the name of a guy in Merced that rebuilds 944 transmissions as a side hobby. If you want his contact info let me know.
It was fun meeting you too, the short shifter works awesome, and i believe we are going to rebuild our other s2 tranny with this one so it all works out.

Glad you enjoy the quick shift. It is a nice feel, I have adjusted back to long throw for now. Good luck with the tranny rebuild too.

Very nicely done... I still have my CPR wing sitting up at my body shop waiting for me to decide whether to do it or not (and if I should paint the wing portion body color or go all flat black).

Beautiful car.

yes. the 968 engine management ranges somewhere in between solid and bulletproof.

You don't get it because you likely haven't driven it. A 968 engine mated to a 5-speed 944 trans is a hellava car. Incredibly quick. Tons of torque. More than just "28 hp."

Just my input from my 944s3.com days...

I think a 924s with a properly built 2.7 and 6 speed > 3.0 944/5speed but I've not experienced either. But I do have all the parts....
