drift a 944

Early 1985 model, came with hub adaptors, some chromed out DUBS!!! full S2 black carpet which is really nice, slotted rear valence, brand new MSD ignition wires, coil, and J-boot... spares include hood, radiator, late steering wheel, front calipers, radiator, and boxes of extra small parts.
2 main problems include.... The car has a super slow crank start... I'm not sure why, all grounds are tight, battery is from my 951 which cranks fast and holds charge very well. Could the starter be going out?
Also, the car will not fire up unless you use starting fluid. I tested the fuel pump, works perfect, fuel filter is new, rail has pressure. Maybe the injectors aren't firing?
Picked up the car for $1500, not sure what I'll do with it for now.
Anyways, here are some pics to LOL at!








First thing I had to do of course is throw my black phone dial "spares" on there! Sorry for the night time phone pics

Sell the wheels and recoup half your cost.

in all honesty the wheels aren't as bad as the seat covers. I had chrome wheels on my 944 once...but that's because they were chrome club sports, and those wheels aren't cheap...unless you get ugly chrome ones.

Oh and by the way the schweet roof panel you see featured in that picture is for sale.

Shameless plug.

Already have the wheels removed and plan on putting them on craigslist tomorrow!

The starter my be gummed up.
I'm sure there are threads about it.
Remove and clean.

Kem, I think all around they are 18x8, and they weight probably TWICE as much as my 15x8 fuchs. I think the adaptors are 5x112mm bolt pattern but I need to measure and find out for sure. So these must be aftermarket for a mercedes or newer VW or something.

Ah, it's one of my roommate's cars. I hate it I hate it I hate it. But here's a pic anyway.

***DISCLAIMER! I DO NOT OWN THIS CIVIC NOR DO I ENJOY SEEING IT DEAD IN MY DRIVEWAY EVERY DAY!!! Same goes with the dead 300zx in our backyard.
But the 3 944's, 1 924, 1 FCRX7, and 1 Starion, all make up for it.

I'm sure you will soon!!

The thing is... they match the character of the econo-candy paint job. Cheap and flashy but eye catching. But honestly they have to go. I'll try to find some other strange wheels to use with the wheel adapters.

ritzblitz

what bolt pattern are the adapters?

Good grief, Elliott!
