Finally got the 944 after ive been drooling over my friends. Maybe some of you know him Fty9999. Anyway its an 86 944 silver, had two dings on the passenger side panels and needed new paint, 110k on an automatic tranny. Picked it up for $1500 and sent it to the body shop. Should look fanastic when done. That said there are a few things i was looking for , turbo twist wheels pref used, or pending on how much the body work and paint run maybe new. Where should i look? Also is there a wiring harness kit or am i gonna have to do wire to wire? Thanx for any info.

 

First, weclome, and congrats.

What wires need to be replaced?

 

Welcome aboard and congratulations. You have come to the right place for all things 944. You'll find this the best forum anywhere. May the rennlist force be with you

 

I think he's talking about the radio wires, but I'm not sure.

As far as I know, there isn't an adapter for 944s, but could be wrong. I know Crutchfield doesn't have them.

 

Welcome-where are you from? Sounds like you got a good deal on the car. Make sure the timing belt and water pump have been changed and tensioned (the belt not the pump) within a reasonable amount of time. I will also ask-which wires?

 

Thanx, yea I'm talking about the radio wires there was a ****ty deck in there so i ripped it out and want to throw my sweet pioneer in...guess its gonna get done the old fashioned way. Yea maineiac the guy i bought from did the belts and pump, he's a porshe fanatic he sold this to keep his newly purchased 968. I'm from LI, NY. I do need a lower radiator hose, sunroof weather strip and possibly a resivoir that holds p/s fluid. Good to be here

 

if you need help wrenching or a tool or something i'm on li too. just pm if you need some help with a project. congrats on the new purchase

Beaware that you'll have to help the roof go down the first 3-4 months when installing a new weatherstrip. Leaving the car in the sun for a few hours is supposed to help. The rest I would pick up at Paragon or your local dealer.

Welcome to my addiction.

 

JJ and dualblade, where on LI are you guys? Maybe we can go for a drive sometime. :-)

JJ, welcome to the forum!

 

If you want to see JJ's car its on the website in the projects section. As is mine getting ready for a new front TURBO bumper. the body shop is rippin his whole car down and I'll prolly get some more pictures this week. if you LI guys ever want to go on a cruise just email on the website, ill be more than happy to host your pics and put you in some movies...just let either I or Jamie know-chris

 

Welcome! <img border="0" alt="[thumbsup]" title="" src="graemlins/bigok.gif" />
My partner's brother just swapped my Pioneer from my n/a to the turbo the weekend B4 last. I don't know of a harness, but he used trailer connectors once he figured where the wires went. Will make it a lot easier for swaps/upgrades. Costs a coupla bucks at WalMart. HTH.

 

Thanx yea ivw been to vertex and ordered all the strips. I'm in elmont,nassau but still go out to suffolk to chill with fty999 so a drivfe would be cool, last fall we went to montauk and cedar point, also did a city trip at like 3 am was very cool. where are u at on LI silver and dual? Hey Michelle you may remember me I called about your 944. Thanx for all

 

HEY JJ, I'm in Woodmere, in Nassau.
