Yeah, the annoying thing is how much 'small' stuff they either half-*** or simply forget.
Case-in-point, my PO used silicone sealant instead of an actual gasket for the oil cooler... lasted a few months, then I had oil & coolant mixing.
Or, this: the PO didn't bother to put back the anti-rattle springs on the rear-brakes... so yep, my brakes knocked and generally sounded like a bad CV axle when I'm <30mph.

On-and-on.

Reminds me of the 951 that my brother recently bought in West Texas. The PO (or PU or PA?) spent a TON of money on upgrades (M-Tune w/injectors, new exhaust, rear coil-overs, HUGE hollow-spoke twists plus 6 extra misc wheels, even a recent head gasket because an exhaust stud stripped out. Unfortunately, every other gasket and seal in the car leaked like a sieve, the idle valve was bypassed with a mess of hoses and seems to have a wiring harness issue, the wheel & tire combos don't fit right even with various spacer combos, the AF ratio is all jacked up (10:1) and nothing has helped yet, the sunroof doesn't stay down, and the radio wasn't even hooked up. There's more, but you get the idea.

Fortunately, the car was priced right and came with tons of spares, so he's money-ahead unless something major happens...

Sorry for the diversion / hi-jack

I received the 4° offset cam-keys from 928Motorsports!
So, the 944NA kit, the NA-Tune is finally ready, and I've updated the web-site to allow ordering!

Note, I have a few full kits on-hand for this first round. Even if you don't make the initial batch, there should be only ~2week delay until I am restocked.

Josh:
Congratulations.
8% increase over the entire RPM range and this for $ 500.
Definitely cost-efficient also for the more price sensitive out there.

Thanks! I think that the couple of easy things I've done to my 944NA have really changed the car, and for the (much) better!

I'm sure you can find another 944 to pick-up

I've got a late DME heading your way. Will process payment when it's confirmed received in good condition.
