Wow Karl! your parents bought you a 14' ST, and still no 944? Sell it and buy a 951 + 50 trim turbo + M-tune + tial and go poop on every ST you see on the road. Karl if you don't have a 944 in the next 3 months I'm publicly declaring my complete and total loss of faith in you.
I previously stated that my first goal was to get a more reliable DD to replace my Astra, then I would worry about getting a 944. Now that I have a new DD I can continue learn more and when I'm ready to go out and buy my own, I will.

Hey Karl! My close friend just bought a '14 ST! I can't wait to get a ride in it when I get home for spring break. He says it's a ton of fun.
My friend's is tuxedo black with matte black racing stripes, ST3 package, all options except moonroof

Mine is an ST1 package in performance blue. Wish I could've gotten the Recaros, but I'm very happy with the ST. I think you'll enjoy the ride. Ask if you can drive it! Steering is great, clutch is light and the acceleration is fantastic!

engine/transmission.... but, the 968 or 944 transmission might be a better choice.

Fran talks engines and body; mindboggling....

imo, the tail and nose will require some styling changes/refinement....
but what this thing delivers for under 80 grand..... is amazing,
and the people building and driving these cars [the world over] are raving.

I've been good, super busy with school this semester. Just took the 944 out to Wal-Mart, hadn't driven her in a week. Had some spirited fun
AS for the original thread topic, this spring break I plan on:
-FINALLY FIXING MY A/C!!!
-Completing my HID projector headlight retrofit, can't wait
If I knock those things out quick, I may be able to squeeze in a couple other projects before going back to school. Oh, I might spend some time with friends over break too

Karl, glad to see you still have in interest in the 944! 
Addressing the point of the thread, because I don't think I've posted on it yet...
- NA-Tune as soon as the tax return comes
- Reupholster my dash
- Reupholster these sport seats I've had sitting around
- VDO voltmeter
... and it'll be the sweetest NA ever

I'm now becoming more sympathetic to those who've opined over the years
with suggestions akin to the following;
"(od), you should just get a Vette."
you don't know the half of it,
at this stage, the best 944/968 might be a 2014 Corvette.
and the best cheap/(contemporary) Porsche, a V8 Cayman.
