LOL, Lucas electrics and SU carburetors where the best thing that happened in the automotive world by contributing to the decline of the British car industry. I am sure if British Leyland were still going they would be designing ECU's with valves and relays.

i saw a bunch of vintage cars drive by today in Fort Pierce..... and one of them was this chopped roadster thing with the side panels on the engine bay off and a Chevy small block just doing it's thing in the open air.... nice ceramic headers. thing was spotless. he ran along side me for a mile or so in traffic heading toward the intercoastal.... someone had the ignition and wires mounted in about an hour.
i didn't do my belts today. i know better. but i also disagree with the 99%. i think it's more like 90~95%.
with the other part falling under the "there's no perfect Porsche" category.

You guys can hate me all you want, I don't care. You're just some random people out there on the internet that I'll never see in my life.
None taken.
I would never leave my car to rot after getting fed up with it. I'd just pass the problem onto someone else and laugh at their pain and suffering.
this is also a man's site, and i can be obnoxious. but, i don't mean any harm.
i know for a fact that 944s have been set aside and eventually abandoned due to unresolved no starts. this pisses me off to no end

to be clear, i mean silent disgust with our car's electrical/alarms and how they're bundled.
you ever notice that certain parts of our carpets get really moist (or worse) after a good rain ?
that's where the alarms are located.

Just a shout out for ECU Doctors. They were extremely ethical with me, and did great work on my DME and KLR. I was convinced my KLR had a problem and practically had to beg them to take my money. They asked me a million questions on the phone and were worried I'd spend the $350 or whatever and not fix my problem. Sorry Chunkerz about your mix up with them, but my experience strongly suggests you had an honest miscommunication.

I'm still suspicious of the zappos charge I got after I spoke to them on the phone. Hopefully my bank can track that bastard down and bring them to my doorstep so I can make them beg for mercy as I pull their intestines out their mouth.

IF I ever get another 944, I'm going to make sure I buy one that's 110% sorted out. I never want to go through this again...
Yeah, it was my fault, not theirs. They were very polite on the phone and when I asked them why they fixed it without asking they told me the exact same thing you guys said: i didn't tell them not to fix it.

Eh my turbo has been down since July of 2011 and even as I see the light at the end of the tunnel it fights me.
I mean these are 22+ yr old german sports cars based on a car designed in the mid 70's, you are bound to run into problems.

Yes, and in my opinion, well worth it all when they are on and running.

I had that bug at one point with my VW. The only cure is to have something expensive break so spend your money on that instead. It says that you're in MD, like me, so give me a call and I'll stop by and break something for you to cure your disease.
