I've lurked on this site for a while and recently picked up a 944 Turbo of my own. Currently working through all the standard/preventative maintenance and re-doing the interior... first impressions, I love the car. It's quick enough, it's got personality and I definitely feel like I'm going back in time when I get behind the wheel. Looking forward to getting to know this community and learning from everyone that's "been there and done that".

Nice color! How do you compare the build quality to your 911?

e34nication

Thanks! The 911 is actually my brother's old car, he recently sold it and it stayed local. I would say the build quality is a little higher on the 911, but the 944 does feel very solid.

Thanks all... I really enjoyed the car while I had it over the weekend and now it's back getting the first wave of work finished up. Front of the engine has been resealed, timing/balance shaft/accessory belts replaced, high pressure p/s hose replaced and the questionable HID lights that were on the car are gone and replaced with factory headlights. The car is back for new control arm bushings, swaybar bushings, ball joint boots, fuel lines, center console replacement, leather steering wheel re-stitched and oem seats recovered. I'm trying to come up with a plan for the stereo because it's not very good... Also trying to do my research on the Rogue MAF setup (even though it seems to be unavailable.... hopefully it will be available again?). Any comments/experiences with this would be greatly appreciated.

The car's got an unknown chip in it (there are old invoices from Lindsey that came with the car, but no detailed info... pulling chip this week to check) and a turbo that was upgraded by Evergreen with a 360 thrust set and k27 compressor section.

Great looking 951 that sounds like she is in good hands! Enjoy!

Nice color for sure, and the wheels give it that "different" look from others.
Be sure to post more pictures when you get it back.

e34nication

Thank you and yes it is!

I will definitely post more pics when it's back in my hands. I like the wheels... subtle but still a pretty nice look and the 9" rears look good IMO. I've got some different size spacers on the way to test and try to get the fitment a little better as well as widen the track.

The car is getting close to coming home... On the alignment rack after the suspension refresh sans most of its interior. As soon as the seats, steering wheel, shift boot and arm rest are back from getting new leather it'll be ready for pick-up. Only other thing I'm waiting on is the Rogue MAF set-up and Lindsey doesn't seem to know when that order will be fulfilled.




Here are a few pics from when I first bought it (old owner kept the 18's)

Are you looking for the M tune or the M tune plus the new ECU?

e34nication

I've ordered the M tune (not including the new ECU) and got a call from Lindsey saying they're waiting on a couple of parts from Josh.... so yes, just the regular M tune package and a 3 BAR FPR.

Got it.Good luck with everything.You will love the car.
