I wanted to say hello and introduce myself to the forum. I just bought a 1990 944 S2 and my idea is turn it into a street legal track car.

I would love to start one of those fantastic project treads I’ve seen here but unfortunately I don’t have the time and space to work on it myself. The car is in a shop right know, next week they will wash it completely and put it on a lift to see what needs to be addressed.

I’ll probably need advice and you expertise and I’ll be happy to collaborate with whatever I can.

Cheers,
David

Thanks Michael,

Do you know where to buy a windshield? Mine is cracked

Also my driver side door handle is broken and I saw on ebay repair kits for $30, I don't know if those salvage yards on north sheppherd will have any 944 parts.

No Lag

Tell us some detail on your car!

Unsure about anywhere local, I generally buy parts online, although I know of an early 944 in a local junkyard (12575 Hiram Clarke Rd, Houston, TX 77045) if you need anything it may have. It has the door handles removed, the last time I was there they were in on the passenger seat but who knows.

Saw this guy today, kind of rare to see them around here. I have only seen one other 944 besides this in weeks.

Is a 1990 S2, about 130000 miles, but odometer broke at 112000. Is not an "M030" option car, mostly original other than the cone type air filter and a custom exhaust. Has 18" 993 wheels installed but I also have the original 16" D90s.

I forgot to write down all the options but I think the color is Diamant blau met, it has a re-spray on top of the original paint that does not look good but I haven't wash it or polished yet.

According to carfax always been in the Houston area, had 3 owners and no accidents. The last owner had it for 11 years but didn't take much care of the car on the last 5 years and stop driving it about a year ago, just park it outside on the driveway.

The interior is a complete mess, PO cover the dashboard with some suede and then ripped it off so you can see glue on top of the original blue dash.

I only drove it from the PO's house to the shop, about 10 miles and the engine, clutch, transmission and brakes all feel good, although I didn't go above 3000 RPM due to old oil.

I'm not driving it yet, I want to replace all belts and rollers and basic maintenance on the engine and I'll probably do a full upgrade on the suspension. The guys on my shop will give me an estimate soon.

I always wanted a 944 so I'm very excited about it.

Cheers,
David
