That was my second guess! You don't see a lot of Baltic S4's out there! Very nice and that Linen interior looks pristine! VERY NICE! Wish my '88 Linen interior (carpets mostly) look even close to that good!

Welcome Emerald! Very nice car. There is an excellent and knowledgeable 928 service center up here in Phoenix, Dan Warner's Exotic Motorwerks. I have not used him or his services as yet (I'm relatively new to AZ) but he is highly regarded.

There are other 928 owners in Tucson area.

+928 on Dan Warner and Exotic Motorwerks!

He's one of the best 928 technicians in the southwest. I know you're just outside of Tucson Emerald, but Dan is worth the trip up to Phoenix.

I will have to take it up for a drive and chat with him. Thanks for the heads up. Chuck here in Tucson does not want to do any major work on the engine, so now it sounds like I have an option... groovy.

Thank you gents. I love the way it/they look. I am going to try and find a 5th one and change up the spare possible. Not sure yet. I have seen a couple real nice set ups where the spare is visible inlaid into the rear... probably wont though... rather have a supercharge

Nice looking car you have and welcome to the shark tank.

FWIW I dont think you will be able to fit a 5th wheel into the well only the factory spare will fit

I assumed that was the case... had only seen it and thought it looked nice when I did...

Great, thank you sir....

Got my alignment fixed yesterday after my 6500 mi trip, 10 states 10 days tour with the kids. Towed that teardrop like a champ... nice having a ready to go bed when on the road.

I did discover a new coolant leak (very, very small) where it left a drip on the oil pan and I think I see where it came from... I will start a new thread and add pictures after I finish going through the old threads. I have not seen anything that is similar to my issue yet... but I will keep reading.

Welcome.
Did you resolve the A/C problem? Jumper the low pressure switch, if compressor comes on, it's low pressure; if no power at LP switch, work back to freeze switch. If there is no power to the freeze switch (on firewall) it may be the relay in the control unit in dash. Search is your friend. There are threads on R@R the relay with a better one. Porsche did not design well here.

Gets fixed Monday. The compressor seized and blew junk everywhere. I picked up a compressor from 928 International and I will be blowing cold by COB Monday.

I might swap out that switch later just to do it now that you mentioned the issue. I plan on going though the electrical at some point when I have time. Need to kill that low end wine from the stereo that I know is a grounding issue.

Will add a few later. Kids had a blast. My oldest daughter comes in on Monday so after all the kids head back to their mom's, I will get some shots up (after I clean the house and other related items )
