very nice looking grey cab. i wonder how you will feel it compares to the boxster.

haven't had to do any adjustments for seals, but i'm sure mine are getting old. i would take them in small increments as the last time i adjusted my top i went too far and got it out of alignment which ultimately ended in a broken bow once i connected it back to the motors. *facepalm*

nice red cab. clean and pristine.

hopefully with the new additions and the weather changing, we'll get some steady posts on this thread. with azbanks gone, its slowed down quite a bit.

Here's mine, not the best pic, its in for full service and belts so waiting for it to come back to get better ones

And this is what they have found so far - snapped balance belt and the chain is very stretched!!!

And the engine now :

how many miles? and how long ago did you do your belts?


great color too.

AcC8braman

Currently 141000 Miles.
Belts done 13300 Mile - 7 years ago by prev.

Only had it about 1 month and done 600 miles.

The indy said by the looks of the belt it's in good nick some must have snapped very early on - the way the smooth roller was fitted would have worn the teeth away, as they are not, it might have been over tensioned.

That chain looks scary! The other bad thing about the tensioner being that high is the pad can in theory slide off. It also looks like a good amount of varnish.

So glad its being replaced - Very Lucky Man I am not having to rebuild or buy a new engine!!!

finally got her out from winter slumber.

Changed the front gas lines with some new teflon ones I got from Lart. Did an oil oil change and somehow managed to pinch a hole in the coolant line between the heater valve and the water pump with my oil filter wrench so changed that and bled the system. Good thing I have some random spare parts lying around from my motor rebuild as I had a spare used OEM hose. I'll probably source a new one and change it in the future.

Drove her roof down in the sun. LOVE IT!

Havent touched the seals or rubbers yet but did purchase a water proof cover so she will be protected for now.

Thanks culture - The Boxster is an S, so it beats the 944 S2 on power and torque. However there are points on the power curve where you 'feel' it more in the 944 S2. I love both cars, the handling is the absolute bright spot for both. I am surprised as car as big as the 944 handles so beautifully. I was up in the hills yesterday and feeling the back end swing around in perfect balance around some 15 mile an hour corners was a blast!

New tires and an alignment.

And a nice little shakedown drive. 👍🏻

toying with the idea of switching up/modernizing the look a bit.

considering going from this



to something like this



i love the deep dish of my wheels, but i've become a fan of concave wheels. i photoshopped the wheels to be as exact as possible size-wise. never going over 18". i wouldn't sell what i have, just an additional pair of shoes to keep the car new to me.

I was about ready to strongly protest, until i saw the next photo lol. I've said your wheels are my favorite, but the other set looks really nice too. The shaved parking lights looks go great too.
