It is actually a U.S. vehicle but has been in Calgary since the early 1990's.

U.S. 944 that was imported to Canada in the early 1990's. Glacier Blue Metallic on Linen. Has about 83,000 miles on the odometer. Upgrades are as follows:

Vitesse chip, 3Bar fuel pressure regulator, TiAL 38mm wastegate, stainless cat by-pass pipe, Lindsey Racing ultimate transmission mount, short shift kit and baffled oil pan. Lowered and aligned factory M030 Koni suspension, 968 M030 adjustable sway bars, Brey Krause front strut brace, slotted brake rotors. H4 headlights.

I plan on doing a full 3" exhaust, Vitesse MAF and will soon have a K27 installed.

The 944 is definitely more the "sports" car where the 300ZX TT is more akin to the 928 IMO. The Z32 TT is a great car and like the 944 Turbo gets even better with simple, quality upgrades.
