The results are as follows. In cylinder 1,2,3, and 4 it was: 8%,10%,9%,9%. Does that sound about average? Does that man something could possibly go wrong soon and leak more? I dont really know what to think of it. Car is stock and has 145k miles.

Ben,

I have also seen a red na around town just the other day. That silver one you speak of, I think it lives kinda by 13th and Stang. The red 924 also lives there. That silver one is crashed in the right rear 1//4 panel though. (If we're talking about the same one?)

They should have given you an idea where the leakage was too. If rings, it's probably not bad. If valves, that's a problem I would think.

At least it's consistent.

Default picked it up tonight

Ended up paying 7300. Now when I was driving home, I noticed I couldnt work the brights. They work like when I flash them, but i cant find the switch that makes them stay on? How do you do it? LOL, man it's a dumb question but I need to know.

Default Yeah

Yep, this is my first porsche. I recently had a 1992 turbocharged honda prelude, but it came to an unfortunate end. (I guess friends dont let friends drive modded cars...? Anymore at least.) That was totaled, and no i got this and tomorrow we might get snow. It's looking like il lhave it for an ENTIRE day before putting it away. LOL

Well down here we don't have to put them away. Sometimes we have to put them up on blocks to keep em out of the water, but the upside is days like today with blue skies, breeze and 80F. Perfect p-car weather. Hope you get to enjoy yours this spring.
