Okay... now it just won't start. Cranks over like mad, but won't fire. Checked the plug wires, they are good and in the right order. All air intake hoses are brand spanking new and snugly installed. T ...

Hello again,

Here we go...

Okay, the first '79 is running now. I say "first" because as of Tuesday I just got another. It had been sitting for almost 4 years (in desert conditions, no less ...

A couple questions about the rear quarters... First, can the quarter panels be removed complete? If so, how (couldn't find anything in the Haynes manual or the FAQ)? Also, could the existing panels of ...

My bad.

Got in a rush and spaced it. Thanks for the help anyway, guys.

Hello again all. In the process of restoring my '79 924 and was wondering about a tranny swap. I have an '84 944 that I'm using for parts on my other resoration project and am thinking about using the ...

I'm 35. Bought my first Porsche on August 3rd, 2003 (I was 34 then) on Ebay and drove the 525 miles to pick it up on August 26th. Funny, I couldn't remember the ex-wife's birthday (Note the "ex") but ...

Honestly, Neil, I'm not sure... yet. I can have anything I want from the 944. The only thing damaged in the wreck was the frame as far as I can tell. The engine, drivetrain, tranny, etc. are in good s ...

Hello again everyone...

I have a '79 294 and am thinking of switching from drum to disk/5 bolt brakes. Can I get this upgrade from a 944? If so, are all years compatable? I have access to these an ...

This may be a stupid question but I'll go for it anyway. How do you prime the injectors? Just changed both pumps, filter and relay. Can't get it running again. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks Capt.

I'll check those places out this evening. Nick, thanks for the info on the 944 shocks. You're a life saver. I'll look for that post.
Thanks again, guys.

Hello all. New to the forum. Happy I joined. You guys are the authority on these cars. Here's the first of what is almost sure to be quite a few questions.... I have a 79 924. The hatch struts are jus ...
