So I am finally back to working on the junked out 924. While pulling parts today I noticed the parts car has a large single plate TB on it.

My 924 has a dual plate (same as a vw rabbit of the era) ...

the topic says it all.

A friend pulled the starter for me and now I have no clue which is the positive lug... or well, where any of the wires go.

My manual doesn't make it clear. and any marki ...

THANK YOU!

After all the uninformative posts on a VW board finally a clear reply with a reason. I think I may have located a decent bottom end for $50 anyway. too bad I'm broke as can be.

Hey forget the bashing, making the 924 an economy car isn't such a bad idea. It's not like they are very fast to begin with. And in defence of the VW diesel blocks, they CAN be built, have tons of tu ...

I have been tinkering with the idea of putting my good porsche head onto a 1.6 or 1.8l VW bottom end, the 1.8l is from a 1988 vw fox (aka polo lupo) and came with a hydraulic lifter head.

The 1.6l ...

Thanks for all the info. I did find the crank bearing thread here on 924 board after you mentioned that. Perhaps a better option would be to source a 2.0l VW crank from another model, hopefully to mak ...

Bummer. I guess it would be a good move to trade it for something more useful to me right now....or to just sit on it until I move in spring and can sort it out.

Are they really that rare? I was ...

Hey, I hope this isn't misposted I did not think it belonged in the classifieds.

I am wanting some help in pricing for my car.

Regarding the hood sticker:

I have no clue, I couldn't find one anywhere for when I start restoring the paint, this one is going to have to come off to get it looking cherry again.

So far as ...

oh, lol, yes that was indeed a typo. and I did mean a 924.

The reason I asked is my door tags say 76 and I have just been assuming it was made that year, and imported in 77.

The registration i ...

hrm, I have read otherwise.

From what I understand, not only is the K-jet tronic identical (in all but configuration) to a like yeared vw van, it's the bottom end and the same block as most VW va ...

sadly that picture is random, so none of us see the exact same image unless we are all here at the same time...and even then it may not be the same one. The fact that it's a red porsche doesn't help, ...

weren't most of the early lotus low cost kits based on ford escort engines and transmissions?.....

Yuck! lol.

Awesome pics, I want to get to a car show sometime soon! Last time I tried to make ...

This is typical VW behavior.

First be sure your injectors are clean, plugs are clean, and you are getting proper spark as suggested above. Check your control pressure regulator for proper operatio ...

The title says it all,

There was only one 66 originally imported to the U.S with us emissions..... anyone know where it is?
