Under the front bumper.
And a FAQ answer as to how to actually post images would be helpful!

I believe that's the forward thruster. Once you come out of impulse drive, you'll need to be able to maneuver. You should have one each on both the port and starboard side. And the aft section as well. _________________ '83 944 Track car.

To post your own pictures you need to load them onto the internet through a service like a photobucket. You can even use that picture from your blogger account or anything else on an internet server by simply using the link and the Img button.
Here's a link that goes into more detail.

The device on the front of your car is a deer horn.

Here's an example of using any picture on an internet server. This is an image from google search and I simply highlighted it with my mouse and used the Img button and it now appears in my post.
I hope that helps! _________________ '84 944 -White, Brown interior

Thanks, edredas! Very helpful!
Grenadiers - I can only assume that comment came from your inner Kia Soul. It's not worthy of any of your other listed vehicles! _________________ New first time 1987 924S owner - April 2016

We're binge-watching Star-Trek Voyager on Netflix. Hence, I think like this all the time lately. Resistance is.... _________________ '83 944 Track car.

That was a link to a webpage and not to an image... but that's how it's done!
Next time, right click on one the images on that page. Then in the menu that pops up select 'open image in new tab', then go to that tab and copy that url link and paste it here. Highlight with your mouse and press the Img button like you just did!

Interesting shots. I just built and engine for someone running a 1958 Porsche 356 in the 2016 Peking to Paris race. From what I hear, its tough on cars. _________________ 1979 924 NA race car H-Prod SCCA

Interesting! TC and I have been in contact. His 356 is now on a slow boat to China! _________________ New first time 1987 924S owner - April 2016
