wow nice car...i love the 944....especially the 2nd series, the interior is so much nicer than the old one...
to be really honest, i dont really like the rear light/reflector/whatever it is very much...but tastes differ (luckily).
Ever thought of putting a Turbo front bumper on it? i personally think that looks very good too
but as i already said, very very nice car, i hope to own a 944 in a couple of years too...

Nice car! I need to post pics of the Porsche a friend of mine left in my garage a few years back for one year (it was quite modified, just not legal due to Swiss road laws, something to do with the brakes).

Guess I'll post it in the "what you saw today" category =)

Very nice car !! I love it. Very good photos, very detailed !!

I love that old kind of rims !!

Hope to see a sound file or little video !!

Thanks guys.

As for the Turbo front end, my dad has a 1988 944S and he put the Turbo rear valance on it. He is trying to find a Turbo front end for it at a resonable price. He recently bought some 911 Carrera rims for it. they look awesome! I also understand about the rear light. The main reason we put it on is that it is next to impossible to see the car in the dark, so the light really helped with safety.

You have a very beautiful red Porsche 944. I dreamed to have one in the Eighties ! :D

I am astonished by the good condition of your vehicle...your Porsche is definitively in good shape. I very like your V1 setup. :wink:

Nice 944 dude, thanks for the pics and most imporant, thanks for reading the rules ;)

Just out of curiosity, is the 944 rare in the US BTW?

hmm yeah if ur car has been rear ended once already, i understand u dont want it to happen again...

Nah, the 944 isnt too rare in the US. There are a few of them running around my city, but most of the people who own them are all really big porsche fans and are really nice and cool to talk to.

Lovely 944! And 2nd gen! :P Very nice car, love it and want to have one(before 911*cough*) cause its not expensive and its a Porsche :D

Those lights and rear bumper are on US models, EURO models have them different and I like those more

HI nice to see another 944 driver !
Impressive condition after such an amount of miles.
Is it the first cover paint?
You don´t mention any restauration ?

yea, 1st cover paint, no real restoration, just fix it as it breaks things. New ceramic clutch, things like that that wear out we replace with newer better parts. Dropping the transmition really sucks, as I am sure that you know, because the 1st step in any job you have to do on the car is "Remove Transmition" :roll:

I love these cars though. Do you own a Turbo, or what? I really want my dad to buy a Turbo, he is just worried about how long they last.

I hope you'll forgive the unsolicited advice, but I'd suggest putting the original catalytic converter back on if you still have it. The engine was designed to work with some backpressure, and you are probably losing power without it.

The car's looking good, especially considering its age. Has the engine been rebuilt?

nice 944
and the interior seems to be in very good condition

Nice car man you have at 19, nice choice also!

Nice colour for it! :D
