I bought my 944 a year ago at the age of 17 and didnt know the difference between a water pump and a stomach pump. If I did I wouldnt have bought THIS car
Well I started digging into it and ran across problems every now and then to which I would post to Rennlist, I then started hanging out with some guys here in KC called the Kansas City Wrenching Society,
www.kcws.org and from then on I have read every damn Rennlist post involving a tech problem. I bookmarked clarks garage and have a cd copy of PET and the manuals. I have diagnosed MANY MANY problems on my car with the help of people like the ones on this board. I myself HAVE to know WHY, and HOW something is working and why it isnt working now before I can attempt to correct the problem. It HAS to play out in my head first, thus you will see me asking some very very odd questions on here when it comes to troubleshooting. If you can learn how to think like the DME, pick up a few pointers on suspension and the transmission, and learn how to put things back together there isnt too much that can stop you. The single BIGGEST thing I have learned in the past year and the RIGHT tool makes ALL the difference! I have literally spent HOURS trying to get certain bolts off and what not when all I needed would have been an adaptor of some sort and I would have had it off in minutes or less. Invest in quality tools!
