Just thought I'd share that with everybody seeing as how I was bored. I guess this post is especially for you who are 'thinking' about a 944.

I guess I've had it for around 46-47000 miles now. Which is also around 2 years.
Still my baby

Parts so far:
CV axle
Radiator hose
DME Relay
Inner tie rod end (which hasn't been done yet)
and thats it... :P I've also had the timing belts replaced.
I think this is my cheapest-to-own car yet

Starts every time I ask it to, and is fun as heck (thanks FR!)
ah well...
I need to go drive around again

my na 944 has 215,000 miles and drive it every day . my 951 only 68,000 I keep in up most of the time. Tell me what the deal is on the inner tie rod end? Do you have a slight shake in the stearing wheel. I think i might need a inner tie rod on one side but not sure, how do you figure out if thats needed?

ilikemy944 · 03-05-2003, 08:07 PM

I was told I needed it during the timing belt change.
On-center steering is bad.
If the road leans, then the steering wheel is always double the angle the other direction (make sense?)
Like, if the road tilted 5 degrees to the right, the steering wheel is 10 degrees to the left to keep the car straight.

Currently apart awaiting some upgrades but on original engine block, unopened tranny, head, etc. I rebuilt the engine recently though but still...

136,000+ (dead odometer, in the last year by the maintenance records.) My estimate of actual miles is 139,000, with a little over 1,000 of those being my miles.

Ditto about the previous owners.

Thanks for Stating the Obvious Carter, I needed that.... don't forget to add this..
They're really Truely Unamazing cars when they're driven into the ground and never serviced properly, Oh! and they're sort of like a Pandora's Box if you buy one with no service records, but they're Amazing Project cars if you get one like that. Golly they're fun....would that work?.. hehe

Just ask it, or get Ilikemy944 to have a chat with your car, he's kinda like that weird Broad that talks to dogs and guinea pigs and stuff.. he'll be able to tell you ALL about your car......
