Nice looking car! I always liked the front vents between the headlights on the 924 Turbos.

Thanks guys! The previous owner took real good care of it. Paint is original, new water pump and belts, new clutch, rebuilt turbo, new oil lines, new shifter bushings. I'm loving this car!

Nice car. How much more boost than stock can they take?

Nice looking - I'm envious. I've always wanted a 924 turbo. I see your's has the five lug wheels, and disk brakes - cool.

Nice car. It's good to see one on the road.
Early 944 guys, that's the steering wheel you want for some extra clearance.

Very nice. I am picking up a red 1981 931 on Friday in Pennsylvania, with factory GT intercooler. Do not think the body/exterior is in quite as good shape, though I have not seen it in person yet, only photos. Supposed to have approx. 50K+ miles. Has the sport package with seats/wheels as well.

Cool... I would like to have a GT intercooler. I really like the way the sport seats feel compaired to standard seats.

Very nice!
I have the same steering wheel on my '83 and it does increase leg clearance. Speedy

What is a 924 Turbo like performance wise compared to 944/944S/944Turbo/944S2/944TurboS ?
Where does it fall in?

they run about 155HP, IIRC, but weigh 300-400 lbs. less.
i've been wanting a turbo 924 for a while. they are usually beat like an unwanted dog. VERY NICE!

The series 2 has 177 HP stock I believe. Also, pretty easy to upgrade by adding things such as intercooler, raising boost levels, custom intake, etc. Not quite as tunable as the 951 though. However, I do know many people who have claimed to get well into the 200's as far as HP.

Very nice. I'd rather have a 924 turbo than any 924/944. Much more rare and I like the body lines a little better. You can tell its slimmer than the others as well. Love those wheels on it too. Is the hood scoop stock? Looks like a stock z31 300zx turbo scoop. Besides that the car looks mint.
