Hi New owner
Hi,
Just wanted to say hello and show you my new kid. She is a 1987 944S with 192 xxx KM. I picked her up about a month ago. Flew to get her and drove her home, a 5 hour drive, nice drive. I have been a Pelican Parts voyeur for a long time. I also want to thank all of you for your help; you educated me alot about the cars we love. Thanks again, Bruno

Very cool. Last November, on my 32nd birthday, I bought an S in Ohio that had 82K miles. I live near DC in Virginia.
Exactly one week later, I took a day off from work, flew out there, and drove it home. So I know that feeling of driving it home for five hours. It's a pretty good feeling. Keep it on the road and don't forget to take care of that chain tensioner!

Ive never worked or had an S but I know that someof the N/As plugs are fairly hard to get to, just try and put on an extension on the socket.

Bruno,
Welcome to the site. It is fantastic resource. Where are you? I am going to guess Quebec (no front plate).

Check the tool kit, there is a spark plug socket that works great.

Welcome aboard!
I have to admit though, from the pic you posted, I think you may be my evil twin?!? Ok, so maybe I'm the evil one. Either way.... strange! I'll have to dig up a pic to post later. -Nick

Of course, that make sense. Still calling it Hull?
PM me. I have learned a lot over the last year on my N/A and 951. Always happy to help if I can.
