Hi Len,

I'd be interested to find out more.

Sounds like it was a pretty straightforward job? I guess you could run fuel injection - certainly on the port injection engines - quite easily using...

986 engine in a kit car?

I know you can swap 996 engines into the first generation Boxster, but how difficult would it be to take the engine and gearbox and put it in a kit car or a home built one-off?

If you carried over...

Dansk exhaust for the 924

Hi,

I've just bought a Dansk stainless steel exhaust for my 924 Lux. In most respects it fits onto all the old mountings perfectly, but when I got to the strap that goes around the rear...

Yep, both fronts were done. It definitely sounds like it's coming from the front right corner. The noise is a bit like when you first touch the brakes with slightly rusty rotors if the car has been...

Fortunately there's no power steering to worry about on this one.

Engine mounts are a very good point. I'll take a closer look for signs of any belts rubbing etc.

Is it an easy job to change...

Rubbing sound during heavy cornering

Hi,

The front right corner of my 924 Lux makes a sort of graunching/rubbing sound going round left hand bends. It only starts to do so when you're cornering relatively hard (you can turn the wheel...

Thanks. There's a certain amount of corrosion on the back plates, so I can imagine there are going to be all sorts of bits which are seized up, so I might just take it along to the local specialist...

Excellent, thanks.

The adjusters are my first plan. If that doesn't work (and providing there are no obviously perished seals or anything) the next step is a fluid change.

It's probably worth...

Adjusting 924 brakes

Hi,

I've just bought a 924 Lux and I'm rapidly realising the brakes aren't as good as they should be.

The pedal is quite soft initially and there's quite a lot of extra pedal travel once they...

Back in the fold with a few questions

Hi,

Six years after I sold my 924S I've finally got round to buying another front-engined Porsche; a 1983 924 Lux. It was something of an impulse buy and I'm really pleased with it overall, but I...

944: square/oval dash ventilation

Right, my mind is set on a 944 lux (finally)

I'm quite happy to go with the lighter, cheaper pre-85 car and I even prefer the looks inside and out, but one of the main concerns is ventilation.

Ok - so rust proofing is the same for both eras. Is it fair to assume the condition of, say a 1983 lux versus a 1987 lux will depend largely on how it's been treated? I mean - is there any reason to...

944 variants

I've been persuaded to go for a 944 over another 924S, but which one? :)

Specifically.....

Lux - is this a seperate model or is just the official name for the base model (ie non-S/S2)? If so,...

How much is involved in removing the assembly in the first place? Do you have to disconnect the sway bars etc?

Here the 968 are 3 times the price of an S2 or turbo and from what I gather they're not 3 times the car (that's a bit academic anyway as I don't have 3 times the budget!)

Without doubt the S2 is...

Oh yes, if I can afford it I'm gonna get an S2. Have started to wonder turbos too, but I think I'd prefer the NA delivery, plus they almost certainly would be out of my budget.

I must admit I found the 2.5 8 valve (in 924S guise) a little frustrating at times - the low range torque was addictive, but it seemed to run out of 'go' way too early and perhaps a few more revs...

944: 2.5 Vs 2.5S Vs 2.7

Re: Re: 944: 2.7 lux or S2

I know the 1.8 MX5/miata isn't exaclty quick but it's fast enough to have fun on a back road and quite a lot smaller (and I presume) more chuckable than a 944. However, I don't think theres...

944: 2.7 lux or S2

I've been thinking about getting back to 924/944 ownership with an S2. However, I'm told good S2's are quite rare in the UK and they're cost can be easily twice that of an 8 valve. As a result I'm...
