Don't forget cam chain and tensioner. You don't have that to deal with on the 8v but you do on the 16v. If you're not sure, change them. Has the same effect on the valve train as breaking a timing...

The hacksaw doesn't lower the car, the Welt 200 springs do. About 1 inch. You should be able to lower the rear of the car to balance the thing out without re-indexing the t bars in the rear. You'll...

The clicking that you mentioned near the glove box could be the cruise control unit. Mine made a clicking noise now and then. It's located just in front of the battery. I just disconnected mine since...

Also, if you're thinking of hitting the track sometime, having a couple of AXs under your belt will be a big help. Getting the feel of the car sliding at 30mph is good to do before doing it at 60mph....

Hot oily environment and father time are not the best friends to the rubber in the center of the OEM clutch. Not very likely that the clutch survived 200+ miles, no matter how it's been driven.

If you've cooked a main or rod bearing, your oil pressure is going to be screwed (low). Don't drive it or you'll just be doing more damage to other parts of the engine.

Once you put in the new TB, plan on every 3 years or 30,000 miles. They will not make it for 40,000. I had one let go at just under 40,000 about 15 years ago (in the dark ages before 944 forums)...

The front 474s have to come out to adjust stiffness. I think on the M030s they have the little dial on the top of the strut. With those, open the hood and give it a twist. Rears have to come out on...

Hey, Derek Bell still has the GT that was given to him by Porsche for one of his LeMans wins. He's had a number of P cars since but has kept the GT. Says something about front engine 4 cyl Porsches.

These gearboxes don't hold up well with that kind of load. I think running 400hp is pushing your luck. Adding forced induction means you're going to be making some trans repair guy a rich man.
