A few Q's

[Sirius Driver]

Okay i had to start a new thread since I have a few Q's. What kinda gas should I run in my 86' Turbo? How many quarts of oil does it use? and What are common issues with these cars? TIA!

Run 91 pump octane at a _minimum_. 93 if you can get it.

It takes over 6 quarts of oil, most people here use Mobil 1 or another brand of full synthetic in our 951.

Common issues? Normal 944 issues really. Look here at the buyer's guide: http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/944_buyers_guide/944_buyers_guide.htm

~6.7 quarts if my memory serves me.

Aaron, you chose the same name for your 914 that I did for my 951. German for "temptress." I saw that and knew it was accurate haha

Lorelei chose me, and then when I tried to sell her, she came back to me. I'm considering changing the 951's name from "Gretchen" to "B*tch" after her last trip to the mechanic's.

Lorelei was the name of a siren in Germanic myth who lured sailors to their deaths on rocks in the Rhine river. I figured it was appropriate, and that also explains why it's synonymous with "temptress" now.

Yessir, it's a fascinating story... and an accurate one for my Lorelei.

Gretchen loosely translated means "*****" though, doesn't it? That or "my parents hated me when I was named."
