Best 944 Forum?

[WhorifyingHunty]

I've been thinking about pulling the trigger on these.

When I test drove the 944 we're looking at I really started to appreciate my e30's more but just like I have a disease with the e30, I can't bash someone for having the same disease with something else. I just told him to buy both ha!

Here's the one we're looking at: http://sarasota.craigslist.org/cto/3656095517.html Pictures don't show how clean the interior is or how clean other parts are. :hitler:

The seller agreed to $4700, all the seals are nice, garage kept, owner has had it since '04 and actually did work on it himself (over $4500 in receipts), new water pump/timing belt (not plastic either). Judging by other ones we've seen this looks to be a logical choice. The owner also is selling so he can buy a BMW bike and owns a 5-Series wagon so he's an actual enthusiast which is comforting haha. My buddy also wants to learn how to wrench on it so I'm supporting his decision.

I'll tell him to join Rennlist, the owner actual had a sticker with that on his window, thanks for the heads up guys!

Second question though... does a realoem.com site exist for Porsche?

imo, the build quality on the e30 is much better compared to the 944, the 944 is horrible to work on, so I must disagree with that.

the 944 might be faster, its nicer to drive, more performance oriented, but i would take a beater e30 over a nice 944 any day

The one I looked at had a fucked up clutch pedal, engagement was all the way at the top and felt like crap. once it was rolling it felt great. Might look at another one in a week or I'll just pick up another E30.

Rennlist and Pelican Parts are probably your best bet.

^ This.

You have to pay for a subscription to Rennlist, but it is 100% worth it.

Oh, and while I prefer to wrench on the E30 vs 944, the 944 is a nicer car. Sorry to burst anyone's bubble.

Looked at a 944 today, was an OK car but no E30. Didn't buy it.

He should:

1. Buy E30 instead
2. Join R3v

+1. Buying a 944 was the worst decision I ever made.

Rennlist is a bunch of people asking what oil they should use.. kind of like bimmerforums.
Just use http://www.clarks-garage.com for any type of repairs.

[frankenbeemer]

Yeah, where is the "r3v" for 944's?

[rturbo 930]

Rennlist and Pelican Parts are probably your best bet.

He should:

1. Buy E30 instead
2. Join R3v
3. Use savings and R3v community for LSx swap
4. Profit!

My buddy is about to pull the trigger on a Porsche 944 (1985.5) and I'm trying to see what the best forum is out there for it. Since we all know r3v is the best forum for the e30, what is the best forum for the 944?

Something with tons of info and a good community, let me know!
