    if you get a PPI pay extra for an alignment. Carfax doesnt always show the cars damage.

      Let me know if you need Parts. my father inlaw has parted 914s, 928s, and 944s for YEARS.

      Has a rust free 944T shell I want to do an lsx swap in. 944 look sick.

        924 was my first car. Biggest pile of shit ever. I intentionally wrecked it despite having no car afterwards. that's how much I hated it.

          Cool looking car, love the headlights, but I only hear terrible things.
          FD's ARE a nightmare, TII's not so much (especially stock)
          The joke goes the FD stands for Financial Disaster, and for me it certainly was.

                balanced 911? rofl. Early 911s might as well had the engine towed on a trailer behind the car they were so far back.

                  No mention of 968's yet? 968CS is about as close as you're going to come to driving perfection in the Porsche range. Spiritual successor, handling wise, would be the Cayman.

                      Until your 2008 Cayman S Design Edition D chunks at 25k miles and Porsche won't replace your engine under warranty.

                      True story. Happened to my boss' car. Still sitting here without an engine.



                      Was a kickass car to drive though.

                        Several friends race PRO944 (and some also run 944 spec.) With both running on RA's and fresh motors and Coilovers, an E30 will beat the 944. They run about the same lap times as a well sorted SM. Course, this all depends on who is behind the wheel. On the street, the 944 will get more looks than a E30 in stock form.. Depends on what your end goal is.

                          Styling wise, these cars win.

                              Renegade Hybrids makes LS conversions for 944 and most P-Cars. 85 was a transition year and they got a lot of improvements. Get one with a good history and you will have a nice car. I personally want a 914 to dick around with while I daily the E30 ... in a perfect world...
