    Hot 944- FINALLY

    I got my 944 delivered this morning at about 8:00 am. MY GOD IT'S FAST!!!! I talked to the builder and he said he drove it enough to get a good start on the break in. His thoughts were drive it like you stole it, so I did, several times. After figuring out the shift timing I took it on...

    Hot 944 again, again!

    Today I received an unsolicited e-mail from my builder. He said the new ECU is now working the way it is suppose to and the car may be shipped out in 3 days. He may be the best 944 wench on the east coast but this probably means 3 to 4 weeks because I am not sure his time line and mine are the...

    Hot 944 again

    I am still waiting for my car to be done. We were in Florida 2 weeks ago and stopped by the builders shop and while not ready to send home it was ready to test drive. When he started I told him to build it like he would his own, as part of that he ordered a special ECU set up and it wasn't...

I've seen others that got 50 to 70 mpg. To get this kind of mpg in the USA the car weighs 32 lbs and you push with your foot 1/2...

    Hot 944

    I got word today that my 84, 944 will be completed 4/20/13. Around the 1st of May I'll head to Florida to pick it up. Ann will drive the van and I'll break in the 944 on the way home. We've got a tow rig on the van in case we need it, but I'm an optimist, we won't need it. This is an 84, 944...

    Turbo magic

    I wonder if a small, light, remote turbo could be added to a conventional set up to over come low end turbo lag. Have it light enough to start spooling at around 1500 rpm with 5 to7 psi to produce boost before the main turbo spools up. Now, if this is feasible will the remote need to run at the...
