My Porsche is an '86 with the updated interior!
A little update to the Porsche:
My better half (@rightfullrudder) drove him to work and, on the way home, his alarm started going totally wild. Only way he could get it to turn off was to disconnect and reconnect the battery. We are still trying to figure out how to disable the damn thing, but we haven't had anymore issues with it thus far.
Upon further inspection, we decided the timing belt was a little too tired for our comfort level so he has been somewhat retired to the garage for the past two weeks. We watched a ton of youtube videos and asked around and decided the timing belt was going to be too much of a challenge for us to do since it needs a new one pretty bad. We dropped it off at a local shop (Eurofed) on Saturday for new timing belt, rollers, water pump, and all new seals. Picking it up either Friday or Saturday.
Also, I know the Fuchs were a big love for many people but I am really not a fan of black wheels on the red, so I sold them. And sweet Ben surprised me with these beauties:
Some gorgeous 5x120 15" ARE 398s! He refinished and rebuilt them while I was away at a bachelorette party. Talk about an amazing surprise! We have matching red center caps en route. We are just trying to get them to fit on the porsche with adapters, now. (If anyone knows anything about getting these to fit, let us know!)
Hopefully going to have the thing road worthy here soon, though the stancey part has been a bit delayed thanks to the cost of having a qualified shop do everything.
Still, the next thing on the list is to do a full refresh of the suspension. I would, ideally, like to swap out the rear torsion bar and shocks for a full set of coilovers. They just seem much more practical to me. It seems like the 944 people are totally divided over it. If anyone has any experience lowering these things, let me know! I'd love some advice haha.
