928s in my oppinion arent too crach hot, I know of someone in the US who ripped out the porka engine and put in a 350 chev as it was cheaper to run, more reilable, cheaper on parts, made more power, was quicker, and 150kgs LIGHTER.

how do you fit a 350chev in this?? must be painful..

A 350 Chev would be a much more compact motor than the 4.5/5/5.4L SOHC Porsche V8s, being an ol' pushrod motor...

Also you could get rid of that mechanical injection & twin dizzy business.

forget about the 924, i own one, its sits in the shed under a cover....terrible car, poor handling and piss poor performance. the interior is squashy and outdated, the hatch area is terribly small, the motor is a shocker to work on and you will work on it, often. parts are hard to come by and expensive from new.

good luck with it.

cheers

A 924 is not a Porcshe.  It is some old crapper with an old Audi motor.

:werd: and an Audi light truck motor at that...

As much as I like Porsches I would have to say don't buy a 924. Don't go, don't handle, don't stop. All the thing Porsches are known for. :)

If you want a Porsche that handles, stops, sweet to drive, pretty as a picture (but has no go....:( )then get a 912! :uh-huh:

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
