What have I done? My wife wants to go to Bryce in September but won't ride in my 914 for a number of reasons; no AC, no airbags, smells like gas, it's too loud, etc. Many of the things I like about my 914. So I drove this '87 944 turbo and I was hooked. It's been very well maintained and a blast to drive. I may regret it when I have to work on it, but for now I'm happy. Although the 914 is a little pissed about having to go live in my daughter's carport (she lives across the street) because the 944 is in the garage.

One of the nicest driving Porsches ever built and it looks like you got a real nice one.
Congrats. John BTW: for the recent 7 hour trip to Hershey I bought earplugs. I have a stock exhaust but after awhile the noise and smell was giving me headaches. John |

John Can't help you with the noise, but we should take a look at the smell issue. For noise, I use earplugs so the trucks stop bothering me. What are you smelling and is it FI or carbs? Rich |

Smell is just a drip on exchanger. |

Smell is just a drip on exchanger. Oil catches on fire easier than fuel. Typically on something as new as your car, its most likely either a push rod tube seal that got torn during install, or a valve cover gasket that is not on quite straight and perfect. Both are simple to fix, both have slight tricks to make right. I have a lift if you want to walk underneath on Saturday. rich |
