1st Track Car

[StiflerMR2]

Well i have gone halfers with a mate to buy a cheap track car to learn how to drive properly, had to be rwd and since owning the RX8 i have tended to favor FE, RWD layout - especially with near 50/50 weight distribution - so we picked up this and are taking her on track this Saturday at the Track Scotland day.





We will be far and away the slowest on track so will do our best not to hold everyone up

Very nice!! can I ask how much?

[renmure]

I have always liked 944's and remember really drooling when I ever saw one on the road. Think they still look classy. Its odd to think you can now pick one up to use almost as a toy. Much impressed

£1200 - bargin i reckon (ok it has done 120K), 1 years MOT, 8 months tax and about 7mm tread on the tyres.

It's fit as a fiddle and seems really strong, not the quickest but should be good fun

[Shug]

That's a steal mate. Not many better to teach the joys of RWD, from reputation.

Superb

Wow. That's virtually free.

Where did you get it from?

Good effort

Looks great - have fun

Very nice, always had a soft spot for 944s as my dad had one a few years ago Lovely car to drive, probably not very quick by todays standards but felt very special at the time - have fond memories of a trip to Silverstone one year with it. Still think I'd like to own one myself at some point in the future

Can't beat a car with popup headlights

[StiflerMR2]

Bought it from a fella near Glenrothes. The car was on eBay & Autotrader there are loads on there at the mo - scarily cheap and plenty off them so its a real buyers market at the minute it seems

Insurance for us was £275 fully comp on a classic policy (sdp & C) - which included trackday cover for porsche GB events, other track days are £60 per event

Very pleased all in all, heres hoping we don't stuff it into the wall on the first run out

You all know my opinion!

Please please, do the cambelt/balance belt! They break for fun as the front oil seals weep into the belt cover (Especially after 120k miles) and then the belts die in a horribly terminal way. Is it a 16 or an 8 valve?

If you need any bodywork bits (Or you stuff it into a wall) drop me a line, lots of bits common between 924/944s and there are lots of good obscure bits places that can help you out

You may be the slowest on track, but you will be so much more comforatable

Cambelt was done this summer - first thing we checked - the 2.5 does not have the balance belt either (at least i dont think they do? :S)

Cheers for the offer of bits tho Rich - we are putting it up on ramps Wednesday night to do a bit of prep work so depending what we find i might need to take you up on that

[Rich H]

Oh yes it does Mine is the Audi lump so more basic than a basic thing, you have half a 928 engine, so its out of balance by default (Missing 4 pots for a start) so there is a balance shaft to sort that out. If its out of kilter you will loose your fillings.
