Just looked under my seat and no, there’s no connecting rod on the other side. I’ll be pulling my seats to reupholster them in a couple weeks, so I can get you a photo of the underside then. I would recommend removing the passenger seat and then familiarizing yourself with linkage to make sure you ...

That’s true maybe I’ll take it to an exhaust shop and have them put something sportier on there. I just don’t know which muffler would sound good

Well I guess I’ll just remove it and keep it off. I just hate how loud the engine is compared to my exhaust and I can’t justify $800 on a dansk catback.

@CarBot if I replaced the worn and crumbling hood insulation in my 1983 944 for a new set, would I notice any reduction in engine noise?

I don’t know what the cost of production will be, but I think that would be an appropriate price considering the amount of time and effort going into making it

Well after several days of driving after installing a new thermostat the car works as intended! The wahler thermostat I removed said made in Brazil so I wonder if that could be part of the problem. The OEM one I purchased had a made in Germany stamp so I’m confident about this one lasting longer.

Wow, that definitely settles it! Thanks guys!

I’m planning on reupholstering my seats and I’m debating adding dark brown piping as opposed to the tan I’ll be doing for the rest of the seats. I’ve added a very rudimentary image I edited to see what it would look like. Thoughts?

Friend sent me this today... Much cheaper than California gas, but at 87 octane I'm not sure there's much upside...

Hey, that’s at a Maverik gas station! They’re super common here in Utah. I’ve always wondered about using the ethanol free fuel


Does it come in higher ...
