Re: 215 60 15 tire availability

I put on some new Hankook Kinergy PT tires due to their low price (and I am not planning to track / push the car to the limit). I highly recommend if looking for a budget friendly tire option in 215/60/R15

Re: New 3D-Printed 944 Timing Belt Tensioner Tool

This is a great tool, however, I am uncertain how I should be reading the tension. I have a belt that has 1K miles on it, and has not been retensioned. As far as I know, the tension decreases slightly as the belt is used. As such, I expect the readout to be closer the the U (used) belt spec and not ...

Re: Fun With Radio Wiring

Thanks for the helpful advice as always Tom,

I confirmed that the brown cables did not have a white stripe, definitely ground cables in the picture.

I hooked up everything to the radio, turned the ignition to accessory, and...nothing. Confirmed that the head unit isn't bad, as I was able to get ...

Re: Fun With Radio Wiring

Interesting, I guess the brown wires it is in terms of properly grounding everything. Would soldering / heat shrink be the best method to "connect" the large ground wires to the small 22 AWG black wire as pictured below? A step down crimp connector seems to be out of the question due to the large ...

Fun With Radio Wiring

Hi all,

Any radio experts around here? I am in the process of redoing the radio wiring in my car, plenty of questionable mickey mouse type stuff from whoever installed the previous unit. I am stumped about what to do with the brown ground wire pictured below (need to go from the large ground wires ...

Coolant Pressure Tester Suggestions

Any suggestions on a coolant pressure tester for a NA 944? I am planning on keeping the car for a while, and would like to own one rather than lend one from my local auto parts store (have checked in the past, and it always seems to be "checked out" anyway). I have seen mentions of the Stant 270 ...

Re: Another Door Card Repair Thread


Anyways, at this point it was time to get the switch panel installed and test that all of that still works. I'm not sure if I have the wiring harness correct. Obviously I have something wrong here. It is pushing on the switch from the back with some pretty good force. I tried moving it around and ...

Re: Door Card Repair Suggestions

Thank you for the 3D printing suggestion, I will have to look into that. The 3D printing options that I currently have access to only allow PLA printing. Not sure if this will hold up over time but I hope that I can combine this material with an epoxy base to really strengthen the area.

Any ideas ...

Door Card Repair Suggestions

Now I know this topic has come up a few different times on this Forum (as well as others), but I am in the process of refitting the cardboard-like door card panels to my car. I didn't realize how bad of shape they were in, and am having particularly a rough time with the area right where the window ...

Re: Window Regulator Grease?

I like this answer as I already have some of this grease sitting around...

Any idea what product I could use to clean off the regulator? I am considering my trusty can of brake cleaner, but not sure if there is a gentler way to clean off this crusty old part.
