Welcome Hagen! You can also download the file(s) and have your own 3D printed in Germany.sonnehns wrote: Thu Oct 31, 2024 7:31 am Hi my name is Hagen and I am from Germany.

My yellow 74 ('Jezibel') is 914 Nr. 7.

Welcome and thanks for joining Carpokes! You’ll find a bunch of 944 folks here.944S2Bob wrote: Thu Oct 31, 2024 1:20 pm Hi Everyone,
I live in the DC suburbs of Northern Virginia and have been a Porsche owner and PCA member for about 25 years. It all stared with 2000 with a 944, and along the way, there were eight more Porsches, including a Cayenne, several Boxsters (mostly S models), and now, a 1991 944 S2. Until now, the S2 has been completely stock. However, I am preparing to upgrade the suspension with M030 components, add 17" wheels and tires, change brake hoses, and a few more items to refresh or upgrade. Ultimately, I am looking to do some autocrossing and HPDE events.
Wonderful Porsche history! There are quite a number of AX and DE and racing folks here so please check out the Racing sub-forum if you can.944S2Bob wrote: Thu Oct 31, 2024 1:20 pm Hi Everyone,
