Thanks for having me.

It's family! Welcome to Carpokes!

New to Carpokes but not Porsches. I've owned/built fifteen 944 turbos, a 968, and a couple 911s over the years. My current 944 is a 1986 turbo chassis with carbon fiber widebody and LT1 V8 swap. I also love MKiV Toyota Supras. I built a few single turbo 6 speeds over the years. My current blue one is pictures below.

Welcome to Carpokes @Ckotch, lots of 944 talk here

What a unique 944 you have there @Ckotch ! Awesome....Love the seats

+1 on the seats

Fantastic looking Porsche as well as your other car. Your built 944 is striking and pristine - it looks brand new!

And yes, as from the others, welcome to Carpokes!

Not sure how you posted your photos but Carpokes hosts photos internally, so If you did happen to use a 3rd party pic hosting site it's not necessary here. If you prefer using the site's tool, Tom's handy photo posting guide follows if needed.

Very cool. What instrument cluster is that, with nothing at the bottom of the tach? I can see why you are here -- that interior is begging for the 911-style gauges!

Mid America NASA has a Porsche Mechanic ( owns his own shop in the KC area ) who swapped a LS1 in his 944 and it is a rocket. I had to pedal really hard to stay ahead of him when I had a factory built Boss 302S --- the car screams! I imagine yours is super quick also and you did a beautiful job on the mods!

Hi all. Future 944 owner here, planning on buying soon and wanted to 3d print a timing belt tool
