Eric's 1986 Porsche 944
I first discovered 944s reading "Road & Track" during study
hall in high school in the early 1980s. I loved the way all the Porsches
looked then, but decided some day I'd own a 944. That someday came almost
20 years later in October of 2001 when I bought my 1986 Guards Red 944.
Here it is sitting in the driveway on a beautiful
morning. "There she sits, buddy, just gleamin' in the
sun..." |
The 4 cylinder power plant. You ought to hear it
though. It has a great sound and you won't believe it's a 4-banger. |
My kids love it too. |
See? |

I'm not much of a mechanic, but I make an effort.
Here I'm trying to wrest the oilpan drainplug loose. Dang gorillas
at the shop!

My 944 sitting with a relative at Porsche Park, located
just outside turn 1 at Road America near Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.
The local PCA just re-did Porsche Park in May 2004. Come check it
out! |
I have learned much about these cars from the wonderful forums of Rennlist.
If you have any interest in these cars, you owe it to yourself to check it
out. I have also written up a fix or two. If you are having any of
these problems, see if this helps.
