Yes correct. Just used the normal belt and boot fixing point. Once in and tensioned it is quite snug. I also place some carpet under the back seat to protect the seat fabric and it also seems to hold the seat in more firmly.

I have a Mother's Choice Allure (model GS2013). It fits into the back seats of a 944 with little trouble. My little boy loves going for Sunday drives with me.

I’m a big fan of the Kalahari Beige. Really suits the 944 lines. (Y)

I've used this stuff along the corrugations at the base of my garage's slab and it worked well. Takes a bit of time to cut neatly though.

Surely you're missing some front engine fun again Tingy? I appreciate the kind comments all. Hopefully my ad provides a reasonable indication of the work that has gone into the car. I just want it to go to a good home.

I think the big thing we can take from this thread is the love for P-cars of all shapes, sizes and eras!

Here's mine: Carrera GT 997.2 GT3 RS 4L 1990 944 Turbo 968 Turbo S Cayman GT4 Tough list. Would love a 964 Turbo S or 993 Turbo S in there too...

@Kerry - I would appreciate your assistance.

Hoping one of the PFA admins sees my post and can assist me. I paid my financial membership renewal via direct deposit many weeks back but my status is continuing to show as a non-financial member. I've tried the support/contact us section to notify an admin but am yet to receive a response. Can anyone assist? Regards, Justin

Wouldn't have guessed a ute was on the horizon. Datsun 1200... Good to hear the knee is going well.

@chris_f Congrats on the sale Chris. Sounds like some perseverance was needed. I bet it was a sad day seeing it on the trailer! @Rob I heard you were selling the TT RS. Any idea what you'll replace it with? Something two pedal I take it?

Looks like a nice example Ossie. The sports seats look to be in superb condition! How many miles?

That would be great to see Gavin. This is the best demo video I've seen to date:

Yes I decided to grab one from ARB today to replace my current extinguisher. No need for a seat mount now as it fits perfectly in the map pocket of my door. 👍

Digging up this thread. Has anyone had to use one of these extinguishers yet? ARB still seems to be the only AU distributer at $165 each?

Nice to know they didn't pick another Ferrari...

Wowser that 944 is mental fast. It's getting close to being an 8 second car. 😐 I prefer the sound of the McLaren though. 😜

Nice progress! The headers turned out really good.

I have the Paragon Koni kit (set at 75% firm) on my car and am very happy with it. My car also has the larger 968CS sway bars, larger torsion bars, KLA front strut brace, Racer’s Edge camber plates, 968 control arm bushes and lots of camber. For a street car it performs very well and is not too harsh. There is more body roll than I initially expected but it is still very enjoyable. After the initial roll it sets nicely into corners. Highly recommended. 😊

The pump prime version seems to be US$77. Shipping for 3 of them to Brisbane is still US$37 so about AUD$18 each. Worth some consideration if it gets the big 3L lump starting faster. This ‘full’ harness looks pretty comprehensive (noted it doesn’t cover cycling valve)? https://www.lindseyracing.com/LR/Porsche/LR-951-HAR-FULL.html

Good advice Tingy. I wasn’t aware Lindsey have full harnesses now. This is good peace of mind for our old cars. @Jason E Time to order one of these solid state relays in time for Xmas? Any other Brisbane owners keen to order one and share postage?

Stunning Bobby! I like the black and gold colour combo (goes with the interior too).

Funny how there’s been a bunch of black S2’s cropping up lately. They look very mean in that colour with a nice polish and wax!

I’m just bitter that so many of the front engine cars end up in Melbourne! 😛
