cyberpunky Posted 7August, 2013 Report Share Posted 7August, 2013 Just thought I would share after reading about the sale on RennList (since removed). I have no affiliation but figure he probably has no idea about this forum and maybe someone here would be interested. Looks like a much loved car with some unique stuff on it. If I was in a position to buy it, I would seriously consider it Click here peace Cyberpunky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly Posted 7August, 2013 Report Share Posted 7August, 2013 Not bad! I see he has gotten rid of the problem (mechanical fuel injection) Looks like it had been looked after. What id pay for it? 5k or less. Just because it's got the 4 stud hubs, no rear spoiler and i don't think it has a galvanised body either. It's just a shame you never get your money back on cars after modding them Yes the 924 did come in 5 stud n/a with a spoiler and multi spoke 15" wheels.

cyberpunky Posted 7August, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 7August, 2013 yeah I had no idea what she would be worth but looks like most of the hard stuff has been done to make her a reliable DD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly Posted 7August, 2013 Report Share Posted 7August, 2013 It would be a good run around. Someone after a good cheap porsche (need to start somewhere don't we all?) to drive every day or even join us on SMTs would enjoy it. The fact it's a very light car also with a manual steering rack too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Pauly Actually K-jet is extremely reliable and completely tuneable . Like any fuelling system they must be kept in good condition. All 924's had the galvanised body , My memory tells me everything Porsche from 76-77 was gal. Thats a tidy 924 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pocketscience Posted 7August, 2013 Report Share Posted 7August, 2013 Yes I concur regarding K-Jet. The main reason for going EFI, other than "because I could", was that I had plans to install an SC-14 supercharger. But alas work commitments mean I simply don't have time for that much fun anymore. I sold the SC-14 the other day. The Megasquirt-III EFI is a wonderful piece of kit and I still remember the feeling when I turned it over the first time after the conversion - it started and idled right from first moment. Fun! Oh and yes it is a gal body, like all 924's. G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly Posted 8August, 2013 Report Share Posted 8August, 2013 No way! my dad was going to put a SC14 supercharger in his 924! still might do it too. good luck with the sale mate. it's a nice example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pocketscience Posted 9August, 2013 Report Share Posted 9August, 2013 I've got a bracket design somewhere for mounting the SC-14. It assumes you've done the EFI conversion to clear some space though! Getting a 944 coolant tank and a slimline (Davies Craig) radiator fan is a good idea too. You can see a nice SC-14 sized space where my pod filter currently sits (that was to be relocated in front of and below the coolant tank). G.

pocketscience Posted 8September, 2013 Report Share Posted 8September, 2013 So my 924 is still for sale... the price has been slowly eroding the last couple of weeks. I had an offer from a wrecker on fleaBay this week, but I couldn't bring myself to sell her to someone who'd take her and tear her to bits... A young kid (OK, late teens I guess - do I sound old?) just came around and loved it, was ready to go, but then his father came over and said "you need to sell the other 3 cars at home first!". And that was that... (sigh...) If my 993 turns up before the 924 is gone I know who'll be in the garage and who won't! I also know who'll be in the dog-house...

pocketscience Posted 11September, 2013 Report Share Posted 11September, 2013 I've got a receipt of payment into my account for the 924. Looks like it's a done deal now. I will be picking up my 993 a few hours before the 924 drives away, so they'll get a little bit of time together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
