Kinja'd!!!

So it seems to be just about a month later now from when !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . I recently began ordering parts to try and make everything better, though the parts I continue to find myself buying aren't exactly what you think I'd be buying after a quarter of my car was cosmetically destroyed...

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Before the incident occurred I was planning on going through the suspension but I never allowed myself to dump my full paycheck into the car, until yesterday when I did.

This is most of what I've bought so far...

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Opinions? Anyone in the NYC area want to help the 944 crew wrench?

Let me know if you need a hand I'm about a half hour from Carteret. As long as its not a tues or wed I should in theory be available.

Not sure if it's going to be Carteret. I might ask the boss if I could borrow CCC friday night(7PM-7AM)...

Ccc would be tough for me to make, but if youre in NJ, I can certainly make some time to help out Saturday afternoon before hitting the chatterbox (can even skip the chatterbox). I need to pull part of the wagon apart tomorrow, but am otherwise free all day saturday.

Hey I live near there! But I've never worked on a car before, and I'm going to an AutoX on Friday as well as Saturday.

I've heard that early 944s aren't able to be chipped meaningfully. Meaning that you can't necessarily get any noticeable power out of it from a chip.

I don't know how true that is. Let me know your experiences with it.

I'm there for emotional support. When are you working on it?

I would love to help. But I am in NM and I have already committed to installing a new steering rack, all new sway bar bushings and some other items on the Subaru this weekend. BTW, I am a closet 944 lover, so you have my heart.

Looks like it isn't an early car based on the parts list. There are some modest gains possible in the torque curve with a chip, but it isn't huge.

Will probably start around 9 at CCC.

Heh, I took "these hoses are nasty" as an excuse to break out the fancy silicone hoses.
