I will keep spoiling you with more teaser pics until It's ready to be revealed to the world, again. Yesterday I showed you this dark version of the pic, now here's the non-edited version of the picture below. Indulge and enjoy. :P

Just a question, what is your opinion of the 924? (since I assume that you are the Porsche expert here :)

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > Sportwägen, Driver Of The Red Sportwagen 10/15/2014 at 21:29

It's alright. Depends on what you're looking for and what you want. But if you want the best of the 924s that you can actually find, go and get a 924S, a 924 with the 944's drivetrain+engine. It's actually slightly quicker than a 944, but it's still a 924.

You could also get a 924 Turbo/931, but that's a whole other thing. I'm not the 924 expert, you'll need Mathias for that. Page him. :P

I all of a sudden wanted a cheap Porsche earlier, so I thought 944 was the answer! And then I saw maintenance costs... so I figured 924! I also read somewhere that most of the 944 and 924 body panels are interchangeable. Is that true?

Hey, that looks really fun!!! I bet I could actually fit my hand in there!

924S now? If it's that cheap, I'd go for one of those. Probably debadge it, put on 944 wheels, and call it a day.

Maybe I'll just buy one without a motor and do an SRT4 swap like I've always wanted. Porsche SRT4 has a decent ring to it.....

I don't know about the body panels being interchangeable, never seen that. The maintenance costs should actually be somewhat similar between the two, but it really depends on the condition of the vehicle you find.

You know, I was thinking about that, and I don't think the SRT 944 would work.

What about 924S-RT ?

The problem is that the 924/944/968 are all logitudinal engines, and the 924's Audi bellhousing; that's gonna require tons of fabrication, I don 't think it's worth it to try to swap in a FWD-designed, transverse mounted SRT into it.

Who said anything about making the car FWD? I'll just turn the SRT4 block to a more proper direction and find a different trans that bolts up....

If I never drive FWD again, I wont miss it.

I didn't say the car would be FWD, I was talking about the engine's original usage.

Sportwägen, Driver Of The Red Sportwagen > K-Roll-PorscheTamer 10/15/2014 at 22:24

Needs lower profile tires and wider wheels! (205/55R16 is not big enough for a 3300 LB car! I filled it up (derp) the day before and it was swinging around lol) What I really want are some 17" Denver wheels (OEM 06-09 GTI wheels) with some 225/45R17s (So I could stay in street stock class)

JGrabowMSt > K-Roll-PorscheTamer 10/15/2014 at 22:27

Well, a custom bellhousing and figuring out the input/output shaft to make it work really isn't that bad. It'll make a lot more power than a regular 924S or even a 944 Turbo. It'll even be easier to work on.

Is it not that bad? I remember working on a 944 turbo when I was an intern in highschool and it was like they molded the engine bay around the engine haha. I got big hands though and I'm used to old Toyota trucks so I'm spoiled I guess

Oh you were referring to actually working on it? I've got small hands, it works for me. Space should be the same as a Turbo though. I haven't had to do any work to it yet.
