Tim's 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo
Have owned the car for 3 years. Was living in England at the time and bought the car on eBay...been looking for a good one for some time, and when this one showed up just 25 miles away from me I bought it on the spot.
The car had done 66,000 miles from new and had a full service history withm all the receipts to prove it. It was almost totally standard when I got it with lots of factory options fitted from new.
Zermatt silver with a Burgundy pinstripe sports interior. Since buying have fitted new vacuum hoses, Bailey dump valve, high pressure fuel regulator, dual port waste gate, Promax Motorsport chips and a variable boost controller. The car puts out between 315 and 340 BHP depending on which dyno you believe. Had the brake callipers fully restored and fitted grooved and vented disks. Modernized the interior slightly with some subtle brushed chrome highlights and a modern Porsche club sport steering wheel. Fitted better speakers and a head unit with hard drive MP3 player.
Never get tired of driving it, especially when the boost comes on. Future plans are 968 mirrors and possibly some 17" Cup 1 alloy. The power will probably be enough as anything more will be pretty expensive. I can't ever see me selling it as I just love it too much. One day would like to get it fully resprayed in Porsche "Speed Yellow." Never seen a 944 in that color and think it would look totally stunning.
