Does anyone out there have some ideas on how to "sharpen up' a 924S.
Nothing to drastic to start with, just one step at a time.
 
Fit Bosch superfour spark plugs,remove any slack from the accelerator cable or change the airflow cable cam to the fast action circular type,and initial pick-up can be improved by removing the black plastic top to the airflow meter & reducing the spring tension on the airflap by moving the helical spring round 1 or 2 notches on the black plastic cam,this in conjunction with resetting the air bipass adjustment using the allen key in the toolkit or some other one if missing using an exhaust gas meter.The Gunson one is good enough.
 
Or if you mean handling, fitting 944 S2 anti-roll bars front and rear makes a lot of difference to cornering sharpness. Depends on your definition of "sharpen up".. Paul, could you PM me with a clear lenses supplier?
 
Many thanks for your responses. Yes I did mean that I wanted to make the car somewhat brisker in performance so there's a couple of things that you've suggested which I shall pursue. Thanks again.
 
I would go to Halfords and spend approx £100 on Meguirs car cleaning products. Everything from bodywork wax etc to carpet shampoo. Go and buy a set of Goodyear tyres. Mine cost me about £200 for the set of four from a OPC. Doing this will smarten up the car quite a bit. As for the performance do what the other guys say, but also go for a proven reliable chip from ProMaxMotorsport as well as a K&N sports filter. This filter will save you money long term. Also before I forget get someone to buy you a stainless steel exhuast for xmas. Overall you gain an extra few lbs of torque and some more bhp.
 
CVN187Y Thanks for your recommendations. I'm just curious but what is the delivery date of your 924S ? Mine is 23/11/85. Regards
 
Hello dgw, My date is 19th November 1985. Just a few days before yours. Good luck with your car[;)]. Sean

If you'd like to P.M me as I believe I am now the only maker of clear 924/944 Lux fronts [link=http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f11/wolfie308/IMG_2275.jpg]http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f11/wolfie308/IMG_2275.jpg[/link] [link=http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f11/wolfie308/944Frenchclearfronts-1.jpg]http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f11/wolfie308/944Frenchclearfronts-1.jpg[/link] [link=http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f11/wolfie308/944whiteclearfronts-2.jpg]http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f11/wolfie308/944whiteclearfronts-2.jpg[/link] [link=http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f11/wolfie308/French924.jpg]http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f11/wolfie308/French924.jpg[/link] Regards, Richard
 
They don't - I've just spoken to them, but they are interested in taking them from me. I guess they previously came from Turnclear who are no more.

Looking at the promaxmotorsport website they do not seem to have a 924 section, is the chip something you need to phone up for?
 
You need to go to the 944/968 section in blue writing as your 924S has the 944 engine, click on Performance chip in red writing, then you'll see in the table listed with all the 924S through to 968 model years and the required chip that you need. Really easy to install. If you get stuck give me a call. 07931 470368.
