New to Porsche, the forum so hi

George beat me to it. Chris will give you discount if you say you're from "the forum" and I don't think he cares about PCGB membership - he'll often give over 10% anyway.

The wheels in the picture are fractionally nicer Boxster ones than the 16" versions you have just now, but you don't actually need to fit Boxtser wheels; you can have nice ones instead! An S2 should have 16" Design 90 wheels:

You could also fit "Cup 1" 17" ones:

Or "Cup 2" though these are 18"

There are also "Cup 3" style which I have never owned that have angled spokes more like the Boxster ones on the red car or various others that will fit, I'm sure others will post pics of wheels they like/own/have seen on 944s. All you need to know is that the offset needed for the 944 changed for 1987 (to allow fitting of ABS brakes) so you can use most Porsche wheels as yours is a later offset car.

Something else that may be of help to you - Porsche publish online .pdf parts manuals for some of the models.

Here's the link to the 944 S2, which for some reason doesn't appear on the web page I've given above.

George, your a legend, thanks for that. Pics of wheels, i think cup 2 if i can find some or design 90's :)

The links are brilliant, especially the 2nd one, thanks again :)
 
If the sills are sound and it goes through an mot at reasonable cost it looks like you may have an absoloute bargain Justin,and the car has certainly cleaned up nicely.
 
Heres hoping cococola :)

I have a feeling its going to need a clutch though, i will prep the car as best i can at home, I am in no rush, then when i think i have done all i can take it for an MOT.

Thanks for all the comments, help and advice people, really appreciate it[:D]
 
Just think what a cracking car you will have at the end of it.......plus you get the fun of sorting it out too![;)]

it has cleaned up very nicely good colour choice I might add that and the seats look like they're in better condition than mine still haven't quite got around to getting mine sorted yet
 
It is a great colour and the seats are the same as mine,when I first shampooed my them they come up great[8D]
 
WOW!! that looks excellent for the money.

Is the clutch just a bit juddery? is it possible that the friction surfaces have been contaminated and just needs some use?

Those wheels are classed as "cup3,s", or turbo twists,, You can pick them up off good old e-bay , for a resonable price...
I agree with Fen about the current wheels... HORRID...[8|][8|]
Glad you aint got the P6000,s....[8|][;)]

If you can get a set of "cup 1,s or 2,s" then i think there better,,, only snag is there dearer., than "cup3,s"...The ones fitted to my S2 are "cup2,s"....See pic on VPCC
 
I am on the lookout for alloys then ;)

The clutch is very juddery, i have a feeling that i have at least one mount gone though, it seems to be worse in reverse.
 
Don't forget the advice Paul gave you about belts. Unless you know they were done only months before the 2 year lay-up then they need done now! You should also get the cam chain checked out to make sure it and/or the sprockets aren't worn or have missing teeth. Either of those things neglected could lose you the engine.
 
I'd go so far as to suggest that even if the belts were replaced just before the layup, I'd still be changing them as a priority. Rubber belts sitting around a sprocket for that amount of time, without moving, will begin to deform to the shape that the belt was held in. This can cause the belt to jump resulting in, as Fen said, a wasted engine and a very expensive repair.

Thanks guys, i will get them done as a matter of priority. What should i be paying for all the belts and chain to be done ?
 
Belts (timing and balance) with new rollers will be about £400 fitted. The chain is more tricky as it involves removing the cams - about £500 if it needs doing. The chain itself is £12 [8D]
The chain is kept tensioned by a hydraulic tensioner that has two nylon 'slippers' over which the chain runs. With time, these become brittle and / or get a groove worn into them. Worth changing as it's an easy job. The slippers are £15 each (x2) and you also need to replace the seals and cover gasket at the same time. About £70 for all the bits.
 
Brilliant, cheers xenon. I take it you can you tell if the chain needs doing without stripping out the cams ?
 
Difficult to say. You may certainly spot any missing teeth from the sprockets (not uncommon, apparently) and you may also see if the chain is lashy (i.e. stretched) but other than that it may be difficult to spot any problems. If you have no evidence of it being changed in 133k miles, I'd be inclined to change it. It's a shame the chain is endless and not split, otherwise it could be changed without removing the cams.
