Tell me the top five things (or more) you would like to fix on your 924 from minor mods to major fixes.

Here's mine.

1. Squealing alternator belt
2. Driver's door mirror loose
3. Headlight washer motor needs replacing
4. Trim missing from front windscreen edges
5. Rear hatch bolts need adjusting to seal rear tailgate

Ah John, how are you?

You know you have been spoilt by the power of that 944 Turbo Cabrio... []

I have just confimed the purchase of a 924 short engine which will go with my 0.5mm oversize turbo pistons, modifed cam (designed specifially for the turbo engine) and skimmed block (only 0.002"). With the custom made intercooler but the same boost I am realistcally loooking for 210 , as I have already discovered that an intercooled 924t on its own can produce 196 bhp and if I don't get another 14 for the other mods I have wasted my money. The brakes will be overhauled, it will have an almost new gearbox, that I originally put in the "ebay special" and probably the Boxster S wheels too.

I recently (last weekend) replaced the rear hatch seal and it is a snip to fit with out cutting. I suppose the most challenging bit is feeding the rear wiper motor cables back up the conduit and crimping new ends on. I just unscewed one strut at a time and supported the hatch on my head whilst I fed the strut the other side of the rubber.

Mmm top 5 things now there's a challenge i can list so many lol

1) Find out where the rain gets in in the passenger side footwell

2) Find out why only one mirror will adjust through the switch.

3) find some decent black sun visors

4) Have the gearbox refurbished

5) have the wheels balanced and tracked

6) find out why the radio pickes up a clicking noise from the engine

7) Drive it more

8) find a left hand side rubber that goes under the light

9) cure the petrol smell you get when the window is open.

10) fix the headlight washers wireing that burnt out.

I think they are the main things to do nothing serious but all little things that make the driving experience better
