what did you do to your 944 today

Took Friday off to spend Daddy Day with my 7r old daughter which generally means lots of activities around the island, so a good excuse to get "Daddy's posh car" out for a blast (although she does tell me to slow down a fair bit mind). Went over to Marine Drive to bash our Tamiya's and got a free stunt show from Steve Colley who happened to be kicking about. Then on Sunday nipped down south for the golf society season opener with the car drawing lots of attention and comment.
Dropped it off yesterday at the indie for new belts/rollers, water pump, wheel bearing and alignment, and a service. Hopefully back in time for the weekend as we have as few members from Scotland coming over and there's a run out on Sunday morning. Needs a good vacuum first, mats a smidge grubby.

Decided to put the odds and ends on my car to get it road legal again so have taken the paint off the rear number plate lights, new bulbs. Will refit the horn and my little rally car washer bottle and pump. Glove box lid to go on. Then I also need to get to the bottom of what is causing my fans to run on and refit the handbrake components (might duck out of doing all that job could have a go). Cleaned up around the front of the engine the other weekend, been enjoying this stuff fairly cathartic.

Putting the S2 project together after paint, door cards fitted with new JBL speakers, loads of dinitrol applied to the doors and sills which is still leaking out, washed, hoovered and glass cleaned, diffuser to fit along with sill extensions.
Taking the wiper arms off tomorrow to be repainted, wheels to refurb but getting there, this is going to turn into a very tidy S2.
Took my 997 C2S for mot, busy car day

Good man! I took mine to the golf course. Since I got new tyres and no longer have a slow puncture I no longer seem to be depositing stainless steel fragments on the speed bumps on the way in, result!! It would seem proper tyre pressures and the extra 6mm my car has been raised on new treads has done the trick!

Drove about 80ml round trip for lunch with a friend who's looking at a Turbo (but dragging his feet!). Nice clear run on the M40 going, but manic on the way back...glad to get off the motorway on to country roads.

Strange you say this as the sticker put them as a B rating for wet weather. I did some driving on Saturday in the torrential rain which apart from some aqua-planing (which is to be expected when the roads has loads of surface water) I found the grip was pretty good...these tyres still need to be scrubbed in as Im only on the first 100 miles or so.DarrylH said:
Noticed my door cards were absolutely destroyed when removing them to help fit my door handles back on. Decided it would be a perfect opportunity to make some RS style ones. 'Borrowed' some thin ply from work and hacked them up today. Need to order foam and some alcantara. And a door pull in fact. Cost so far £0.
If anyone is interested i'll do a write up once they are finished. I've taken enough photos to explain everything so dont mind making a How-to

Ah nice one! I know you can buy a pair of them on eBay with the straps for £26 or something, but if I can do them cheaper by making my own strap then I might go for them
plus I want to make a tartan strap really anyway!

Washed the S2 and went over it with Mothers brazilian carnuba wax, a mate landed in his minty MK 2 Golf GTI I took him out in the S2 and I think we have another convert (pervert) he could not get over how well it drove with 163 k on it.
Put some BP Super in the turbo and gave her a good run about locally, also,gave the 997 a blast out, I have "Gundo" by pass pipes fitted and a Ramair cold air induction kit fitted when it gets to 4K the sound is absolutely glorious, it also pops and spits on overrun, killed a few flies with it []
24 degrees up here today.......glorious.
Off to the Spa Classic on Wednesday with a few petrolhead mates 2 with 944 Turbos and another with an M3 E30.
Going 4 up in my daily chugged to keep costs down as we are off to the Nurburgring Classic in August which incidentally we have a place available, going over in the classics to this one.

today it was time to pop in and get the front wheels aligned correctly...toe was out which was causing unwanted wear....all 4 wheels were checked....rear will need a little tinkering but that requires booking the car in for a days work.....will have to wait for now.....at least my steering wheel now points straight ahead to match the front wheels, before it was out by around 15 degrees...lol
