Pulled this out today to send it to have the radiator and coolant flow tested. The gauge is reading very hot but the mechanic checked it and said it’s running standard temp. Thermostat, water pump etc all changed recently.
It might just be faulty sensors, so if the check shows temps are fine I’ll order new sensors.
Also put my 944 Reg on it recently.

I think it’s time to move this on, I just don’t see me getting the time to use it.
If anyone is interested please drop me a PM

Love a 944, always been my favorite porsche sine I was like 9.
There used to be a black 944 Turbo with black leather interior that sat outside a local sportswear business I'd walk past every day on my way to and from primary school and admire, the steering wheel and dash looked like the coolest things ever way back then (I was used to looking at the dashboard on a Nissan bluebird my aunt took me our in) the company it sat outside was Ace Sportswear, its Reg was ACE 944T. The 944 has long gone but they'll reg is on his cayenne now.
If I had the funds I'd totally be tempted drop you a dm and start living a childhood dream lol

Ironically I used to own that exact Turbo, @richie_mck and I bought it as a project off Alan McGookin of AMG Specialist Cars, then when it was finished I bought Richie’s half and enjoyed it for a while.

I do miss that car, and I’d say it hasn’t turned a wheel since you sold it

Pulled the ads as I had nothing but annoying tyre kickers, so I’ve been enjoying a few outings in this recently.

I only had the front seats reupholstered during the restoration to see if I liked the houndstooth. Rear seats are perfect but the centres are pin stripe cloth so don’t match the fronts.
I want to get the rears done over the winter when it’s in storage, but I’m not sure whether to get them done in houndstooth to match the fronts, or get the whole lot done in Pasha.
Current fronts in Houndstoot:
