My 85 2.5 944 project

[Dsmithmobile]

So I've not been on here for a long time but first came on here when I got my 996 in 2016 which is here http://911uk.com/viewtopic.php?t=111570

then I got the 944 in late 2019.

The 944 had been modded by previous owner Luke and came with momo race steering wheel,Gaz coilovers and re indexed torsion bar and fitted with ssr strahl wheels which kind of look like a design 90 split rim and looked good but had to put my own stamp on it 👍🏼

I so far I have fixed a few small things like the wipers,drivers window,clock and sorted leaky sunroof,adjusted the coilovers slightly and been on three different sets of wheels,fitted some car audio,fitted splitter and put a new reg on it. but loving it and it's retro style 8)

I love that! 8)

Second wheels are my favourite. D90 style.
Is the splitter a proper custom thing or some generic stick on stuff?
Either way it looks good. You don't see many splitters for the non-S2/Turbo bumper.

Thanks,the strahls do look very oem+ but as they were on with the previous owner I needed to make it my own,will no doubt sell them at some point too 👍🏼 And the splitter is just a cheap universal rubber ezlip from ebay and doesn't fit great as there's not much to screw into so it goes a bit rippley but need to fit another and do a better job of it

Looks ace, almost bought a local one very similar when looking at 996's.

The guy still has it with a set of cool Compomotives on. :thumb:

Some really great pictures; I'd love a red 944 - for some reason it's the best colour!

Great car OP, just a tad too low on the front?

Great looking car, glad to see another transaxle on the boards.

I love low cars so don't personally don't think there is a thing as too low 😂
And if you think this is low then don't look at my 996 🙈🤣🤣

Great looking car, glad to see another transaxle on the boards.

cheers 😁

Hi

Nice car, great photos and yes its too low haha. But I tend to like the path of reasonableness and balance in most things, so anything extreme I shy away from.

I was looking longingly at these cars the other day. What does one pay for a half reasonable one?

All the best

There's no such thing as too low 😂😂

But everyone has different tastes I suppose 👍🏼

But as for prices then so many variables to be honest as turbos and s2's will command strong money but then a basic 2.5 can be had fairly cheap but some that look like a steal can be a total money pit so If your considering one then do some research
