Welcome to /POG/, the place to ask questions or shitpost about past, current, or future P-car purchases or work. Or post pictures, you know, whatever.
"What used Porsche can I afford?"
(Prices reflect 100% sorted cars)
>Air Cooled 911?
$30k+ 964
$50k+ 993
>Water Cooled 911?
$20k+ 996
$30+ 996
$60k+ 991

>$5000 N/A
>$10,000 Tarbo
*Disclaimer: You can buy a 944 for under a grand, but the overwhelming consensus in the community is that sorted cars cost ~$5k... so if you buy that car for under a grand when you're done it'll be around or over $5k. YMMV.

Rear-facing baby seat fits in the 991 with full use of the latch system. IE, perfect family car.

No thanks
OP, what Porsche (assuming you own one) do you drive?
>>15128588
I only have to do it once a week. Not too big of a deal unless you're lolverweight or a manlet. Puts the baby to sleep almost immediately.
>>15128612
I own an '84 944 that is undergoing track prep, but have driven and worked on my dad's 911's for years. he's currently got a 997S.

>>15128645
Thank you kindly, how do you like the 997 S? Is it a 997.1 or 997.2? Manuel or Notomatic?
>>15128458
Should add the Boxsters and Caymans
$7k+ 986
$14k+ 986 S
$20k+ 987 (+$2-5k for Cayman)

>Fiata with a tune
>>15130243
Thank you.
>>15130360
:^)
>>15130314
Crap you're right sorry about that.
>>15130346
You're right, the one for poorfags, but only because it's a track car build. I looked at spec 986 but 2$$4me to prep and race competitively
>>15130312
997.1 S with the 3.8 and 6 speed manual.
Genuinely better than the 996 he had, but that's not to say the 996.2 is a bad car. It's just that Porsche paid attention and solved a lot of little issues between those generation.
Best advice I've been given about sports cars is to buy the absolute best you can afford, so instead of the 997.2 carrera he looked at he opted for the 997.1 S with sport exhaust and Chrono package.
>>15130633
Yeah those spec racing costs scare me even though my car is eligible
>accusump and deep sump kits are $1500+
>Bilstein suspension overhaul is $3000
>custom fibreglass hardtops match suspension costs
I've seen spec conversions quoted at like $30k when you provide a donor car
>>15130676
Exactly. Most people who do the work themselves (aside from the cage) spend around $25k. A winning, log booked spec 944 is at worst $12-$15k to buy turnkey, or $8-$10k to build. So I'll be busy racing that while I save for a 911.
Speaking of 986s, why the hell does the 5 speed need this retarded overpriced bit to drain the tranny oil when the more expensive 6 speed uses a regular ass 10mm hex bolt?
>>15131271
Porsche loves those triple square bits. I bet your cv's use the same style. I've seen them on 944s and 911s as well.
>>15130649
Nice. I was looking at 997.2 S 6MT with SPASM, Sport Chrono, Exhaust, Carrera S wheels, Full Leather, and a few other options, but then I bought a house.
A few months into owning the house I couldn't find a similarly optioned example anywhere, found pic related and was able to get a very reasonable deal on it. Couldn't afford the 991.1 S, they're all $20k over budget and the prices are moving glacially slow.
In a few years I'll probably start looking for a blue 991.1 Targa GTS to replace it provided their prices come down just a bit.
>>15131271
>>15131335
Two words: German Engineering
>>1513137
Oh hell yes, that targa is sexy af
Thankfully Porsche is consistent about updates so in the next couple of years they should come down nicely.
>>15131420
Forgot pic
Any love for the 924s? Or do you guys not consider them Porsches? This is my super humble underpowered german machine.
My shitbox $200 944 comes in on Friday, im kinda hyped.
>>15131513
I think a few people here have them, and I believe those VW van engines respond well to modifications
>>15131669
So I've heard, though to be honest I'm not super fussed about the power. (I have a supersports bike). Driving it is just so raw and balanced. Premium delicious drive. I can only imagine how fantastic the 911s and newer models are.
>>15131542
Are you restoring it? Or just refurbishing? Pics?
>>15131870
If the engine ever decides to give up on life, you could swap it for an Audi I5. You could even go full madman and turbo the fucker.
>>15131513
Of course you're welcome here.

This is one of the less appealing 911's for me. And I like classic 911's.
All 911 targas have completely removable roofs.
>>15141597
Yes, there's various types of targa roofs.
What do you think, /POG/?

Pretty sure this is the damage here
How hard is it to replace the clutch on a 944? never done such a thing to a transaxle. How long/ what tools does a semi-competent guy like me need?
>>15142685
Book hours are 16, I would expect to spend a lot of that if its your first time. It's not complicated there's just a lot to do.
Disconnect the transmission in the back and remove, then disconnect torque tube from the bell housing and slide back enough to get the bell housing off to do the clutch. Of course this is one of those "while you're in there" things so check out your torque tube and cv's etc.
Have a look at clarkes garage for a step by step
One day...
>>15142265
Yup, that's a dent
At $5k that's starting to approach Boxster prices
>>15142265
The paint looks damaged. My car had a small dent but the paint was ok so the repair was cheap and it didn't needed any paint job.
>>15142978
Not sure if a 944 is similar to a 928. But with a 928, there is no need to move the transmission or torque tube. There is a coupling in the torque tube shaft just behind the bell housing that can be slipped back to clear the clutch. The bottom half of the bell housing can be removed and this gives sufficient clearance to unbolt the pressure plate and remove it and the discs. The flywheel can also be removed. It takes me about 4 or 5 hours lying under my car in the garage, cursing.
>>15144198
Interesting, when I did it I just pulled the trans because everyone says you have to in order to get the TT out of the way.
928's also have the rear mounted trans right?
I would expect less space on those so I guess it's worth a shot.
>>15144287
>928's also have the rear mounted trans right?
Yes. Check for that splined coupling just behind the bell housing. And if the bell housing has an access cover on the bottom.
I've never worked on a 944. But they were designed (actually the 924 platform) at the same time as the 928. The 928 clutch is easy to remove. I had to pull mine when it ate the throwout bearing and the release lever pivot ball.
Have you guys ever had to replace your hood badge? Where is the best place to get a genuine replacement from? Pelican?
>>15144935
How you lose your hood badge?
And fleaBay I guess. Find a silver one, they look neat assuming your car isn't also silver
>>15144982
The guy I bought it off said he had taken it off many years ago for fear of someone else knicking it and doesn't know where he's stored it. He says he'll keep having a look around for it but I'm not holding my breath.
Silver would look pretty sweet you're right.
>>15144982
Not the other guy, but it could just be chipped or scratched. The colored crests on my wheels are peeling slightly.
>>15145268
>>15145261
Don't mind me, didn't refresh quick enough.
Alright
How much would it be to buy a 944 and throw in an engine I can rely on like a 4age
>>15145279
If you're asking you probably can't pull it off
You'll need a custom bell housing, custom wiring, and you'll need to do your own fab work to mount the engine
Take a look at Tom's Turbo Garage videos on the LS3 powered Miata build to get an idea of how much work you really have to do
And he did a popular swap that had a kit to make things easier

Must be some leak somewhere.
This would make sense if I hadn't gotten a good portion of the old fluid out before it stopped being responsive.
Fucking hell.

Sure for an early US auto model. You'll find prices quickly skyrocket once you leave the early 80's, and into the 90's they're all over the place and insane.

>>15146893
How well do these do as rally cars? I always figured they'd be too low, and the Boxster has a rather long wheelbase too
How should i rice my 944?
and by rice i mean tastefully customize.
Thinking about ordering new orange LEDs for the dash/interior.

>>15131513
I have two and also a 911. At times I can have more fun in the 924 Turbo than the 911.
That feel when you own a 16V 944S.
That feel when faster than a 944, but not as fast as a Turbo.
That feel when everyone forgets you exist.

>>37345393
OK I'm looking into scooping a 944
How hard to find / expensive are parts from 1 - 10
How easy is it to do maintenance and upgrades to yourself 1 - 10
What are the best mods to do first
Can it be a dd
Thanks for the (you)s m/o/ngaloids
>>15155430
Seeing this made me realize the Boxster was intended as a spiritual successor to the 550, and not an entry level midlife-crisis mobile.
>>15156621
I try not to let the average driver change the car for me, it's still an underpowered but fantastic handling mid engine roadster
I must be the only one who doesn't hate the Panamera.
![paris-2012-porsche-panamera-sport-turismo-shooting-brake-live-photos_2[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/Z2uRA45.jpg "paris-2012-porsche-panamera-sport-turismo-shooting-brake-live-photos_2[1].jpg")
>>15156727
I don't hate it, the ass just looks too fat.
Seems that'll get fixed soon though, by making it even fatter but more in proportion somehow.
>>15156621
It is what it was supposed to be. Porsche is a sell out. They will use the brand to fill the market demands. But at least they won't die that way.
>>15156727
I don't hate it. I just don't appreciate the idea of it and I don't enjoy looking at it.
I have an old car magazine with the first Audi RS6 on the cover. The headline says ''Four door Porsche''. Get it? It's a sporty German car with four doors and there is no Porsche with four doors. Sadly this this headline soon lost it's humor when the Cayenne happened.
>>15156840
And it has four seats, right?
>>15156860
>four seats
Looks like that from photos, it's a better proportioned Panamera with a bigger trunk and there ain't nothing wrong with that.
Also, about Audi and "four door Porsches": Porsche helped tune the RS2, but insisted it'd be available as a wagon only because a sedan or coupe version would eat their sports car sales.
>>15156860
How dare a company make money and not go bankrupt
>>15156885
For some reason the four seat fact bothers me. It's a four door sedan but technically it can hold the same amount of people like the first Porsche models. Yes, I'm aware of the comfort factor. I own a hatch coupe and it seems to be more practical than the practical version of Porsche. Four seats gives the maximum comfort (a bit less leg room tho) and it has the fifth seat as the extra option if you need to fit more people.
>>15156909
I didn't say that I have a problem with that. I just don't enjoy those cars. Well, the newer ones. I like 924/944's.
I red that the head of Ferrari replied to an idea of a Ferrari version of SUV with ''over my dead body''. Totally not a Ferrari fan but I like that they have their backbone.
>>15155430
What went wrong...
>>15155430
>>15157100
The ''Cayman complex''. These cars can't seem too good for their role in the market so they wouldn't compete with the top shelf models.
>>15157143
The Ruf 3400S was a non-gimped 986 Boxster with the 3.4l from the 996 Carrera and it beat the shit out of the 911s at the time save for the Turbo
I need to save up for my own conversion
>>15157215
I've never found those Ruf wheels appealing.
Will you change the engine?
>>15157256
The engine is the main thing I'm interested in. I'm going to keep my Cup 1 wheels if I can get away with the factory Brembos with the added power
So far the checklist for the big things is:
>3.4l M96 Carrera engine w/ direct oil feed for IMS bearing
>3rd radiator install kit
>996 ECU/DME flash
>6 speed Boxster S transmission w/ LSD retrofit
>ROW M030 suspension
>996 instrument cluster /w flash to fix mileage
So many ideas, so little money
I just bought a 83' 944 for $1,000. It's not running at the moment and I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with it. I'm not much of a mechanic but my friends are and I'm very willing to learn.
The interior isnt the best but I don't really mind, I figure I can get the seats redone or just get covers. The exterior has very little rust and the engine doesn't have much rust at all either.
>>15157564
>CIS
>not running
Consult your local German Car Witchdoctor
>>15157564

>>15157812

>>15157835
Scum that needs to die
>>15157564
welp, welcome to the club. when you hit a roadblock ask here as there are quite a few of us with 44's who've been through the process. Get familiar with clarkes-garage.com, rennlist, pelican, 944online, etc.
get ready to do a water pump and timing belt/balance belt change unless you have proof of it being done within the last 4 years/30k miles.
buy a cheap DME Relay right now and swap that out with the one in the car. under the dash. it's a pain in the ass to reach.
good luck, don't let people scare you away from the car.
>>15157942
*3 years/30kmiles
>>15157942
Thanks for the tips! I knew this car would need some work even after I got it running. Work every 30-40k isn't a turn off to me, I'm actually looking forward to knowing everything about my car and working on it often.
>>15157835
Continuous Injection System
Basically the intake moves the big metal plate which mechanically controls how much fuel is being pumped into the engine. The injectors aren't times with the engine at all and are always injecting fuel
It's pretty ghetto and kills performance since the only electrical component is the fuel pump. You can convert your car to electronic fuel injection for more power and better fuel economy
>>15158064
How much would a conversion cost? If I could save more money on gas and gain some performance as well, I don't see why I wouldnt.
Also I don't have much tools, I have a set of metric wrenches, some ratchets, and screwdrivers. What tools should I get first? Just buy the ones that I need for the current problem I'm on?
>>15158108
I have no idea, but a lot of people use Megasquirt and get a new ECU. I've also seen conversions using fuel rails from Honda K series engines
Realistically look at spending well over $1k to modernize the fuel delivery system
>>15157638
>>15157812
>>15158064
This is not what's in a 944. They are in 911s and you are right they are a huge pain in the ass.
A 944 has a fuel rail and injectors, that's it.
Did I just get trolled?
>>15158461
I only have experience with 911s, so I assumed the 944 would have CIS like the 911s from the era when the others mentioned it
>>15158064
bmw did it so much better
>>15158108
>tools
Everything is metric and yea I'd just add stuff as you need it. The only Porsche specific tools I have are for the suspension.
Assuming you have a jack and jack stands the only other things I can think of are a multi-meter and breaker bar.You will eventually have a tool collection for that car so save your money for parts/upgrades.
>>15158486
No worries I was just confused. Those systems scare the piss out of me.

two weeks ago someone from salzburg had a 924 turbo listed for 4k
pretty sure the engine was dead.
wasn't really feeling driving 300km each way just to check it out though. by now it sold though and I'm disappointed.
I wonder, is a 944 a better idea in yurop? I mean, I know Porsche markup is a much bigger thing on the other side of the atlantic, and you're required to keep your car in decent condition here because lol inspections, so the moneypit potential would be a lot less, right?
>>15159977
Bet that it wasn't so clean.
>>15159988
You have to really like the car to buy it. I think that the decent ones will start from 7k. I assume that we are talking about the €uro part of EU.
>>15160019
I see. Looks like they'll be out of my price range for a while.
>>15158064
I'm doing this on a 924 Turbo which has CIS, I'm starting with the ignition but next will be EFI, all running on a megasquirt. If you do all the work, I'd say budget at least $1000. Once I'm done I think I might be close to $2000 Canadian with a full ignition/EFI conversion. You can save money at places using parts salvaged from the junkyard or can chose to buy new/custom built.
>>15160042
Yeah, same for me.

So was Wernher von Braun and Oskar Schindler. What's your point? Was he a murderer? Of course he was in the nazi party. Everyone was. At that time you got two options: support them or disappear with all of your family by an ''accident''. So logically these people did the best they could with the situation they were in.
>>15166808
The while point was the Jew gold troll image makes no sense in this context

It's non-OEM. It was originally red but someone had it resprayed at some point.
>>15128458
Anyone with a 86 944 Turbo? looking for production numbers so i can find my cars family members.
One day I hope to own a 550 Spyder replica, hopefully it doesn't end up like this

the spaceframe is the rollcage
>>15171786
oh shit i fucked it up
>>15171786
>>15171799
I just wondered what track inspectors think of space frames having a more distrusted strength
I figure most times they prefer a standard geometry roll cage to be in place
>>15171824
yeah it prob depends on how good the rollcage is, but if you buy a nascar chassis and just ut the bodypanels above it i don't think they will give you trouble
Why did I decide to do a summer semester? I should have stayed home so I could cruise at night
>>15136091
>>15171874
That looks perfectly safe
yo
>>15171759
That's the car the sausage guy died in right?
>>15172744
You're thinking of another James Dean
>>15163997
And this 991 is?
>>15172887
Didn't even notice that lel
>>15128458
>friend has 968
>eventually will turn it into racecar
>has to pay for 22k MurkaBux kitchen so wife won't kill him for having it in addition to 996C4S
>probably won't be racan with him for 3-5 years
Well shit. And I don't have the income and I have too many projects already to get my own.
>>15169794
I have an 86 turbo
>>15172972
>grey with phonedials
You have good taste.
>>15172978
Hah I'd love to take credit, the previous owner had the phone dials painted the same color as the car. I loved it as soon as I saw it
>>15173009
>dat ass on left
>dat scooby on right
How much fucking money do you have?
>>15173034
No where near enough ha. The wrx is my cousins and the 911 is just a little 996 carrera 4
Is this a good price for this car? I saw it parked yesterday.
>>15173063
Ah. Wing threw me; made me think GT-something or turbo.
>>15173079
Yea it has a factory option gt3 body kit. >>15173074
That price isn't to bad if the car has a real good documented history. A couple of grand more though you might find an sc coupe
>>15173074
saw one of this in person and it became my favorite porsche and my favorite car that always hides behind my mind.
>>15172793
:^)
>>15173096
>sub-30k is a fair price for a classic 911
>mfw I'll be able to afford that in a few years
Oooh boy I'm going to have to get some classes on how to drive RR fast.
>>15173274
That's actually a pretty good deal. The targa prices seam to have gone up since I last looked. I just saw one with 109k miles going for 29
>>15173274
>Three years ago
>see 76 or so 911 (forgot which flavor, but not a top trim one) on CL in Nevada
>15k MurkaBux
>last year
>see ad for same year, trim, condition, similar miles (not same car)
>30k MurkaBux
Welp. I'm not ever going to have a classic 911 unless I win the fucking lottery or get a "project" of a 912. And that doesn't even count.
>>15173305
That's fine. I don't ever go really fast when I'm driving, so I'd be fine with whatever flavor I can find from that era. Hell, I'd be fine with even a 911T. I just love the way they look, and even a "slow" one will be quick and handle like nothing else on the road.
>>15173412
It seems fun driving those old porsche. I jizz my pants whenever i see one
>>15173380
tbqh I think that first one was an aberration. I don't think decent-quality 911s have gone for less than 20 grand in decades. They've always held their value exceptionally well.
Spotted a GT3 last month when I was visiting my parents, no idea why it was in the suburbs
>>15174501
Oh right, anyone heres going to buy the Lego gt3?
>>15173412
I think cars with good acceleration and handling cover up sloppy driving
where as with older cars you pay much more attention to not loosing speed or rushing the car though different changes in state
>>15174515
>$300
Jesus fuck, that's eBay muffler money
>>15174563
I was thinking of that too. Poorfag like me will never get one...
>>15174563
>$300 exhaust
Someone buy this and post results please
>>15174597
>Canadian dollar in the toilet
>high shipping costs
>even higher importing fees
I would if it didn't cost over $500 for a chink muffler
>>15174515
I want it soooooooo bad, too bad I'm a fucking poorfaggot.
whats up best thread on /o/?
newer guy here, looking to get into porsche. I am looking at 996's or 987's or possible a 986 (but I don't like them as much)
I like convertibles and manual transmissions, but I could do a hard top or targa top 996.
Where is my best bet to look for a used porsche?
>>15175644
Do you want a newer interior or can you live with the old interior? Do you care about the "Cayman complex"?
If you want the newer Boxster, make sure it's an S, the regular cars are just too slow
>>15175689
I can live with the old interior. What is the cayman complex?
>>15175807
The Cayman complex is an inferiority complex over buying a lesser car than the 911
Drive them both, mid engine and rear engine cars drive completely differently
>>15175689
>>15175807
>>15175881
>Cayman complex
Basically what Porsche did was build a better car and then nerf it by power and by differential (read: no limited slip unless you pay through the nose). Have to protect the 911 marque from the untermensch, of course.
>>15176900
Also "durr couldn't afford a 911"
>>15176911
Right now I can't (or rather shouldn't) afford a sorted 944, but had I the means, I'd have a rather much nicely optioned Cayman S or GTS.
I have zero body work experience.
How possible is it to push this back out
>>15177005
That's a very tricky spot, I doubt you could get to it from behind. If so the you can hammer it back. If not you might need one of those pullers the spot weld pins into the metal then are pulled out by a cross screw a la edd China
Update on the $200 944. Engine runs, but drive doesnt move the car.
>>15176900
>>15175881
thanks guys, I don't have the Cayman complex, and now that you explain it I know exactly what it is and ive seeen it before. I have driven the boxster a lot and autocrossed it and I love it, but I haven't driven the 996. Whichever one I get will be autocrossed occasionally (my miata will become a dedicated autocross car)
>>15177702
Clutch.
Can you put it in first and rev with no movement?
Anyways it's a big job but not difficult.
finally took a pic with my real camera, now you guys can see a rattle canned 44.
Soon it will be white. Soon.
>>15177702
>>15177728
Hold up I take that back
>drive doesn't move
So it's an auto?
Just popping in to say this is nice thread.
Stay comfy.
>>15177678
Do you have a vid or something describing the second half of your post because I have no idea what that was even about lol
>>15174597
I'd volunteer to be a guinea pig if shipping and import costs to Canada weren't so ridiculous
Sounds great though:
https://youtu.be/BHHrO4bF63A
https://youtu.be/RDPLkazVSfc
Maybe I'll try headers first? They're cheaper and the 2.5l cars don't have pre-cats built into the factory parts to worry about
>>15179036
http://youtu.be/azJKG4VNt3o
You'd need to find somewhere to rent something like this. You would have to do pretty major paint repair afterwards unfortunately.
That being said have you had a look too see if you can get behind the dent?
https://youtu.be/ohyOA6DwcLo
Apparently the fuel door is supposed to lock with the doors for my car
>>15177769
Yea unfortunately. Any idea for a fix though? Reverse works fine but all the drive gears won't work.
>>15179725
Drive backwards ;^)
>>15179725
Idunno that sounds like either linkage or something internal to the gearbox. I would put the rear on jack stands and have a look around. Check out clarkes-garage.com
Post comfy.

>>15179725
Maybe God is telling you to swap in a manual transmission?
So ive never driven a porsche before, and I would like to bring pride to our glorious capitol of Stuttgart by riding a 944 into battle. The problem is, I drive a Miata. It's a delightful car, but it's just dreadfully fucking slow. I don't want to spend money modifying it when I could potentially just get a better car... Should I do it guys?? I'm not asking if >is 944 a good first car XDxD
Just whether the best thread on /o/ thinks I should find one to trade for
>>15182878
Just get a 944 turbo. The N/A 944 and the miata are the same car.
>>15182878
Boxster S if you can stretch your budget
>>15182878
As one who's driven (not owned, but driven), a Cockster, a 944, a NB (both tarbu and stock, plus suspension; this is what I do own), a 300 HP NA, a 968, and a 928, the 944/968 feel heavier, a tad more solid, and "slower" because of the higher mass/larger footprint. However, I fucking loved driving every one of them, and the 924/944/968 with the 2.7 or 3.0 will be just fine. Plus, dat sweet, sweet hatch (which will squeak dreadfully unless it's adjusted properly/has a good seal).
