Engine videos are awesome and all but this is the content you make that I love. All these little things don't often have a lot of tips and tricks codified in history. Just like your door handle replacement video that saved me hours of not taking off the entire interior door gubbins 😂
@@mr924Sman Yes sir! I avoided showcasing some of these smaller jobs in the early days of the channel, but have come to find people appreciate their interesting nuances. Even though it’s easy to do, there are still useful things to be shared.
@@NC944er as someone who is trying to bring their cheap little porsche back to as close to showroom as possible I can't thank you enough!!
I'm only using your videos to maintain my 944 !!! I've fixed so many things by myself thanks to you and it's so satisfying! Thanks a lot from France! Looking forward to the next ones!
@@Alan1302GL That’s amazing, best of luck! 👍🏼
Another high quality, professional video! Thank you!
As always the best tutorials out there.
its bizarre, every time i go to fix something on the 944, you put out a video tutorial of the job i want to do about a week ahead of time.
@@user-qf8lv6so5s Research shows that 72.6% of all 944s break down at the same time. 😂
Have to do mine thanks for the video!
Awesome videos as usual! You should make a video of just looking around the car and going for a drive. Would love to see the condition of it!
@@HockeyPlayer323 Thanks, I’m actually considering a “ride along” video to discuss the car’s driving characteristics and how the modifications are holding up / performing over time…
@@NC944er You really should! I just got my 944 a few weeks ago and you are so far the BEST source on YT and deem your car the best taken care of. That video would be great to compare to mine to see how it sounds and looks and feels!
My 924S hinge was broken, and the vinyl on the lid came apart. I believe I got the lid from Plyhammer's parts. Basically its an armrest, not much can be stored in there, no longer have a casette deck!
please do DME and steering wheel replacements like you mentioned in you “25 things i’ve replaced” vid :)
@@christiansilva1918 Hey! These processes are mostly covered in my existing MAF Installation and Horn Troubleshooting videos, links below with timing stamps to that specific content.

Club Sport console tray in my 1987 951, 12 years ago. Rewired that whole area when I had the car apart. Took the ashtray light wiring for the radio illumination input and replaced the factory radio connections to the later ISO plugs. Just replaced the Becker Traffic Pro with the Porsche PCCM and it was plug and play for me. Have you checked your radiator fan ballast wiring yet? The wiring is undersized, and the insulation deteriorates creating a fire hazard. Fixing the ends that connect to the resistors isn't enough - it needs to be replaced all the way back to the fuse block. I removed the original wires from the harness when I had it apart and made a separate harness just for those wires.
@@phil6012 Nice, sounds like you have a pretty sweet setup! Thanks for the tip on the fan resistor wiring. I have already replaced the crumbling/oxidized ends below the windshield. I pulled the rubber boot off and cut pretty deep into the harness, where the “protected” wiring was still flexible and intact, so I stopped there. Good to keep an eye on I guess. 👍🏼
@@NC944er Please keep an eye on those. I've been through 3 body 951 harnesses - an '86 and two '87. They all had deterorating insulation inside the wrapped harness and had frayed conductors. I had initially repaired the pigtails that connect to the ballast resistors, but was surprised what I found when I split the harness wrap. My car did have an electrical fire at one point in its life.
Love how clean your car is. What do people do for cup holders in these cars?
@@SpringVinMoto There are a few aftermarket cup holder options that fit in place of the ash tray unit. I’ve also seen people screw larger ones into the right side of the center console, but those will typically damage the console panel and leave holes after removal.
@@NC944er I have the kind the wedges between the passenger seat and the torque tube tunnel. Works fine and doesn't cause damage.
Hi! I've had my 1990 S2 for 24 years now and have had to change the lid twice.
The first time in 2005 and then again in 2020. Here in Germany the shelf life is apparently around 15 years.
Is it due to the temperature differences between Europe and the USA? I don't know... Thanks for the vid!
Best wishes from the Black Forest in Germany
@@VS-16 Nice! 15 years is a pretty good run. Maybe I have been opening mine too frequently. If I leave it closed, it should last forever. 😂
I did a 3d print new console, to grab a wireless charged and usbs, i will upload and share here
@@IsraelSocial Very cool! I’ve seen a couple 3D print ones people have done. Lots of options. Let me know how it turns out. 👍
Just curious. You’ve done a complete restoration on just about everything on your car. That cassette console replacement, does this mean you have a cassette player? I still have cassette player with cd changer and have been thinking of upgrading the stereo to a retro look, but with modern conveniences (eg. Bluetooth, etc…). What is your outlook on this?
@@glow9999 Yeah, mine still has the original Blaupunkt head unit with cassette player. It offers almost no bass with its low output and small 4x6” speakers, but it’s decent enough for when you get bored listening to the car’s orchestra of mechanical sounds. The cassette tape functionality is really retro and cool to have in my opinion, just from a nostalgia perspective. That and having all original equipment maintains value (if that’s important to you), and these OEM radios now sell for about $600 secondhand. As far as the upgrade with modern tech, it depends on how much of a music fan you are. If you love music and have to have access to your favorite tunes at all times and that makes you happy, it’s probably worth the upgrade. I would just hold on to the OEM equipment if you ever plan to sell your car, as some buyers will ask about it.
I was about to do this but then I cheaped out and used black duct tape to make a hinge.
@@trey99ek If the duct tape fails, try some Gorilla Tape. 😂 I don’t blame you, the design fails way too easily and it’s pretty disappointing. This will be my last go ‘round before trying something different…
Is this a 944 turbo?
@@floatypotato6969 Nope, naturally aspirated base model… the center consoles are the same though.
