SoundBoy4's 1988 Porsche 944


Here is my '88 Porsche 944. I bought it over four years ago and of course it's been nothing but good times ever since. Somehow I was able to buy a Porsche for my first car ;) I'm a junior in college and it's still just as much fun driving it now as it was when i bought it. When i bought it it was in decent shape, but i've spent a lot of time and money into getting this car to run and feel like new. This is what it looked like a couple of days after i bought it, the last owner had sold a lot of parts of the car, so at this point the car had gotten a major tune up. I had replaced the rusty rip-off exhaust they had stuck in there with a stock one from a 951 and i had gotten the rims re-alloyed.

By this time i had tinted the windows, just to the legal limit though. It's dark enough so that i don't get 2nd degree burns every time i jump in my car but is light enough so that people still see who's driving. The calipers are red too, though you can't really tell in these pics.

Here's some pics of the 944 next to dad's bimmer, i could have taken that car but i chose to buy the 944 instead...does that make me crazy? It had 17" rims, a new computer chip , and a new air filter, and it was really clean. Automatic too.

So i ended up buying the 944, dad sold the BMW and bought himself an '86 911 with only 31k miles. He has his own site which is in the links section up top. It's the link called "Dad's911." Man this thing was beautiful.

Two pics of a get together with some of the folks from the Rennlist.com forums in Charlotte. Saw some of the nicest 944s in my life there.

Really beautiful 944 you have there! I've always loved 944s and I plan on getting one in a few years and keeping it as a collector/show car. Check out my Formula when you get a chance.

Nice 944! I have a 86 n/a 944.
I got a question about the vtx inhaler,Did you feel a horsepower increase when you first put it on? And would you suggest getting one?

Nice ride man. You made the right choice going with Porsche. I wish my dad would trade his BMW X5 on a 911. I have a 74'911S project going on down in Kinston. Check it out.
