What's better than an 89 Honda Civic Hatchback?

Loquat15's 1985 Porsche 944


Ah yes, a Porsche 944 is. It's an 85, bought it for $3,500, I've upgraded the shocks, bought tires, replaced a few leaky seals, and even changed the camber on the front and rear tires.

I like the front end of this car, it just looks cool. The way the body flares around the wheels looks quite spiffy.

The guy who had the car before me had a crappy paint job (you cant tell by the pics), they didnt even put the Porsche and 944 Decal back on. At least the car came with the center 944 peice between the tail lights. Didn't work when I first got the car, I looked at the wiring inside of it and it's all rusty. It's fixed, but I'm going to totally redo it all.

Future Mods:
New motor. The I4 that's in there is nice and all, but it'd be much nicer with a v8. I just have to save up my money and i'll be able to afford the conversion kit for it. I'm sure the car would run under 16's then for sure.

What would the motor be?
A GM 350ci LT1 out of either a Camero or a Firebird. Year of motor, im thinking around 97 because it's built differently and it's got the OBDI2 which i could modify myself. For everything that I am going to want to do, it'll cost about 9 grand.

nice 944... my exhaust is loud too sound more muscly than most muscle cars.. lol but have you ever tested the top end? i have been 130 with a passenger like nothing... im thinkin ill be able to hit around 145 150 and i have hardly any mods... maybe even faster... i was only at 4700 rpms... why are you putting a v8 into a porsche??? i hate that!!! if you do... at least use a 928t engine... then it will still be a porsche... not a gm.. check out my 944 and let me know what you think.
