r/Porsche924

I found a 924 on Facebook marketplace. I am by no means a car person and this IS my first car. I’m not even 20 yet it’s only 1500 dollars and it’s having a water pump issue as well as needs its interior fixed up. My dad and boyfriends dads are both mechanics and even though I’ve never found myself interested in learning the more I delve into mechanics before I’m watching people tear these cars apart and build them back up and I am absolutely flippin awestruck. It would be a daily driver which I hear is stupid once I fix it up if I can make it such. I really don’t have a far drive to and from work maybe 15 minutes, and I don’t go anywhere else. Someone tell me whether or not I should do the stupid thing and put all my money into this car or should I save and wait…

Did some diagnosing on my ‘82 and found i have a bad brake booster. Not keen on spending $270 on a new one, so I was wondering if anyone knows of alternatives to the OEM ATE booster? Thanks!

I’m converting a BMW 2002, but always musing about what I would do next. What are your other top prospects?

Hey guys I am new around here I recently bought a 944 without the engine and thought hey put a 350 but it turns out that there would be needing an adapter for the transaxle. So now naturally I am looking for a stock motor for this car can anyone hey me out?

The car ran great last week, but someone wouldn't start tonight.

I tested for spark, it has spark, even jumped the ignition coil so that it would get 12v from the battery

I put starter fluid through the vacuum line port above the fifth injector

I tested compression (125psi on cyl 1, but engine is cold)

I hit the K-Jet with a wooden hammer, and I can tell fuel is getting in there by moving the sensor plate

Fuel pump is priming and there's fuel in the fuel tank

Timing is all good, checked crankshaft, camshaft, and rotor all on time
