Description:
It was a fun 3 days, but I've had to park the 944 for now, that steering rack leak is so bad now, it'll run the reservoir dry in 30 minutes |

This was the last pic before it went back into the garage, I've got more parts coming later in the week.

#1, I bet you get asked this a lot, but how are the prices? I've been toying with the idea of buying (externally) rough 944S destined to end in the crusher after some 5 years of motorsport abuse* but my friend called me an idiot (because of supposed part prices).
* Making Porsche Club Poland pussies die of herat attack would be a nice bonus.

#2, Quoted from LTRs previous post, when I asked him if parts were expensive:
In a word, yes. But, if you don't have to pay anyone labor to install them it's not so bad.
For example, that aforementioned steering rack looks like it'll have to be replaced, it's a $990 part,the Clutch/Pressure Plate combo is $1,000, motor mounts are like $90 each, basicaly, take whatever it would cost to get the part in question for a Camaro or a Taurus, and then double it.

#3, Pretty much, the number one killer of these cars is bad clutches, if you aren't a mechanical person, and have to have a shop put one in, it's $3500 to $4000, and on a 20 year old car, that's just not worth it to a lot of people, there's a reason the world is full of parted-out 944's , once those clutches go, the car is a goner in 99% of the cases.

So in a nutshell, I'd be crazy if I bought a 944S instead of E30 325i.

#7, my friend that I mentioned a while back who races a E30 is a testament to it's rock solid reliability. He races with a strict 'replace it if it breaks' policy and has a great time.
