Gerrit, after reinstalling the torsion bars, what did you do to retain them where the previous end cap would have kept them from sliding out?

Kinda cool how accessible it is to run the wires thru the pillar right into the engine bay.

Gerrit, car looks great. Couple of questions, what make is that roof rack and how is it fixed to the roof?

Thank you! The roof Rack is a Harbor Freight unit with out the middle section. I will be making a video on how I made it soon!

Where did you get the rebuild kits from?

@Patty- 11 ай бұрын

I got a kit from 944 online, you can find your exact year and trim. the one i got i paid $17 per caliper rebuild kit, but it did not have teflon pads with it.

Would be 100% job if you would have cleaned and sprayed new paint on them.

Sweet, I was also looking at a bump steer kit from a vw. Really hope it works out bc I want to try the same thing on my Safari. Looking good keep up the good work!

@84reliantk Жыл бұрын

I’ll let you know when it comes in! The one I found was $40, is a tapered bushing. So you drill out the old taper in the spindle and press the new taper in the other way. Hoping it works! It’s coming all the way from Ukraine, so it will take a bit to get here.

yo, kind of a weird fad going on with this. Chassis on 944 not really rugged enough for true off roading

@84reliantk Жыл бұрын

I thought they were fairly stout chassis. Have you seen certain types of failures with them?

@pablopicaro7649 Жыл бұрын

Same ecact type of torsion springs on Vw (since ~1968 IRS) There is pre-load angle and spring K-ratio, to raise car only really need to change preload angle, not make ride stiffer with higher k-spring

Hey thank you for making these videos ! I'm contemplating getting a 944 and maybe safari build it too and thanks to you I have some sort of reference for how to do it and what to expect. I see reading the description that this method of doing it is incorrect, props to you for uploading it anyway, trial and error is a huge part of this kind of projects and still very educational. Maybe just add another disclaimer as a popup on screen because most of us don't properly read descriptions lol. Anyway please continue and I wish you the best !

@84reliantk Жыл бұрын

Hi there! I do not have a real good definitive answer to tire size. I have done some looking around online and come up with the following common sizes people are running. 225 70r15, 215 75 15, 205/70/15. I would recommend doing some more research on this and take some measurements. I will try to go over tire sizes when I get to that stage with my car, it might take a while before I get there. Hope this helps, and best of luck on your build!

@84reliantk Жыл бұрын

@@Berkes944 No problem! If I remember correctly when I had 15's on my 85.5 I was running 215 60 R15 on all 4 corners. I believe stock calls for a 205 in the front and a 225 in the rear if you're running a staggered set up. I ran the 215's on my staggered wheels, I do not remember what tires they were though, just an average tire if I remember.
