good! i would say that a 951/52 late car is a better car. less engine in the front-half the v8. the v8 is great for brute force in a straight line. 944 looks better too....928 is a bit weird. land shark. whole design is odd. i'm biased owning a 944....

Thank you, I got lean bank 1 and 2 codes and misfire cyl 3, and before I conduct the smoke test, I suspect the CCV already. Never been changed, 200k kms. Valve cover gasket was changed this year so that's ruled out (most likely), dipstick not clogged, for the rest maybe intake boots. Also losing some oil (but not burning excessive or exhaust codes), also no oil leak from valve head.
@DepreciationNation24 күн бұрын
It’s always most likely the CCV. I just did another one on a 2005 X3 over the weekend and it cleared up my misfires and lean codes. If it hasn’t been replaced, replace it along with intake boots, Dipstick O-Ring, throttle body gasket, and your Idle Control Valve grommet.

@@DepreciationNation Thanks, I hope that will fix it. I'm a novice so have to have a guide on me and a day off! Also, the crankcase leaks some oil from the bolts, everything above the gasket is dry. So probably have to have that done at a garage as I don't have engine suspender.

The music is way way too loud, leaving the video and won't be back, as it's obvious just way too amateur of a production, but to be helpful.....the music has to be turned down, but it's a red flag big time that you have to be told that and couldn't figure that out for yourself just by ONE TIME watching your own video and rather than admiring oneself just be objective and realize...hey....I can't even hear what the heck is being said without literally getting a headache from the disjointed and poorly chosen and way too loud audio?

My dad bought a Beck in Santa Clara CA in 1989 from the Beck dealer at the local gas station. A few years later when he had moved to Menlo Park he had a get together with other locals at his home, 4 or 5 Becks present. Dad was proud that he finagled a real Beck bonnet emblem away from Chuck.

Add factory (look) navigation. Get ready to replace front lower control arms. Keep an eye on coolant level weekly. It is fast. It is not quick. Know the difference. 145 mph is a fast top speed. 0-60 mph in 7.8 seconds is not considered quick anymore. 22 mpg is pretty good. It would be so much (15%) better with a modern six or eight speed transmission.

He was just completing car #75 and gave me a thrilling fast ride it his own car with a racing VW motor in it. I came back later and he was building his 911 powered car with a double tubed chassis. Great guy and I'm happy to see he and his son are doing well.
