Nice mods! But noooo, this car is way too nice to destroy it on Autocross. It's such a cool classic. Anyways, you do you with your money. Have fun and enjoy it! Greets from a fellow 944 (S2) owner!

Thank you for watching, and very cool you’re a fellow 944 owner!! Rest assured, zero 944s were harmed on this channel haha. In fact, it did 5 events this year and did so like a champ!

Love the video. I'm also building an 86 944 for autocross. However, I will have mudflaps.

That's awesome! Keeping it stock? Or you going all out with suspension and such? Haha unfortunately, mudflaps are not an option with the tire size I'm running.

@FunAhead_TV_Official tire size is actually how I came across your channel. The 9ntention eight now is to get it back to a reasonable state. Need a few body panels and it's missing parts of the interior and the entire exhaust. It'll likely be suspension and the MAF sensor upgrade after that.

Another great, useful post, David! Always wondered if the poly bushes really did that much and now I know. Always heard they can be rough for everyday driving though. What do you think about that? I think you need to vac your ceiling fan - it's really starting to bug me! 😡 🤪 -Tom

Thanks Tom!! It seems like so far the bushings don’t negatively effect street driving too badly. The only situation is if I hit a bump with one side of the car then it definitely transfers more into the cabin, but it’s not uncomfortable. Overall, it’s still very softly sprung relative to modern cars

And also, many apologies about the ceiling fan 😂😂 I’ll clean it just for you!

The American bumper is ugly. You can change it for the European version or the turbo version.

Yeaa, it really wasn’t a great era for US market cars. Agreed, it’s ugly, but doesn’t bother me enough.

Both of those changes require modification to the US front end. The turbo bumper, fenders, and headlights are slightly different I believe so you have to modify the shock towers and fenders. The Euro bumpers require shock tower changes as well I believe.

Much better look tho! I believe I will be doing that modification in the future

@@ShopDogGarage mine is European, and yes, the fog lights are different, and the interior dash and fenders do not have directional lights, but it is original European and is much more aesthetic

@@ShopDogGarage I can make a fiberglass replica of my bumper, beacouse I work on it, and sell it to you, but I live in playa guanacaste costa rica. I think you are in the USA, so it's complicated.

Too bad you are so class limited with suspension upgrades. These cars really come alive with with stiffer springs, torsion bars, shocks and at least some turbo sway bars.

I believe it; it’s incredible how differently the car behaves by just simply swapping the bushings out. Amazing cars!

Hey Funahead! Great call with the powerflex bushings I LOVE those things. Incase you change your mind about the drop link to the chassis bushings, here’s my video from a while ago with the part numbers! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqC4YpKee6t8ZpIsi=qSDAPTC8CLG511JT I went with the street bushings and I don’t remember if they make those drop link bushings in the race compound but at least it should give you the option to replace em in the future if you like! Good luck and can’t wait to see the results from the next race!

@FunAhead_TV_Official 5 ай бұрын

Thanks! And thank you very much for watching! I appreciate you letting me know. I do want to swap out the other ones at some point. It’s amazing how noticeable of a change some simple bushings can make

@@FunAhead_TV_Official my passenger side went out on me on my way home from work one day, 20 years of power steering fluid dripping on it. I’m one shock away from a complete suspension overhaul but those powerflex bushings even on stock suspension made a world a difference really sharpened up the steering response for sure. Are you allowed to run a strut brace???? I’ve never used one so I’m curious what that would do for the car as well. Loved the auto cross content can’t wait to see more!
