Porsche 944 NEW EARLY FACTORY DASH

[@captaincoyote1792]

Man says “I’m going to the bathroom for some alone time with this dash”! I am still laughing! After 5 combined decades in the Navy and federal law enforcement, how I do miss that kind of “guy” humor! Anyway, I’m a proud owner of a 1990 944S2 Cabriolet, with slightly less than 70k on the clock. Suddenly, i have the inexplicable urge to go out to the garage and tell my dash how much I love her! Great video, gentlemen! Bravo-Zulu….well done!

[@timcomeau420]

THX. I'm an ol' beat sailor as well. Glad you liked it.

[@JVR_Funwithdesign]

There is nothing that takes an old car up a whole new level than a perfect dash.

[@timcomeau420]

True. That, and the shift lever boot, steering wheel

[@thomashumber9762]

A shop like yours in the UK would be heaven for me... glad you are a 4 cyl transaxle specialist!! like I always say...if you dis a 944 it is because your have never owned one!! MY FAVORITE CAR IS A 944 PERIOD.

[@timcomeau420]

We're introducing as many people to these 944 types as we possibly can!

[@jonjon5308]

I hope they figured out the plastic compound

[@Russell_and_Rosko]

I hope they start building nos late 944 dashes

[@timothywing8604]

Ser Schön!!! Hope they do them in brown, also... since that constitutes the majority of interiors out there!

[@timcomeau420]

agreed.

[@smacdiesel]

I read that the parts market for classic Porsches are very profitable for the them. This is awesome!

[@clay38391]

Oh man I’ve been planning on redoing my dash. Hopefully I can get my hands on one of these.

[@TheBoasn]

Holy shit! Can’t wait to get one for mine! I want to get clear window tint with the UV protection first. Then hopefully the dash will last 50 years!

[@NoChrome]

Great News! Going to be add this to my already long list of things to buy for my 944

[@RedRoofGarage]

Oh man I want one for my 83 😍

[@mattr85]

Just picked up a 1983 today with 116k miles, 5 speed!

[@pablopicaro7649]

4:34 Shop rate sneak peak $130 , $160 if you watch or give suggestions.

[@Ronan1692]

Any chance of a right hand drive model

[@ComeauRacingEnterprises]

@@Ronan1692 let’s hope so. It stands the reason that they would start with the most common usage and in the most common color. Might take a while for them to do a burgundy right hand drive.

[@DSimmons1265]

The sticker has a build date of October 2021! Cool stuff.

[@timcomeau420]

That's what I meant when I said, "This isn't NOS ( New old stock). The factory is reproducing parts for our cars.

[@jbminutiae]

Very cool! Thank you for the intel. Do you know if they make them in brown too? My early dash only has a few fine cracks as my car was garaged since birth and had a dash mate until I acquired it 3 years ago. I also use a sunshade that was made for it. Thanks again and take care!

[@WolfetonePickups]

No brown yet, but find the brown part number in PET and enter it here in the classic parts feedback form. Be persistent. I was, for two years. www.porsche.com/usa/accessoriesandservices/classic/genuineparts/notesonavailability/

[@77magnuss]

Supposedly, Porsche can still make any part for every car they ever made.

[@timcomeau420]

great! Tell then to make more drivers' door handles.

[@77magnuss]

@@timcomeau420 Yeah, I need one too.

[@kennethsuire8213]

Hello,where are you Located,,,,,Thanks Kenneth I,m in South Louisiana

[@timcomeau420]

Ken, CRE is in sunny San Diego. I love Acadiana and kinda know my way around after visiting in 2019.

[@samamahm6123]

Another amazing video from the guru! How much for the dash??? Please let us know Tim! I’m so excited I’m almost done ‘restoring’ the car as it’s needed a ton of work and 20k later we are here.

[@WolfetonePickups]

Since he doesn't appear to be replying, I will. The dash can be gotten for around $12-1300 from dealers like Porsche Marin, Gaudin, Suncoast, or Sunset. List price is $1600.

[@FrankGraffagnino]

whoa... can someone share their process for actually ordering one of these dash replacements? this looks awesome.

[@ComeauRacingEnterprises]

Just call your local dealership.

[@TheTr0uble]

Hey Tim, I NEED your advice on swapping out my DME for a modern Solid State unit??? I’m not having any issues with my present one I’m looking at it from a reliability point….

[@timcomeau420]

Yes, I'd get the F9 DME and DME relay.

[@TheTr0uble]

Hey Tim, I already have the Relay with the pump prime feature, I’m ask you about the actual ECU replacement…

[@timcomeau420]

[@timcomeau420]

I know, right? Ain't it sexy? I assume they'll start reproducing late model dashes and maybe even some different colors.

I don’t know if they made any right hand drive dashboards.
