Hello everyone, big national event coming up 15/16th August, perfect place to show your new cars off [:)]
 

Hi Paul, I hope we can have a small show of cars at the Silverstone Classic meeting on 24th 25th & 26th July, perhaps as a trial run before the National. My Apline (sic) white, as I have been told by Porsche in my Authenticity document, 1983 924 will be there for the three days.
 
Hi
I am Michael Calvert . I have a 924 Turbo 1982 with Carrere GT modes . Enjoyed the 40 Anniversary last Saturday . Usual Silverstone weather .
Presently trying to resolve a misfire . Have put on Mittel disi which has made the running smoother and got rid of the amplifier and the N/A crank sensor.
Is anything special been done for the classic in July ?
 
Hi Paul
I have a 924 Turbo 1982 completely rebuilt as a Carrere GT. Presently trying to resolve a misfire which cuts of the engine then refires with a back fire
Fitting a Mittel Disi which gets rid of the amplifier and crank sensor . See how this goes. Also looking to locate a pair of Monroe Strut fitting kit for the front suspension if anyone can help.

Any arrangements for 924 display at the Classic ?

Not really done to much really to date. The interior was ripped out, which I have started to but back together and reupholster where it needs it. Gave the engine a quick tune up/ new plugs/leads/dissy cap/rotor arm, now running nice and clean. hopefully will get it passed MOT soon and on the road. Nothing to fancy in store just clean and get on the road and enjoy. I cant believe how similar and yet so different the 924 is to the S.

Started to fit interior, as the old carpets are passed it, both in there condition and the fact they where ripped out, I have decided to go with a more simple carpet brought online and tailor it to the car rather than buying a fitted carpet set- which I think are quite expensive. Completed one door card as well, and one more to go, but its just started to rain :( so have taken a quick break hopefully it holds off for a bit and I can continue in a while. I will then give the steering and brakes a quick once over and then maybe even book it in for an MOT.

 
I now have my 924 Le Mans back from the garage with correct graphics and interior. Somebody was asking about the car, with a view to compiling a database.

It is a 1980 2.0 na Le Mans.
Reg No YLV 932W
Chassis WP0ZZZ92ZBN400632
Production date 9/8/1980
First registered 10/9/1980

You may have spotted it at Silverstone, beside the other 924s
Great day on Saturday

Thankyou, it's been up and running now for only 2 weeks, and I've approx 10% more work & changes to complete 100%
Then I intend to get out in it more ![:D]
 
my 924 turbo is/was made to look like a Carrera GT in 1995 at the time it cost £3373.00 !!! UNFORTUNATELY before i got it the car was stripped of its seats and door cards,wheels,bonnet scoop and rear spoiler.

thanks
Martyn

 
Just like the 1st Porsche we had, a 1981 Lux-just as attractive(or more so) today as it was when new ! Who needs these bloated sports cars we have today ?
 
Well our Stein Grau 924S had it's 1st major surgery last week when Unit 11 Porsche in Warrington replaced the original clutch for me at 108,000 miles-used the expensive Sachs kit which no longer has the "rubber doughnut" bonded to the clutch plate.
There was still some wear on the clutchplate but the pressure plate was starting to allow a little slip -I also gave them new crank sensors to fit at the same time for 2 reasons:-
To avoid delays on the job should they prove the usual pig to remove--in fact they both came out OK with cans like new although 1 Bosch plug cracked due to embrittlement
At that mileage seemed prudent anyway

Both sensors cost me £33 ea + VAT at GSF compared to £27ea +VAT 4 years ago when I replaced them on the red trackday S-still a big saving

I did consider doing it myself but hard work lying underneath the car on axle stands in a normal width garage-the wider end has the MGB GT in it!
 
Hi, just rejoined the Club after about 25 years! Bought my 924 last year (also had an 'S' and another Lux in the past), intending to keep this one. Totally standard, body restored. Only used on dry weekends...
Hope to meet some other members/924 owners over the summer.
Best regards,
Simon

I own CGT 428

Hi I am looking for right and left brake cooling ducts, mine are missing.
Also right and left front seat believe they are the same as the 930 for this car.
Any of the brackets that support the front and rear arches.
Also the plastic/nylon insert that the fuel injector sits in.
Plus right and left door cards in black with Porsche logo.

Is there a definitive list of what colours and options the 75 right hand drive cars came with. Eg how many had sunroofs, how many black/red/silver, aircon etc.

Any help with the above would be much appreciated.
