I've been a guest on here for 14 years, and probably lurked for a year or 2 before that. Back then there were a lot more people posting, and some entertaining differences of opinion too. Now it seems there's only a handful of us left. I remember when it was all fields around here . Quote Reply #1 List Solutions Only 73 Replies

Definitely quieter but still useful for advice and sourcing parts. TIPEC is even quieter. I think you can directly correlate it to the amount of '44s on the road. It's much less then 13/14 years ago and apart from a few that come and go it's mostly the "lifers" on here that have had their car for ages, pulled it apart and fixed it often, and have little or no intention of moving it on. A 44 isn't the cheap way into Porsche ownership now, the Boxster and 996 has that mantle now, whereas the 44 is now well into classic and appreciating status. This will be having a big effect on traffic in here.

Same as the guy with the black turbo, who it seemed was spending a fortune at Augment in search of 400+ bhp. I'm not sure it's all about facebook groups though. More likely cars like the Golf R/Focus RS/ Cupra R, that are similar money to a good 944 turbo, but are just a map away from a fairly reliable 350-400 bhp. The writing was on the wall when Promax packed up, who is importing/selling tuning parts for 944 turbos now. Quote Reply #8

Maybe here was more on TIPEC but was a very frequent poster than just vanished. And the Finnish guy, Ollie, who was building a 400BHP car for his sons first car. He seemed to be a mine of information. I'm sure Simon (944 man) had some not very good dealings with him that might have coincided with his vanishing act.

He knows just about everything regarding 944/68's. Some people seemed to forget he made a living from his garage, and expected mates rates all the time. I understand things went a bit off course for a while due to family/health issues, but he was a real asset on the forums. Quote Reply #10

Very knowledgeable. He helped my fix a problem with my aftermarket SciVision MAF a few years ago. Knew about the potentiometers inside the little control box that emulates the AFM signal for the ECU. It's impressive enough to know the 944 inside out never mind also knowing an aftermarket upgrade back to front as well. Done an insurance valuation for me as well a few years back and didn't charge.
