Red on black 1988 944S.

All things work. All gauges, electronics, etc.
Even the trouble spots for porsche's - Sunroof, rear hatch release, clock, dash all in great shape. They have been fixed (they usually break). Car has been gone through by western corvette in Calgary, Alberta. When I bought it, it needed about $5k worth of stuff (at $105/hr). Most was pretty easy stuff, loose hose here, clamp this. I took care of most of the small stuff, now all that is left is the tune and someone to do something with this. It runs and drives fine, but you are leaving power on the table according to Western corvette. That and the muffler which makes is real quiet are restricting the power.

The weak points on the car all have been addressed (porsche engine is responsible for 7/10 weak spots on a 944) with the engine swap. Renegade hybrids LT1 corvette conversion kit, reliable and engineered to be so (hundreds sold). the other 3 have been taken care of above.

It is basically 100% stock Porsche 944S (bigger brakes and swaybars, etc) with a vette engine (+clutch). A 4 seater corvette for 1/2 the price, and ~300lbs less.

Running and driving for a few thousand miles. [edit, just so we are crystal clear, the LT1 is in the porsche and it has been running great. I have addressed over time, the Western corvette's inspection's findings that were needed.]

In the interest in full disclosure, here is all what western corvette found.

Tune
Car has LS1 edit, and as such, comes with a laptop to tune. No way am I going to do that.
Car is currently running off one 02 sensor bank, not 2, and as such see above, tune isnt' ideal, but it runs pretty good to me.

SWAP
Leaks - yes, the new rebuilt engine has a leak or two. The heads have a leaks/sweats either on the intake or valve cover. It isn't bad, and its just oil.
Leaks - I think the power steering hoses leak, or have been fixed, but it won't be bad either way.
Leaks - the rear differential is sweating from the axle joints. When I was about to do the axle.

Radiator
It is the stock 944S (Larger), but its still old and stock. I could not get it to overheat w the fans turned off, but it is the stock item.
