We picked this up last summer from TurboPooch.

He did a great job rebuilding the motor, thanks Steve.

The Dorky price is +/- $15,000

Willing to trade for a 996 Turbo + cash on my end, must be a manual transmission.

She will be listed elsewhere this spring for more $$$.

The plan was HPDE, never made it to the track, TY Covid-19.

The only reason I’m selling, is that we picked up a different track toy

Repairs completed prior to my purchase:

This car was a non-running project when TurboPooch bought her. Initial testing revealed low compression (60psi) across all cylinders with 60% past the rings. Also evidence of turbocharger malfunction of oil seals and endplay. Disassembly revealed piston rings fused into their gaps and severe bore scoring due to rocking pistons. More than likely, this was caused by poor flowing injectors (about 80% of their rated capacity) causing lean conditions as indicated by injector rehab service.

Contrats Karl...and that keeps me from doing something dumb...One 944 in the house is enough.

[Patrick3000]

Sold to a Dorky, I’ll let him jump in with the details.

I suspect the first detail has to do with not tracking a GTI after all

[Mark Hubley]

So, it looks like I won’t be tracking my GTI after all . . .
