The Phone Dials are SOOOOooooo much classier. The mesh wheels cheapen the look.

Love this, Ethan. You're absolutely right - the tiny jobs feel great. It's those little fixes that make the car a nicer place to be. I find HUGE satisfaction in refreshing even the smallest of trim pieces on my E46.

Nothing to be ashamed of with that improvised rear wiper delete. Looks good & well put together. If desired, the screw's head could be dabbed with black touch up paint to hide the silver.

The phone dial wheels are the absolute best looking wheels for the 944 👍🏼

Almost 10,000 subscribers. Keep on truckin'.

Great job plugging the hole in the hatch. If you want to conceal it a bit better, use a black paint pen to color the screw in.

Try a clay bar kit for the sap! I think it'll work, because it SHEERS junk like that off.

- All these classic 80’s and 90’s cars, I forgot I had first hand experience driving many when they were brand new, when I was in college. (yes I am old now) One was a 1989 944 turbo S my friend owned. Fast, great handling, solid. Lots of turbo lag, but shifted amazing. Good memories. Loved the 944. I have to make a list one day.

I just discovered your channel, and I love it :)

From previous videos, I hadn't noticed that the Porsche had brown interior, so cool!

Great video! And the phonedials are way cooler than the BBS.

Lug Nuts, hand thread them on for 10-12 threads before hitting it with drill. Drill has enough torques to jack the threads.

At first I thought the basket weave wheels were better looking, bur really, the Phone Dials scream 944! Good choice on putting the new tires on those. And 'thumbs up' on those little achievements. Great vid, as always!!!

For the sap use the steel wool with the soap in it

Pretty sure they’re genuine alloy lug nuts by the looks of it.

Nice Porsche

Great video brother. I always loved the looks of those cars. I would say kinda a dream car. I would have put some silicone on the wiper blade delete job. It would add a bit of extra protection. Being that I’m a fellow diy person.

The basket weave wheels remind me of the Grand Marquis wheels. Take that for what it is worth.

Rubbing alcohol works really well on sap. I had a lot of pine tree sap on one of my cars on the rubbing alcohol took it off and didn't damage the paint.

I hope that with the new tires you got an alignment as well. If not your new tires will end up like your old tires.

Try Goo Gone for the sap. I've used it for over a decade to get sap or anything sticky off ANYTHING.

Cool 😀

Love the video, im gonna watch more of your channel, but 400k miles!!! Wow! My old 924 special editionhad close to 230k miles. Original engine, and clutch 🤪

You really need the eurospec rear bumper to make it perfect👌😎

Anything alcohol based should remove the sap. The higher the concentration, the bigger. Check out chrisfix's video as reference on the same issue. I have BBS on my black 86, but they are the RS version. Keep the 944 videos coming!

There's a hole cover from Porsche for those who "deleted" the rear wiper motor. Check with a Porsche parts recycler as they should have one. Also, think Metric for sockets, etc.

Love the phone dials. Sap and tar is always tough--too weak and it it does not work, too strong and you risk ruining the paint. i have had luck with the cheap Turtle Wax by letting it sit on the bad spots for a little time

Bro just did a similar video on my 91 Mercedes 500sl. Made me so happy at the end. I said fuck it, due to quarantine let's fix things for free using stuff around my shop. It came out so good. Ironically I even fixed my driver's door panel. Oh also because of you I found a 1983 Nissan pulsar and I think I'm going to pick her up. Thanks again. Love the content.

You have 968 mirrors on that thing. They used to go for a lot of money.

Hi man! i just found your channel.. nice car! for the rear windshield why don´t you buy a rear wiper delete kit for a vw golf? (i don´t know if the hole is the same size, but there are a lot of kits available) Cheers from Argentina!

This was the fastest car on the road in 86. Picked an identical new one up from an SF Bay dealer, stepped on it over Dumbarton Bridge and before I knew it the speedo registered over 150.

Also, Yokohama tires were OEM for the 951, so they might perform better and they're fairly cheap.

Oops or goof off might work. Not sure how paint will take it though.

Can you fix the cracked dash? I have the same issue. You can you Polyvance products...

Denatured alcohol or Marine Stove fuel should remove that tree tar without an issue. I'm a huge fan of the 944.

The lug nuts need to be a ball seat, not very common at local parts store. Thanks for the videos.

Try Stoner’s Tar-X.

High mileage vehicle is way to go if you want a project car and that's the vehicle I want cool vehicle 👍👍👍😎😉😌😌

I'd love to find a cheap 400k 944 turbo! In the Chicagoland area you can barely find a decent 944 for cheap rn.

ngl i kinda like the basket weave wheels more than the phone dial wheels

When can we have a video on the Prizm GSi

The wheels take special conical seat nuts. Also seems like your car is in desperate need of an alignment. I would get it checked wouldnt want to wear out the new tires. I think cookie cutters look best on 944s id keep an eye out for a set they can be had cheap

Mineral spirits or acetone (nail polish remover) will take that sap off

I would have put the new tires on the BBS wheels then take that motor and trans out and have them rebuilt

Actually I might be able to give some helpful feedback on your tire situation. I'm tires for a mixture of daily driving, autocross, and the occasional track day. They do offer a a ridiculous amount of grip for a street tire. After one track day, one autocross, and 25,000 street miles, my front tires are pretty well worn out and the rear tires are still closed to new (RSX Type-S). Adding a little bit of air pressure takes care of the additional sidewall flex compared to the Kumho tires. Once they get halfway Warren they do become a little more dicey in standing water, and the noise level increases dramatically as they wear. There are supposedly confirmed reports that this is actually a rebadged previous-generation Bridgestone Potenza RE71, and they do seem to offer similar performance to that tire.

You might have to let the bug/tar/sap remover sit for a bit. Had to let it sit for me once to remove tar off.

ooooh, I'd love to come and help you clean that car! lol

try simpleGreen on the sap ( without water dilution)

Is it still sucking exhaust into the cabin?

My motto is "Not good, but better".

Quick question, i can't remember if you mention this in a previous video but is this car 100% yours now? or do you still only have it for 6 months at a time?

how many miles does the car have??

What about removing the stone guards?

Where is Probe?

That interior really needs some refurbishing... maybe even a little upgrade. What about some faux leather vynil, including some padded vynil to replace those disgusting "suede" surfaces?

pit stoop

I am baffled that it has 400 k miles

E.T. FONE DIALS HOME! looks dope! Achtung!!! Porsche likes to use aluminum lug nutz! Nein Herr Basket Weave! i'm done sorry.

How much did you spend on this ride????

Should have mounted that rubber on the BBS wheels!

It’s not ok

Goo Gone or Goof Off.

Lugnuts are not correct Porsche use lug nuts with ball ending not with cone ending or what ever you call it.

God I love old crappy cars. My favorite crappy car I ever owned was 97 Subaru Impreza. It was mint but some db pulled out in front of me and I slammed curb and ruined car. Sad face.

Are you selling this car

Have you checked if the plastic worm gears in the odometer sensor aren't broken in the instrument Cluster? It's common for them to stop working if you push the reset button while the car is moving or in motion of any sorts. I found a reference: www.clarks-garage.com/shop-manual/elect-09.htm

Dude!!! You gotta roll with the BBS rims!!! In the 80s, BBS, Epsilon and Gotti rims were the S**t!!! You'd be rolling Miami Vice style! Glad to see that you're keeping the old girl going. They're aren't many of them left. 👍

Me encantan tus vídeos, te sigo desde España. Este es mi 944 turbo kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g79pg5mrmtqXf6M.html

Not a fan of the basket wheels, especially in gold, but I’m just a random guy in the comments so 🤷🏻‍♂️
