Detail this Porsche by Owner
This is a clean Canadian car that I’ve owned since 2010. It is a fairly rare 1986 944 Turbo – the first year the 944 was offered as a turbo. During its time this was one of the fastest cars on the road and the excellent balance (50/50 weight distribution with the gear box in the rear) makes it a joy to drive.
Upon picking the car up, I worked with a Porsche specialist shop and fellow enthusiast (Juan’s Auto Service in Richmond) to perform a very thorough update of parts that had aged on the car. We did the following:
- Replaced every hose (including all vacuum, coolant, air, and fuel). These old hoses are notorious for vacuum leaks at this age
- Replace the timing belt, water pump, front bearings, and all seals and gaskets on the motor including the notorious oil pan gasket. There are no leaks from this car!
- Replaced the motor mounts, full exhaust system and gaskets (with OEM) including the headers which often leak in these cars.
- The suspension was overhauled with Koni components, new bushings, tie rod ends, coilovers in the rear and front.
- The interior was fixed up with a new shift boost, cleaned instrument cluster so the gauges read correctly, etc.
- Brakes are very good and tires are a couple of years old. We even replaces two of the wheels as they were out of true.
The car was then eligible as a collectors and it is now insured and plated as a collector car making it very affordable to run.
Finally, over the time that I have owned the car (and put on around 10-15000km) I acquired a large collection of spare parts. This is because parts for these classic Porsches are hard to find and and often expensive. This includes a spare turbo, full exhaust system, new wastegate, and everything that attaches to the motor itself. This is a very valuable stash of goodies to have because it allows you to enjoy the car for many many years to come with minimal operating costs.
Other projects have come up and I no longer have time for this vehicle. It is time to let it go into the hands of someone that can continue to enjoy it. The car can be viewed during the week in Richmond BC.
