Porsche Enthusiasts Club Forum

Hi all.

I've recently bought a 1989 944 2.7 Lux.

It's a nice old girl with a few character adding quirks.

Took it to my usual garage - told its fairly sound but front shocks have some play and it needs a few spots tidying up on the body.

Hoping to get these bits done within a month or so.

I'm actually using it as a daily driver on my 30 mile round trip commute and really enjoying it.

Love driving something a bit different!

Always wanted one since my next door neighbour had a new white S2 back when I was about 7/8 years old. Okay, so it's a 'base' model but hey ho!

Looking to learn a few things on the site, get guidance on how to fix a few minor issues and read up on other people's experiences!

I live in Stansted and work in Harlow, where I've seen an identical black 944!

Couple of pics:







Cheers!

Hi Dave & Welcome,
My 1st Porsche was also a White (Alpine) 2.7 944 - purchased from a Tipec member in 2004 fond memories, hope you enjoy your ownership as much as I did you never know what it might lead to
It's addictive you know I'm on my 3rd (& last) 944 now since 2004

Welcome to the forum, nice to see you have ticked a box on the bucket list

Hello and welcome, nice looking car you have there, as has been said, be careful as they can be addictive

I'm well into my cars, trackdays and have 19 Nürburgring trips under my belt.

This is my 51st car and I'm 30 years old.

I have never driven anything quite so balanced as this.

The understeer/oversteer balance is really quite good, I am enjoying it rather a lot.

It's sadly going to be a short term affair, I think, as it's my only car. I am taking company car allowance and I don't think it'll be long before I'm pulled up on policy (should be <10 years old and <80,000 miles) but I'm enjoying it whilst it lasts.

I could be tempted to keep as a second car, we will see.

Might be doing a trackday at Rockingham 8th March in it.

Hi and welcome
