On the 'New Car' thread you state - "I'm on Porsche no. 5, now going into number 6, which is probably 6 more than the average 22 year old, so I'm reasonably familiar with the period options". With respect, why are you asking the question if you've already had so many Porsches? Now if you don't mind, I'm one of the 'old duffers', as you kindly say on the same thread, who needs to go and clean his leather seats

Now if you don't mind, I'm one of the 'old duffers', as you kindly say on the same thread, who needs to go and clean his leather seats I was referring to more in depth technical discrepencies for example on later 8 valve engines the timing belt tensioners are slightly different; the sort of thing bar-room experts can't find out by flicking through model brochures. Don't polish them too much, if they are too shiny, you may slide off them when the next hedge is appraoching!

I'm know expert but I think these are some - Early non abs cars had different wheel offsets Early cars had steel trailing arms later alloy Cam belt tensioner on later cars was so called "auto spring tensioner" Water pumps different I think Different gbox Speedo drive cable driven on early cars from front hub, late electronic from gbox Calipers certainly on newer cars anyway DME Power steering?? I give up Rich |

From what I can remember from memory.... (and this is from a 924S late 160hbp model - 1988 944) Dash (inc steering height) Powered seats Rear battery/ fuse box under bonnet Bulk head Headlight adjustment (don't think this was an option on an early 44 but it was on a late 24S) Spring tensioner on the cam belt Wheel offset Speaker setup Rear wiper was on pins mount on the early cars, bolt on on later cars Full spare early cars, space saver on later cars LATER CARS passenger side electric seat ABS as standard (didn't mention this as an option on early oval dash cars lol) split rear seats after 89? Ok I'm getting bored now IIRC the 944 was 160bhp from the off and the 24 was detuned til 87-88 so no difference here |

If you check clarks he usually describes any technical differences between late and early cars, this is very important for items like cam belt changes etc www.clarks-garage.com |

I think windscreens are different. Later cars have flush mounted screens. |

Brake calipers, offside front wing, rear hatch and wiper, boors and side glasses, steering wheel, torque tube, rear lamps, rear bumper, front bumper and bumper mounted lamps, PU..... Pretty much everything else is different. |
