I put my 1991 944 Turbo through the NCT last week and it failed, the n/s ball joint had to be replaced. I half expected it to fail if honest on this and so be it.

Thinking it was just a simple ball joint I went home happy. Dropped the car over to the brothers workshop and a day later he calls to say its part of the control arm, looked around for prices and near shit myself.

I live in a Ballyboughal village in North Dublin, Ireland. And the guy I bought the car of Cameroncars.com told me there is a chap in Ballyboughal who services all his porches, he also has a great pink racing 911.

The crowd in Ballyboughal is called askracing.com and I paid them a visit, what a sound bunch of lads and they know their shit about 944s. They must have 20 prepped for track and to my delight they have a bundle of spares/ broken 944s.

I got a good 2nd hand control arm for €50 and also the gear for the sunroof, so I'm feeling a little lucky.

Just thought I'd share that with any other Irish 944'er out there then again they probably already know!

Nice one

guess that's the infamous 'luck 'o' the irish' at work eh?
