Porsche Enthusiasts Club Forum

Hi everyone I am a New 944 S2 owner of only a few days, and loving it already. I previously owned and just sold a triumph spitfire which was great but I think Im going to enjoy the Porsche alot more !

Anyone got any good tips for a newby like me, I'll attach a picture if i can, so you can give me your honest opinion, im open to anything

cheers guys and great to be here.

Si

Hello and welcome to TIPEC

The S2 looks good. The "Red is the fastest colour" brigade will be along shortly to welcome you.

I'm sure you'll enjoy 944 ownership.

All the best,

Ben

Great car. Massive change from a Spitfire. When you take the roof out you can get all nostalgic

Hi Simon,

Very nice looking motor and what a colour , how many miles are on the clock, have the cam belts been done recently

Hi & welcome

Simon,
Looks very straight, make sure the cam belt is current and also check that the nylon slipper tensioner pad has been done, this is not a service item and wears which can cause huge damage if it gets too worn.
Do a search on it to enlighten you, get those sills clattered with rustproofing fluid/wax and the bottom of the front wings, clear all the crud from them and remove the front wing plastic lower extensions and clean those also rear number light apertures can also rust from inside out unclip the rear boot carpet where the spare sits and clatter some anti rust wax in there also.
Fill her up with petrol and enjoy, you can also be quietly smug knowing that you have probably just bought yourself about the best built and handling 2+2 Sport Coupes.
Keep plenty of wak (not polish) on that paint as it is famous for turning pink if not looked after.
Have a go at resetting the trip meter...................when you cannot fathom it out come back and ask

Hello and welcome, love the colour

Don't try to reset the trip meter whilst the car is moving or it will end in tears

Hi and welcome Looking very good, nice colour. I hope to have mine all that colour one day.

Hi and welcome.

Yup, red is the fastest colour. Lovely motor

Enjoy the ride

Awesome and welcome.
I too am a fairly new owner and am loving mine and I'm sure you will love yours too.

Went to a family BBQ this Sunday gone and despite being the oldest and probably the cheapest car there, almost every one asked who owned the Porsche and commented on how fabulous it looked.

A true feelgood factor is gained from ownership of these gorgeous cars.

Sadly for me I brought mine before I found out that the bank manager wouldn't give me a loan to pay for it. So I spend most weekends just looking at mine at the moment.
oddly the girlfriend wants me to spend money on food and not petrol.

Enjoy your self but look after her too.

Thanks guys i'm taking all yer comments on board
