You need this like a hole in the head, but check this out: https://www.facebook.com/share/1D8EnwE9tW/ A collection of four Datsun 2000s!

Bob: I think 0-60 times on a non-turbo 944 was closer to 8 seconds. Later turbo models got down to around 6 seconds if I remember correctly. If that’s the case this car will be embarrassed by many modern vehicles.

The Cayman is a keeper in my opinion but understand about too many vehicles and the need to thin the herd.

I seem to remember that the timing belt/water pump change interval for these cars was something like every 30k miles. Is this correct? i had a couple of air-cooled 911s back in the 80s when the 944 came out and considered buying one. I thought the 45k mile interval on my wife’s old Volvo 245...

The ones made ~30 years ago were built to last. According to repairmen I’ve spoken with many new machines are built to be easily assembled at the factory but have plastic parts that don’t last and are difficult to repair. If you stick with the basic residential Speed Queen models they’re still...

I always did repair on our 30 year old Maytags, as YouTube videos always helped if I got stuck. When we gave them away to a coworker’s son about 8 years ago we bought Speed Queen washer and dryer with knobs/push buttons vs electronic controls. They’re old school units but appliance repairmen...

What year? Is it 987.1 or 987.2? Looks like a base model so no bore scoring worries.

Did you check compression on this engine or pressurize the cooling system? Just curious.

Looks great. Any downstairs pics?

Any updates?

Wow. Looks great!

I would go with tile on the top ’display’ floor and polyaspartic on the lower level. Some might disagree due to nuts/bolts/small parts being camouflaged when dropped on the floor coating but I can’t help but think that cleanup might be better. If you do go with this option, I recommend the...

Many thanks. I almost ordered a 2011 E91 M sport rwd manual with no Idrive but was lured by the power and bigger brakes of the E90 335i. In hindsight the E91 in that spec would be a unicorn but the N55 hasn’t been as unreliable as 2007-2010 N54 cars. E9x cars are great daily drivers that...

I sold my larger air compressor a few years ago since I didn't use it much anymore. I have a pancake compressor/hose reel that I purchased for my Dad years ago for inflating tires, etc. He gave it back to me when the folks moved out of their house. I was inspired by a GJ poster from...
