  • This week, Jack, Ethan, Edwin and Kyle (@skyrocketautomotive670 ) dive into our abandoned Porsche 924 project car, which had been left in a field for 20 years, and was the cheapest in the country. How many parts will we need to change in order to get it running, and can we even drive the car at all?

    I have a 924 as a daily for the past 5 years. Am glued to this adventure you boys are on! Cant wait to see the supercharger.
    Also, replace EVERYTHING on the ignition side. They need a super strong spark to kick over reliably (especially in winter). I've tried a few and NKG leads seem decent. Also get a battery with slightly higher CCA rating than standard.
    Oh and good luck with the mystical WUR

I think its only gotten funnier without Alex tbh - your trio dynamic is great and the banter you have with the various mechanics/dyno specialist/sellers of cars are just top notch.

    Awesome. Just awesome. I'm into this as well with mine. It's been sitting 21 years. And I'm recommissioning it. Thank you for the map of what to do. You guys are awesome.
