    Well done! Its taken me 3 months to identify my AFM is the cause for my over fueling / running rich problem. Now to source the part........ 😩 Using this as motivation.

    Well done!!!!!! The wiring harnesses for the early cars might still be cheap from Porsche, you’d save yourself a ton of headache just starting with fresh factory wiring! Always a good backup if the wiring in it is buggered. Excellent work, can’t wait to see it on its first drive! Huge milestone!

    • @Bbeavis
      @Bbeavis  Před 4 měsíci +1

      The harness in this car is complete, it's just a bit of a mess in the interior in so far as its been unwrapped.... not too much to fix, just needs a tidy up.
      Thanks, glad to share this with you - more updates coming soon on the car - I've been busy getting it sorted :-)

    My first car was a Black 1988 944S, it was such an awesome car. Glad to see you reviving one of these! Wish Porsche made another line of cars like the 914/944!

      @Bbeavis  Před 4 měsíci

      Wow, such a cool first car!
      It's great fun to learn the nuances of the 944, it is relatively simple once you start to pull it all apart...

    I think the bigger mystery is getting a rwc for a non runner and then getting issued with 7 year old club plates.. lol.
    Just messing with you. Well done. I can only imagine how long that took you to diagnose and sort out in real time. The condensed post first start version on video was probably a good move. Great work!!!!!

    • @Bbeavis
      @Bbeavis  Před 4 měsíci

      Sharp eyes sir - perhaps I threw the plates from my former club permit'd MX-5 on this car just so it feels more 'real' in the garage.... still yet to drive the car on the street.
      I spends lots of hours on the car, and researching/googling on my PC to learn how the car works - so indeed, I do try to condense that down to something that's interesting - I don't want to bore you with hours of me pottering around a car. I hope you find the vid is enjoyable from start to finish.

      @@Bbeavis I presumed as much from seeing the plate. I would have done the same thing. I'm so happy that you got it running when others have failed. They are a great car with a timeless shape. My mate's turbo was a brilliant track day car. Boy have they skyrocketed in price since he sold it 15 years ago.

    • @Bbeavis
      @Bbeavis  Před 2 měsíci

      Thanks mate. Yeah I am in Melbourne. This car hasn't been on the road for 15yrs or more so. Likely it hasn't had a roady in that time.

    Ive been hanging out for an update video - thanks for your efforts. I passed up a 944 some years when their values were poor so I bought an MX5 instead! I'm kicking myself that I missed out on Porsche ownership so I'll live my car owning dreams via your channel.

    • @Bbeavis
      @Bbeavis  Před 4 měsíci

      Thank you David. Although this car is perhaps a little more costly than a used MX-5, it was certainly priced to be attainable by most average people. And I'm hardly outside of average :-P
