Is There A Better Car For Weekend Drives Than A Porsche 944?

3/29/20194:22 estFiled to: Porsche 944, Porsche ToursBy: Bradley BrownellComment

This 1984 Porsche 944 is an incredible tool for certain purposes. For the purposes of driving some of the best roads in coastal Southern California, it may be one of the best tools. This particular example is a European model, originally delivered to a customer in Germany, which means it has a manual steering rack deemed too raw and unfiltered for …

Is Subaru’s BRZ the spiritual successor to Porsche’s iconic 944?

2/6/20195:07 estFiled to: Porsche 944, VideosBy: Chris CushingComment

Despite our name, Flatsixes loves transaxle Porsches. Between Bradley and myself, we currently own four 944s and 924s. Project 944 GTS, (which will have an update soon, by the way) is among my favorite cars I've ever owned. Barring often extremely cheap early Boxsters, it's hard to beat the 944's smile per dollar ratio. That said, the newest 944s …

Our Mind-Blowing Weekend At Rennsport Reunion

10/4/20181:01 estFiled to: Porsche Car ShowsBy: Bradley BrownellComment

Rennsport Reunion VI was among the most memorable automotive events in my recent memory. The showmanship involved on the part of Porsche's employees, their pride in the brand's history, and their willingness to talk about nothing but Porsche for the week of Rennsport is commendable. The event went off without a hitch, and I'm sure it took …

Does this 944 Deserve to be a Hot Wheels Car?

8/20/20189:36 estFiled to: Porsche 944By: Chris CushingComment

Back in 1978 Hot Wheels released a 924 in 1:64th scale, as is tradition for them. It had blackwall tires, and the same 5-spoke styled plastic wheels seen on most Hot Wheels of the day. About a decade later Matchbox released a 944 Turbo. I had one, it was green, the Porsche crest was huge across the hood, and the doors opened. It was a neat car. …

Introducing U-924, The Deutsch Marine’s Latest Porsche Based Submarine

10/4/20178:46 estFiled to: Humor, Porsche 924, Porsche 944By: Chris Cushing2 Comments

As part of a radical new cost saving measure, the German Navy is testing a new type of submarine to augment the Type 212 currently in service. Based on Porsche 924s, the new type promises to cost substantially less than the ~500 million Euro cost of the Type 212. With 924s available seemingly by the dozen on Craigslist for less than $5k, this …

Project 944 GTS Part 4: Chipped!

9/20/20179:00 estFiled to: Porsche 944By: Chris Cushing1 Comment

Sometimes you don't realize how bad something is until it's fixed. You plod forward, never knowing how much better things could be with a reasonably simple change. Apparently, that is how I felt about my ECU. The ECU, I always felt had slightly sloppy fuel mapping compared to a modern car, but it was thirty years old and that was sort of …

Project 944 GTS Mini Update: Lights, Hatch Issues and Parts Delays

8/28/201710:51 estFiled to: Porsche 944By: Chris Cushing7 Comments

There are certain difficulties in daily driving an older performance car. Some are obvious- the car sits substantially lower than even modern performance cars. Ventilation can leave something to be desired. Slow steering racks can make parallel parking a challenge (yes, project 944 GTS gets parallel parked a lot, so I am keenly aware of how many …

Project 944 GTS Part 3: Short Shifter and New Leather

7/28/201710:48 estFiled to: Porsche 944By: Chris Cushing3 Comments

A lot of the enjoyment of a car comes from the things you touch. In a car with a manual transmission, a whole lot of parts need to work harmoniously for the experience to be positive. Not only does the gearbox itself need to operate correctly, but the linkage, gear selector rod, and even the outer surface of the lever all need to have a certain …

Project 944 GTS Mini Update: Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff

7/17/20172:08 estFiled to: Porsche 944By: Chris Cushing2 Comments

The joys of owning an old car, particularly one with a large number of power features, are often tempered with frustration. In many ways, it can be hard to avoid the fact that Project 944 GTS is 30 years old. Though the car is tight, and well screwed together, many things that you touch and interact with day to day really show their age. Plastics …

Project 944 GTS Part 2: The Sway Bar and the All Weather Sports Car.

6/22/20177:59 estFiled to: Porsche 944By: Chris Cushing1 Comment

New York has been unusually wet this year. I'm not going to back this claim up with any real research about rainfall per month, but I don't think I'm wrong. After 26 years in one state, you sort of get a feel for its weather patterns. Thankfully, I own a Porsche, which means I don't need to be scared away by a drizzle or a torrential …
