Some like to thumb through a hard copy and get it all greasy
rather than smearing grease on your ipad I guess.?

Whoops i replied to the wrong thread, but you get
the idea?
What¡¯s the big deal with the hard copy
manuals vs the digital copies that are free? Is there
supplemental info or is it just a premium for the printed
version?

Re: smoking deal on shop manuals
Seems to be the same person selling the timing belt tensioning tool.
Not a bad price ($400) and hard to find.

smoking deal on shop manuals
Someone in Brush Prairie is selling their 928 shop manuals (grey 9 volumes) for $300
Hope someone jumps on this deal.
I've already got the set otherwise I'd be all over it.

Re: 928 International big parts sale
Andrew, ? If I needed some of the parts he is offering, I would be all over it. So far, no wrecks or hit deer. I¡¯m sure that could change. If he is getting rid of some other large parts like a block that I can get rebuilt it would make sense for me. I will PM him in Rennlist and see if he is doing something like that. I have a pickup that I could take down if wanted. It is a 6¡¯ 6¡± bed with a topper so can¡¯t go to high. ? Hope to make it up your way sometime and see your project. ? David

928 International big parts sale
Mark Anderson posted yesterday on Rennlist that as part of his location move, many large parts are for sale at screaming deals.? "Fenders, doors, bumpers, hoods, and seats are all $100." ? ?

Is there enough group interest here in the PacNW to make a trip with a truck and/or trailer worth it?

Re: Clutch driving me crazy
I can try that, but the risk of damaging something that I've spent a ton of money on trying to make right several times has me keeping it in the garage until I know it's fixed. Can't keep pouring money (up to about 1600 now) into this clutch and have it fail in some way again.

Take it out and put 40-50 miles on it with a couple harder launches
I bet all your issues go away

I also did the fancy sachs spline grease, yes
Have Colin pop down and drive it.?? I'm sure that will cure any
disc launch issues :D :D :D
Also, did you use the uber expensive special spline grease before
assembling?

Heres a pic of the whole gang including the old
pressure plate
If you're getting chatter that will be more
caused by the friction material on the discs.
Can you post a picture of the friction
plates? Or let us know what material was used?

Hey group.?
I've reached the end of my patience rope
with this 928.?
I have replaced or resurfaced all of the
components of the clutch. I still get a chatter on
engagement.? The intermediate plate is pinned and
straighted. New clutch discs. Resurfaced flywheel and
brand new pressure plate.?
I'm looking to see if there is a local
expert that can help with the diag on this in the tacoma
area. I'm clearly missing something.?

Re: Selling 1987 Porsche 928 S4
Other than space, money and love for the 928, I think you need these three things: - Handy mechanically or willing to learn like Michael Benno from scratch
- Understanding wife
- And most importantly, flexible back to get in and out of the car
Unfortunately, and although I have a very understanding and kind wife, I don't have the 1. and 3. above.
Cheerio!
What a beauty, I wish I had the space and money for it, it really is lovely.

Re: Selling 1987 Porsche 928 S4
Here is my car with the Cup 2 wheels.
Just to clarify one more thing, the pictures I have posted earlier were taken by the previous owner when he was selling the car. I have only driven about 2k miles since 2021.
Hi Rob,
This car needs about $3-4k worth of cosmetic work - front bumper, hood, side panels, etc. Then, the driver seat leather repair work. With that in mind, I was thinking around $23k. I bought the car for $24k and put in $10k. But again, I am willing to negotiate because my wife wants the car out of the house sooner rather than later.
A bit more about the car. The previous owner - who was based in Colorado and California - had the car for almost a decade. He thought he was a pretty handy person but occasionally he took more than what he could chew. This was the major reason why the car stayed with Leif "Guru" Johnson of Autowerks since he had to reset many things to the factory standard. I think he got about 95% done.?
Regards,
Simon
Nice Simon, what are you asking for it? ? Selling 1987 928 S4 purchased from a Rennlist member in 2021.
?
Autowerks' Leif Johnson has done close $10,000 worth of work on this car including the timing belt / water pump replacement in 2022, repairing steering column, etc. The car has been driven about 1000 miles since Autowerks' repair.
The total mileage of the car is 131,783 miles. I am either 7th or 8th owner of the car.
The color is Venetian blue.
The wheels on this car has been changed to Cup 2 wheels to accommodate diverse set of All Season tires
Mechanically the car is sound but it needs to be driven. My wife and I downsized our home and have no room for this car.
There are several cosmetic issues which I have not been able to get to.
?
Thank you.
Simon
