Re: my 1989 S4 is for sale...
For the seat problem next time at Walmart (or Amazon) pick up some
CRC Electronic Cleaner then spray the seat switches liberally. The contacts get dirty and 75% of the time electronic cleaner gets them working again.?

Tomorrow Buy CRC Electronic Cleaner, Quick Dry for Sensitive Electronics, 11 oz at Walmart.com

Some details....
Color: Dunkelblau (dark blue); Interior: Linen upholstery, custom blue carpeting. .
Miles: 149K
Automatic
GT cams installed by Hergesheimer in 2002.
$21,500
Receipts from new, including rebuilt trans and other work by Precision Motorworks (Greg Brown).
Some highlights:? Sharktuner chip and tuned. Ott X-pipe. Runs great; good paint.
5K on TB/WP and rollers, porktensioner? done in 2011
Needs:
Dash is cracked from 22 years in California - The Jaeger cover in good shape.
Driver's side bolster needs new leather (rest of leather is in good shape).
Slow leak in A/C.
Passenger seat back doesn't move forward at present, but should be an easy fix. With a little more good weather I'll take a stab at it.

Probably Matt who just purchased a very nice 86.5. He works at MS in security design. He has been a pleasure to hang out with and sorting his car. Thomas

Glad Burgermaster is taking over, with a parking lot setup, I hope they’ll continue the tradition of car shows. ?

Ha. Love it (if it fits). I’ve always thought those ‘02-08 Maseratis (as in, the whole car) would make a worthy replacement for my 928 if I ever decided to sell it and continue using something equally silly as a daily driver. (I did neither.) But if you think it’s hard to find a 928 with a manual gearbox…
This has got to be just about the most ‘philosophically correct’ (for lack of a better term) 928 engine swap I’ve seen. (Sorry if this is a spoiler for the latter half of the YouTube video that I haven’t watched yet, but whereas the Ferrari version of the F136 has a flat-plane crank and a very different character, the original Maserati version has a cross-plane crank configuration, such that Jeff’s creation may end up sounding nearly indistinguishable from a stock 928, depending on his exhaust choices!)
