Wiper arms
3
Does anyone have a pair of front wiper arms? I mistakenly thought I had some in the myriad of parts I own. Need some by the weekend if possible. I regret not grabbing the ones from the car at the lake stevens junkyard a few weeks ago. Jeff Evans

Ran across a silver 81, auto, sunroof car with manhole wheels. Runs and drives, Should be available next week. If you know someone looking for a good starter 928 to catch up maintenance on and get into pretty inexpensively, let me know. I'll post some photos once I have time to get out to the shop and take them. Jeff Evans

85 Euro (AT) Redmond WA

Anyone on here? Looks pretty clean and decent price https://seattle.craigslist.org/est/ctd/d/redmond-1985-porsche-928/7700441684.html Edit: Read the ad, sounds like someones estate is selling for the former owner (from Friday Harbor). Perhaps Jim and Sue know him as it was apparently at the San Juan Concours event.

While I realize that the short answer is probably "no," because any attempt to replicate the optics of an incandescent filament with LEDs on a board is inevitably a bit compromised, I know that sometimes one can get lucky and find an LED retrofit that actually works OK in a given lamp if not universally. And so I've been thinking: 1) The driving lights on the S4 are there primarily to provide the flashing function when the headlights are stowed, so there's not much downside to a somewhat-flawed beam pattern (i.e. I'm not convinced they contribute noticeably to the net illumination you get when the high beams are turned on). 2) While looking through the wiring diagrams for something else the other day, I was surprised to discover that the driving lights on the S4 are NOT powered through a relay, but rather all their current goes through the column switch (not just for flashing, which is typical, but also when the high beams are on, despite the current for the high beam filaments within the headlights going through a relay). My first instinct in response to #2 was that I should add a relay, just like I would for an older car that didn't have any headlight relays to begin with. But considered in conjunction with #1, maybe the more elegant means of prolonging the life of the column switch would be to simply replace the driving light bulbs with LEDs! Have any of you tried this, and have you found a solution that doesn't suck? Thanks, Joe

Black hatch with gold tint (iirc) window
If anyone needs a decent rear hatch, I have a spare one here. I think it is an early spoilerless one. Also has a good rear window in it. Going to try and clean out some of the spare 928 parts in the garage, it's getting way too full in here. It's in tacoma. Jeff Evans

1991 GTS 5 Speed on PCARMARKET

A Canadian car (km's) is on PCARMARKET, located in CA. Only 88k miles. Has few strange things - repaint, wiring - pics & comments. Anyone know anything about this car? To me, it almost looks like I have seen some of these pictures previously on PCARMARKET. https://www.pcarmarket.com/auction/1993-porsche-928-gts-2/ Keith in BG

Kermit green 79 on craigslist (BC- Canada)
Kermit (lt green metallic) 79 OB 5 spd with green interior. Apparently has 300 hp Euro engine installed but also includes original stock 4.5 engine (US/Canada car). Pic looks like the original engine. Rennlist thread said it has had partial repaint. https://vancouver.craigslist.org/van/cto/d/burnaby-1979-porsche-speed/7682137323.html They are asking 33k, but given prices recently and the relatively low kms (plus all original stuff) seems decently priced. Not a bargain but decent. Also has a sunroof which is unusual for the OB's. thread on rennlist: https://rennlist.com/forums/928-forum/1171277-introduction-to-me-and-my-79-928-a.html

Portland area meetup?, Brake pad questions
15
Michael B- It would be great to meet up sometime! I was thinking some Portland area meetups would make sense. Ken and I were talking about tinkering with the vacuum line on my automatic transmission. (Shifts hard when coasting in stop and go traffic). Also, I just shot Tom928 an email seeing if he might be interested in getting together for some projects. It would be cool if other Pacnw928 guys could join us, but it may not be practical due to the distance involved. I'm always happy to help people with 928 projects...heck, I don't even care if its a 928. I just enjoy wrenching and learning about mechanical stuff. Probably, the most urgent task on my shark is to swap out the rear brake pads. I've done brakes on Corollas, but never on a 928. Seems pretty straight forward. I'm down to 1-2 mm on those rear pads. When Ken took a peek at the rotors, he thought they might be good for one more set of pads. So I'd hate to score up these rotors by putting the job off too long. (Who knows if the brake pad sensors will work, right??) Pacnw928 guys- I could use some advice on choosing the right brake pads. I've driven a lot of beaters in my life, and the stopping distance of those cars was terrible, so anything I put in the 928 will be better than what I'm used to. I'm not racing, so I don't need to stop that quickly. Also, I don't care that much about dusting. I can't see thru to my calipers and rotors, so dust doesn't bother me. My priorities are a pad that won't eat my rotors quickly, and one that doesn't squeak. Any suggestions? Also, some advice about the best suppliers for 928 brake pads would be appreciated. Thanks!

I had a great time. The run back gave me a chance to sort out the mixture on the CIS. I came back up via 101/3 through Shelton. Sunday was an antique car show, so I stayed a while. Ken: stopped at Napa and got some lithium grease. The bonnet now works! And thanks everyone for the help on adjusting the timing belt. Sadly, this was pretty much the last trip for the 928.

Seeking S4 fog/driving light lens
7
I've got a sizeable stone chip in my left fog light lens; anyone have an extra one lying around, or a USA-spec S4 parts car? (Or want to sell me both complete lamp assemblies of a ROW-spec S4 parts car, since fog and driving light positions are reversed on the USA version?) Thanks, Joe

Weird one today with my starter
3
I went to move the 928 today. Started fine, but the starter wouldnt disengage. Apparently the solenoid stuck. Went to shit it off with the ignition key, Everything powered down, but the engine kept running. Seems the direct connection to the battery allowed the starter to keep turning and keep the engine running. Took way too long to get to the battery and disconnect it

Last Hooked On Driving Days - October 6 & 7 At The Ridge
4
Hey everyone - Last Hooked On Driving (HOD) event is this Friday and Saturday at The Ridge Motorsports Park in Shelton, WA. I am sure it is too late to sign up (we have 65 cars Friday and 85 on Sunday). Since my 1980 is retired from the track, I won't be able to give rides like I did with "Middleman" when he visited last year, but if you come to watch at all, I can get anyone a Coach Demo Ride with someone in a variety of cars - Bring your helmet if you have an SA2015 or newer one. "M" helmets are not allowed at HOD. HOD has helmets that can be used if you do not have an approved lid. I will be driving my Race Car - At this point I have no student on Friday, so I should be driving all C group sessions (on the hour). Black & White #41 Stock Car for those who did not make it to the Battle Ground BBQ in August.... Saturday I have an A Client I am Coaching but should have a fair amount of driving time and time to talk and set up Demo rides for anyone who decides to visit to watch & wants a ride with a Coach. Let me know if anyone has any questions. If you are not busy, come out and give a look at HOD. Keith Martin 1980 Metallic Black 5 Speed S4 Brakes & Wing, S Spoiler & Euro S Cams
