Have a pair of NIB Weltmeister springs and a pair of stock springs for free if anyone wants or needs them. I think the new ones are rears and the stocks are fronts but would have to slide under the car to be sure. Bought them for drop springs but they didn¡¯t really drop the car any so put them back in the box.

Keeping on with my CIS testing. I have a 79 with a 063 WUR. The WUR was rebuilt 6 years ago, and has 4,000 miles on it. I had assumed that the top vacuum port on the WUR was supposed to hold vacuum, and that the lower port was to be vented. In my case, the top port is connected to the right side of the TB, while the lower port is connected to the rear of the TB But the top port does not hold vacuum, while the lower one does. Also, I went to go check my control and system pressures. My kit came fitted with M12x1.5 inverted flare fittings. But the hard line on the WUR has 10x1 fittings, both in the body side and the flare side. Any idea where I could find an adapter? Cheers

Still no group members showing up for Hooked On Driving. Following up from my message 2 weeks ago, HOD is back at the Ridge in Shelton tomorrow - Thursday June 20th. My #41 is back firmly on it's wheels (after fuel system clean-out - turns out the "in tank" PSI hose from the Fuel Pump was broken) and should be rockin' & rollin'. You can still sign up tonight or show up tomorrow by 7 AM to get your car on the track. There is room in C-Advanced (I will be leading that group of only 8 drivers), B - Intermediate (13 drivers), and A-Solo - Not enough coaches for late sign up if you need to be A Novice with Coach. I am also slated to perform Advanced Coaching if you are a "B" Driver and want a Coach for a session. The Ridge is a fantastic track - Was by far my favorite track for the 928. Hope to see some folks there. Keith Martin 1980 Metallic Black 5 speed with a few late model options.......

Hi all, Long time lister Jerry G has been doing some storage cleaning and found the two mid "large" resonators that had been replaced by small mufflers on his long gone 87S4. These look pretty clean coming from a low mile S4 before being removed. They are available for free if anyone wants them. Note: These have been cut from the pipes, so it's just the two resonators. Pics below. Let me know and I can put you in touch with Jerry......otherwise they'll be heading to the recycler. P.S. date code of 07/86 for those of you that do that kind of thing :) .

Misfire from fuel injector?
6
I am tracing down a misfire. Occurs only at idle. Opening the throttle and it goes away. Last season I was chasing the same issue. New plugs. Tested and cleaned plug wires. As I understand it, the injectors have a screen in them that can get clogged. So, at idle, the standard fuel pressure is not enough to cause it to fire But when the throttle is opened, there is enough pressure to overcome the blockage in the filter and allow it to fire. Anyone had this happen to them?

Hey all, Back in the US. Got the car put of storage. 1979 with CIS. new injectors, fuel regulator rebuilt. Vacuum hoses replaced with silicon a few years back. I have a surging idle when cold. Normally, this is the AAV. I have tried pinching off the output hose, but it makes no difference. What else should I be checking? Cheers

Xpipe mod - flared ends
2
Howdy all, considering a wild hair (hare?) improvement the connection from the Xpipes to the cat back section by either heating with OA and flaring the pipes and eliminate the band clamps that are unsightly and seal half ass. Alternatively I could weld on two donor ends as well and flare out the Xpipe ends. I MiG welded the rear connection already to my high flow cats and eliminated the rear pair of clamps. I think the doughnut seals (928.111.246.05) and associated Dansk style clamp (928.111.427.00) would make for a quicker and more solid connection and look more Porsche. Dumb idea? Brilliant? I have an annoying exhaust leak which is minor to fix but can hear it.

Jason and I represented at ERTC German Car day. Beautiful weather and lots of great Porsches amongst other. I got there early enough to make the Center Circle area. First for my "10 footer" 928 that just rolled over 340,000km (approx 211,000 miles). When he put a yellow tag under my windshield wiper I was sure I was being relegated to the back room, so imagine my surprise when he said, follow the Mansory RSQ8 Audi to the Center Circle. !! Even saw Anthony (Sir Mix Alot) being pretty much incognito and ignored by most of the folks around him LOL. Cheers, Tom

85S running again
8
Finally got mine back together and running, but I still have a issue. Took it for a drive and have a vibration when accelerating, the reason I took it apart in the first place. I replaced plugs, plug wires, caps, rotors but something else is wrong. Backed it back into the garage and was going to check the new plugs to see if they are all firing, but the hood release handle popped off, the cable is not budging, so I can¡¯t get the hood open. I¡¯ll dive in at some point this weekend to try to get the hood open and plugs checked out, but what are your thoughts? Clearly a cylinder isn¡¯t firing, could it be injectors?

In the Wild
Was driving South on 104 and saw a Red 928 driving North. Not sure if it is someone on this list or not. Not to often that I see another 928 on the road in the wild. In fact it has been a couple of decades in fat. Last one was in mid 2000's when I was at the Sharktober Fest. It was good to see one. David

Original WSM Documents
8
Does anyone in the Portland area have the original WSM documents that they'd let me borrow, so as to make new and improved scans of the wiring diagrams? I know this is sort of a big ask, but I'm willing to put in the time to get everything scanned and into an OCR'ed pdf. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers, Glenn

So sorry everyone - I meant to send this note Monday and did not get it sent. Update: There is hardly anyone signed up for this event. Looks like it may be a total of only 9 cars combined on the track for the B&C groups - which we are planning on running together - so it will be 30-minute sessions instead of 20-minute sessions every hour. If you are an "A" driver (not Solo approved) there may not be enough spots left, but try to sign up if you are able - we may not have enough Coaches for additional "A" students. It will be a great day - Partly cloudy, 74F - Perfect for the track. My #41 Stock Car will be on track - new Clutch & new tires (with only one session on them) so hope to be really turning it on and seeing how it goes. If you are able to be free tomorrow/Thursday 6/6/24 sign up & come out for a great day! If you just want to "check out" Hooked On Driving" (HOD), come out, find me, and I will get you a ride with a Coach to see what The Ridge Motorsports Park is like in Shelton, WA. Keith R.

Hey local friends: I am looking for GT or similar profile cams to put into an S4 motor I am building. Does anyone have any that they are hoarding in their parts? -- 1992 Porsche 928 GTS Japan market https://benno928.wordpress.com/

Caffeine and Gasoline Porsche day event at the Griots Garage store in Tacoma (S 38th St) this Saturday June 1. I'll try to be there unless it's a downpour. Forecast is showing some showers in the am, but it's early. Also supposed to be German Car day at ERTC but they will call it off if there's a 40% chance of showers forecast (they usually make the call on Thursday at some point). And a side note, Jeff Evans managed to get his 928 project (the one slated for a Maserati engine swap) into the showroom at Griots. So congrats Jeff and if folks are in the area, stop by and check it out. Griots Garage: 3333 S 38th St, Tacoma, WA 98409

2
Decided to do an engine swap on my 87 928, so the current engine is available, 153k miles. I believe it has GT cams in it, but I don't have any documentation to prove it. TB/WP was done in 2022. Come here it run and even drive it before it comes out. Car is at my mechanic up in the 7 Lakes area near Smoky Point. Price is $3k negotiable.

PDX car show @ Grant HS 5/19
For those who may be interested, a family friend¡¯s son is organizing a car show(not Porsche specific fyi). It¡¯s a senior class fundraiser. Elliott is a 928 fan, grandfather has a mint 914 and Elliott is a voracious student of things Porsche. His first car/truck is a F150 but am sure he¡¯s the next gen of Pcar owner in the making. My dog Angus and I headed down from Seattle early Sunday. https://www.facebook.com/share/RYpLRdVpUmQnKx46/?mibextid=9l3rBW Non facebookers: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd_UUMZWZ38soF3x2Sc1qECALViE71aD8nhaNd6czBrCQv31g/viewform?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR0NxsFIoMHLLBEAndXo3v9QT9G_2GHM8fVg0NtJ-Q2knxWMCh9VMneFtmk_aem_Aa1m45tXGBN21WTeq07b2GVcWPUy1r-PJMK3wJOYEDT-FhoShV4myZCt1iBD0IxhfX4njxWPVHn9wwknSNyns72y $15/entry supporting Grant High School Senior Class 2024 Grant High School 2245 NE 36th St Portland OR 97212 Thanks for looking! -- Stefan Damstrom 1988 928 S4 Venetian Blue / Champagne 5 spd 2004 Carrera 4S Cabriolet Arctic Silver/Black Bellevue
