Sharktuner in Portland area?
Alex, the person that bought my 928, is chasing a rough idle. Since it has a Sharktuner chip, perhaps that might give a clue. Is there someone int he Portland area that has the Sharktuner app? I suggested he join here, but in the meantime you can respond here and I'll forward any info. Bill

Body side mouldings
Odd request. Misplaced mine in a couple of moves, so before I dig deep into the recesses of the garage I thought I'd check here to see if someone has some S4 (89) body side mouldings in black. Thinking of putting them back on for now since my anticipated full repaint is on hold (15 years now LOL). If you've got some, let me know. Thanks, Tom

manu-el transmission g28/05
Hey group - I have a recently removed G28/05 manual trans that I pulled out of my 81. It has ill syncros that don't let you shift from 4-3 and 3-2. Shifting up is fine, but the downshifts aren't usable. So it's a core trans taking up increasingly valuable space in the shop. Great for someone that wants to send one away for rebuild. I think core price is about $300, so that takes it away. Located in Tacoma. Jeff Evans

I was driving home today from soccer and spotted a red S4 in my neighborhood that I had never seen before. I stopped in the road to look at it better and saw the home owner cutting his grass. He saw me stop and turned off his mower to hear me ask if it was a 87 or 88. He said 88, and as I had a car rolling up behind me, I told him I had a 85 and I¡¯d stop by one day to chat. A friend tonight said she saw me stop in front of her house¡other side¡and was yelling at me to ask why I had stopped¡but my passenger side window was up and I¡¯m driving a 2000 diesel? Anyway, she said she¡¯s pass on my contact info, so I gave her my info and the group email. Hoping he chimes in!??

1980 track car (Portland)

Haven't seen this one around. Anyone know more about it, says 5.0 supercharged. Looks like a CIS euro engine (maybe 5.0 bottom end)? Keith, have you seen this one at the track? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/470137192629496/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3Ab916b86b-6b6a-47b3-b1fc-848f70ad456b

Continental Orange 78 in Portland Copart
4
https://www.copart.com/lot/85813494/salvage-1978-porsche-928-or-portland-north Anyone know more about this. Late number Euro 78. Important part being 5sp and originally continental orange (relatively rare). Looks like a lot of work, but if you have space, store it for the future and save from the crusher. Does anyone know how the Oregon Lien process works? Might go up in value after the coming apocalypse :D .

Extra circuit in seat back?
3
Does anyone know offhand what the extra connector is for under the seat, with a pair of wires going up into the backrest? Both the 12-way seats in my ¡®88 S4 (4 pairs of wires, one vacant) and the 8-way seats I acquired on eBay last year (one pair of wires, vacant) have it. -Joe

Kristall Grun metallic 85 Euro (Portland)
Alright Benno!. You have to add this to your collection. Love the color and interior. (except the painted spoilers). And it's a euro 85. Grand Prix motors in Portland https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/a50edfec-e474-442b-aca4-7a81e16d3b19/ some details from the ad: Porsche 928S (1985) 1-Owner (6th Prime Minister of Kuwait - Sheikh Nasser Al-Mohammed Al-Sabah) 6,950 miles (10,569 km) PTS Kristallgrun Metallic CXX Green Velour AutomaticThis Porsche 928 S is a rare find, boasting low mileage and being in excellent condition both technically and visually. It's no wonder, considering it has had only one owner throughout its life --- the sixth Prime Minister of Kuwait, Sheikh Nasser Al-Mohammad Al-Sabah. The car was kept at the Sheikh's villa in France and used exclusively as a weekend vehicle. As a result, it has clocked just 6,950 miles (10,569 km), as shown on the odometer (European specification).Sheikh Nasser was known for his penchant for unique and eye-catching cars, and this Porsche 928 S is no exception. It was custom-ordered in the rare PTS Kristallgrun Metallic color, featuring an exclusive CXX Green Velour interior with natural wood accents. To ensure the Sheikh was always connected, the car was equipped with an Alcatel phone.This rare Porsche 928 S is sure to be a highlight of any car collection.

S4 / 4.5 clutch interchange
6
Happy holidays all, I'm nearly able to get back to work on the 928 after a few months of home repairs and an unexpected E30 rebuild. I'm planning on installing the G28 trans I got a while back, since my OE 81 manual doesn't seem to like downshifting. I'm wondering about the feasibility of installing the single disc S4 stuff on the 4.5. I'm frustrated with the twin disc parts, and have the SD flywheel/pressure plate/ clutch arm/ bellhousing from the S4. Has anyone verified if this will work? I'd love to have a clutch with no issues when I get it all swapped out. Thanks - Jeff Evans

FS: Black 87+ new floor mat set, genuine Porsche
7
Greetings, I purchased this set of black mats with the hopes they would fit reasonably well in my 1980 car. Turns out they do not, but they do fit great in 1987 and later. No surprise, since that's what they are intended for. $100, brand new, located in Wenatchee. Hopefully someone can use them! Andrew 1980 928 5-speed

78 5sp for sale in Silverdale (on Facebook marketplace)
Interesting one. Likely redone seats (recaro fabric), and basically a bunch of parts inside (and some large bolt on spacers :D ), but doesn't really look that terrible (straight door panels). Outside looks pretty clean overall. They are asking $3,000. A bit high unless it's an early 78, but could make for a nice project for someone. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3865424620413160/ If anyone goes to look at it or inquires, I'd be curious to see the VIN and if it's original paint etc....

Local 944 and a 928 for sale
Found on Craigslist in Tacoma. Selling a 84 944, and mentions the 928 is for sale too. Pics also show a 911 (996?) in the mix. Prefers talking via phone call to chat about the Porsches :) . Seems to be an enthusiast from how the ad reads. Maybe a good deal for someone to check out. The 928 looks pre-86 and has H4 headlights. https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/d/tacoma-1984-porsche-944-low-miles-owner/7807852070.html
