1.8T 20V Turbo Swap
It has been a very long time since I updated the blog, so long so that I forgot the password! Anyway, after years of driving the 924 S as hard and fast as I could I figured I either needed to change the car, or add a little more power. I decided to go for … Continue reading
Carfection Front Engined Porsches Video
I know it has been a little (okay, long) while since may last post on here, I have to confess the SC has been getting most of my attention, and any 924 updates have been going in my GT Porsche updates, I will try and change that. However I, finally, have something new to share! … Continue reading
Sprint Trial
It has been a very long time since my last update, largely because I have been distracted by other things – cars and such – but am pleased to report the 924 S is still going well with little more than routine maintenance. About the only upgrade has been the exhaust, now a Dansk stainless … Continue reading
Another track day video!
Yet more of me driving in circles… Back to Bedford, this time for an Evo Magazine track evening. It was extremely wet in the day, and there was a big downpour once we got on track. I have mixed feelings about the rain, it is a pain not being able to really go for it, … Continue reading
Engine out
This isn’t a repost, I’ve been meddling again… In January 2012 I removed the 924’s engine and spent some very cold evenings replacing the seals. It was, without a doubt, the biggest mechanical job I’d undertaken so I was delighted that I actually did it right; it didn’t blow up and improved the car’s performance. … Continue reading
2013 with the 924 S, The Movie.
A year in the life… So, I haven’t been keeping the blog up to date with all of my shenanigans of late, partly due to time and partly because I never get around to adding the bits I write for GT Porsche, but I should change this over the Christmas break. This year has seen … Continue reading
Another Bedford Outing
Yes, I’ve been back to Bedford… Well, if Evo Magazine will keep running these track evenings. It was good one too. Conditions were pretty much spot on; warm, dry and most importantly, not too hot! I felt I was driving a lot better this time, although possibly a little aggressive in some of the corners, … Continue reading
Track Time, Videos
The reason I got into this… It took a while to get started, but I have managed a few track days in the 924 S now, mostly at Bedford Autodrome – which I will be using as a proving ground for any changes to the car, I am beginning to get to know the circuit, … Continue reading
Quicker Steering Conversion
When manual is too much… When my 924 S first arrived I was pleased to discover that it didn’t have power assisted steering. As the Porsche was bought as a track project I wanted a manual rack, for the feel and the feedback. The strange thing was, driving the car, it wasn’t quite what I’d … Continue reading
Engine Work Part 5 – Refitting
The end of it? Well… Having done all of the hard work piecing the engine back together I simply needed pop it back in. It all sounds so easy, in those terms. Sadly, it never really is. Once I had the engine back together I used the hoist to manoeuvre it back into position in front … Continue reading
