Took my "new" 944 in for a timing belt...  I thought that this job was

36K depending on the mileage.

Only recently when i'm driving my 86 944 in the extreme cold does it have a
problem with idle.  Once the car has warmed up the idle will drop from
normal range (800 rpm) all the way down to the first or second hash mark on

CAR magazine of the UK is reporting that Porsche is working on a new front
engine-rear drive sports-touring car to be powered by a version of the

I have a 928 and just purchased the hood and
rear hatch struts. Is there a trick to remove the old

I'm looking to spend around $15-20K to buy a 911 this spring. Right now I'm
just doing research on the best model and year to buy.  I was wondering if
anyone can give their opinion on the best investment year/type to buy.  I
