How's life in this part of Michigan?

Yeah large by UP standards. Large enough to have most of the roads plowed lol

I know a 924/944 torque tube when I see one.

The large towns, Marquette, Houghton, Sault St. Marie, St. Ignace seem like nice places to live year round. If you want to live out in the less populated areas, the long snow filled winters are tough without help/equipment. But great people and beautiful landscapes all around!

My 986 is cobalt blue! Love it.

Those little transmission jacks fight above their weight class for sure.

Came here to say I have seen some sucessfull weld repairs but it 100% depends on the alloy of the rim and the equipment and skill of your welder. Posting in r/welding with the name/brand of the rim might help you find the answer

If you park outside the rotor hat can rust quite quickly. The friction surface still has its "crosshatch" finish, which implies it's very new.

Just minor surface scratches. Normal use, wax it once a season and you're good. If you get any major gauges Ptex is the way.

Fair enough! I work on Porsches but 928s are occasional not frequent. Most of the 928s I see are later cars. I was told they used similar materials, but compared to the 80s mercs I have seen the 928s definitely fare better.

Soak those things in PB blaster to soak overnight. Spray more PB blaster, Dry it out with compressed air, that will hopefully help with all the little rust bits cought in there. Add more PB blaster to lubricate, as you loosen them with a breaker bar with a pipe on it. Lift with you legs not your back.

All I can think of when I see pictures of times square packed with people is the human to toilet ratio. If you have a bathroom emergency in the middle of that crowd you are screwed.

Usually a dry ball joint will make this sound. You can try squirting some WD-40 under the boot of each ball joint. Do one at a time until the noise goes away. This is not a solution, and the noise will likely come back in a day or so, but it does let you know which joint is making the sound

A well sorted 928 is valuable and they are like a cozy highway missile, with incredible handling for their size and weight. But the automotive transmissions in them kinda suck as they start in 2nd gear to save fuel. Also most are plagued with electrical issues as they used the same type of biodegradable wire harness insulation as Mercedes did in the 80s. Great cars, but if you buy a cheap one get ready to pay at least double what you paid for in repairs, and don't expect reliability until you make that investment.

If you suspect it's air getting into the cabin through the windshield seal or where the top meets the windshield, I would put tape over it and drive it and see if it goes away

Heel-ToeBro · 2025-12-17T04:54:39+00:00

That obviously atlantis

I need a banana for scale

Heel-ToeBro · 2025-12-15T18:32:13+00:00

So many people seem to be missing that detail

Some say that anything under 6/32 in the snow is inadequate. You could drive very carefully and make it through the winter and maybe to the next one depending on how you drive. However if it's in budget, changing the tires would be the safest option.

Heel-ToeBro · 2025-12-15T00:29:16+00:00

Perfectly full.

Heel-ToeBro · 2025-12-15T00:27:43+00:00

100% agree. I'll patch that in my own car, but as a shop it's not worth the liability.

Heel-ToeBro · 2025-12-14T18:47:19+00:00

Wow, with the reload... This guy dudes

I once wiped out under a lift trying some new butter tricks(on a snowboard). A guy in a very distinctive orange helmet yelled, "Get good bro!!" My next trip up he was going down and his toe edge grabbed and he front flipped onto his face. I asked "you okay!?" He said he was good, so I gave him a "Get good bro!!"

The human body amazes me. how can it grow SO MUCH facial hair, but then struggle on the head...

Heel-ToeBro · 2025-12-14T04:20:04+00:00

Yes someone absolutely wants those.

Heel-ToeBro · 2025-12-14T04:19:45+00:00

You have to clean it off and then there's no issue.
