I think the cups look better than 15x7 Teledials would. But a set of 16x8's lightly spaced out with stretched rubber and the car slightly lower would look the dogs bo11ocks!

V.nice mate. Actually thinking of buying a 944/924 myself at the moment. Prefer the muscle looks of the 944 but the 924 looks quite good in a simple way (and probably less likely to get stupid idiots in Citroen Paxo's trying to race you).
As you said, a car that needs no modding!

Very nice ride Mr. DubbedUp. I was taken with them myself a few months ago, but ended up with baby brother, a 2 litre 924 as the 2.5 litre lump in the '44/'24S scared me a tad. My mechanical skills are not that strong!  V.nice mate. Actually thinking of buying a 944/924 myself at the moment. ........ As you said, a car that needs no modding! DO IT! ;D You know you want to.  |

 Looks like you've found a cracker there!  When you consider how old the 924/944 designs are now they still look amazingly fresh and modern,yet not looking bloblike as most current cars do IMO.

Lovely car mate! One of the lads at work keeps going on about how he'd like one of these. His other half has other ideas though.  ;D |

Well looked at one today, needs some work but thinking of making an offer tomorrow! Yours is gorgeous by the way, very modern for a 20+ year old design! |

Thanks dudes! Its not without its defects when you look close up, but its good enough for me. The nice thing about these cars is that a) the motors are pretty robust and b) the bodies were galvanised on the later cars so they don't suffer from rust too badly. I've also found mine to be a hell of a lot more practical than I imagined.
I have to agree, they do look pretty fresh for a 30 year old design.

Good looking 924 there mate, I do like the simplicity of a 924 plus they are multo reliable as well.
Been living with the 944 for a week now and love driving it, and it has a good turn of pace, it will crack 100 in what seems like no time at all.
I need to spend a day detailing it before I get more pics up on here, as just now, it's a little flat looking.
Got a few knocks in the suspension to have a look at, but this one is a keeper..

Coolio. Looking forward to the pics. Check out the strut top bearings, they are notoriously iffy. Good looking 924 there mate, I do like the simplicity of a 924 plus they are multo reliable as well.

Are these like the top mounts? Or something different? If so I might have to bear this in mind as fairly easy to change if like a VW. |
