Nice video here on what’s inside the 944 engine. By Van Svenson who is probably well-known to the 944 community for his many videos, including club racing events and his own sweet 944 spec racer.

Visiting Eric
This morning, following a quick shoot at a Web client’s place of business, I drop in on Eric. We inspect a 944 fender that is a candidate to replace the damaged left one that we have probably seen too often. … Continue reading
