In a whirlwind of automotive drama, the JR Garage crew unveils and bids farewell to a rare gem - the Porsche 944 S2. This 80s classic, with its 3L 4-cylinder powerhouse, had the team's hearts aflutter despite its notorious timing chain woes. A true labor of love ensued as they entrusted the experts to revive the engine, sparing no expense with a head overhaul and timing component replacements sourced from the esteemed 944 online. The bill? A staggering $9,377.38, a testament to the hefty price tags vintage Porsches demand for their revival.
Amidst the engine saga, the team couldn't help but gush over the 944 S2's design marvels, from its 16-valve engine churning out 200+ horses to its practical rear hatch offering ample space for all sorts of adventures. Inside, the classic 944 interior exuded retro charm, with an updated dash and a surprisingly functional original radio that still crooned tunes from yesteryear. Despite minor quirks like a torn seat and a loose mirror, the allure of this vintage Porsche remained undeniable, a bittersweet symphony of beauty and beast under the hood.
As the dust settled on their Porsche passion project, the JR Garage aficionados found themselves at a crossroads, reflecting on the costly yet invaluable lessons learned from this automotive odyssey. With a nod to the inevitability of losses and the wisdom gained from mistakes, they bid adieu to the 944 S2, a chapter in their car-buying saga that added depth to their automotive expertise. And just when the echoes of the Porsche's engine fade, a new contender roars onto the scene - the Porsche Taycan 4S, a whisper-quiet electric marvel that promises a stress-free driving experience wrapped in cutting-edge technology and sound engineering.
