I just bought that one! Pretty neat. Also cool (and totally unrelated to 924's) is the article on the Greenster and the 908/3 and the first Aussie-delivered 356... good issue!

great thread, its funny that when you look at a 924 it still looks quite modern (and drives when sorted) when next to its contempory's most of the cars in those old mags look a bit well old if ya know what i mean, or maybe i'm addicted to porsche

Some interesting little tidbits in this article, including the continued perpetuation of the Dennet 2.4L myth* (click thumbnail for full article; use the picasa magnify feature to enlarge once you arrive at the image).
Engine Tech: Porsche 924
by Paul Davies
911 & Porsche World, July 2006
     
*See why the 2.4L claim is a myth and not fact. |
This article answers part of an earlier question I had about oil.
"Neil Harvey considers a good quality 20/W50 lubricant is best for a road going engine."
And as far as a good brand, I've heard good things about Valvoline VR-1 20w-50 or Kendall GT-1 20w-50 . But apparently it's a matter of opinion.
Thank you for posting that Mr. Ideola!

How come the 924 and Turbo are so different...?
And since when is the Fiat Panda a 'sports' car?!
