Acquired this very sad 924 a few months ago, It was calling me to fix it.
I will fix it once I understand the electrical issues, and clean out the old fuel system+ gas tank. Ordered a Power Probe to see what I need to do to figure out what is draining my battery that I just put on there.
Key goes in, try and start it, pull key out, dash stays luminated. Can't have that. I'm assuming it's the radio, or fog lights in terms of wiring. The Brake light on the center stays on as does the Battery and Oil, car has oil, I put it in, no foot brakes though, syncs right in.
CIS system seems iffy, but I understand it enough to take it apart and clean it. I am currently thinking about making my own fuse box as the old box seems like at some point it overheated and melted some places, I don't want something bad to happen, and the relays seem so difficult to obtain, and are also quite expensive, using a few 4/5ping relays and pigtails seems like my best bet.
I'm kind of all over the place on this thing, I have already started prepping the fenders, I've cleaned injectors, some fuel line in the rear(leaking) replaced 3 belts, including timing, will have to take it apart again, waiting for a new water pump, couldn't find the AC belt - I also have no idea how it works, through the blower?
(Where R34 tubing and connections?)
I'm also hurting in the wallet department so I'm just trying to tackle one thing at a time now.
Because I know the fuse box has signs of wear and tear, I'm tempted to create my own, and replace the old layout using 4/5pin relays. I used to work on STT's I understand how to wire things.
The DME, Does this have a special connector? - Where does it wire into?
I could in theory just use the same plug for that one.

Alright, still struggling with this thing.
I have sourced the essentials and I plan to do the next step this week.
I have finally installed the new intake manifold.
I have finally got the ZX9 Carbs set up.
I have finally got the carb balancing tool.
I dropped the tank, cleaned it up, ready for reinstall.
I need to lube up the transaxle and axles before I reinstall everything.
The only thing I haven't picked up is fuel line.
My question to anyone who may be able to assist is about the Fuel Injector Ports, I have no intention of going back to the CIS system. Would bonding the Injectors and the "Bucket" give me enough pressure to prevent an air leak, or will the 12mm x 1.5 be the best option with thread locker?
Currently only 1 bucket has minor damage on the top surface, I plan to file it and sand it down to make it as even as possible, if I do get feedback and the nut and bolt thing seems like its the best option.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Looking forward to trying to get her started this week if I get some solid feedback. |

That's where I was, coming up on two years ago, when I acquired my '80 931. It's been quite a journey, getting a very neglected car back on the road, and it's not about to become routine since my engine (though running ok) is in dire straights. Anyway, I've learned volumes on the 924, most of it from people here, and got a lot more help than I could ever ask for in advice and parts. I hope it's a great journey for you too! _________________ 1980 931 diamond in the rough |

Was reading all your threads last few days… I’m both frightened and excited!
I do want to document the journey as I have benefitted from others documented resuscitation/renovations on all models that I follow.
It’s going to be a journey! _________________ '82 931 |

This is my dad's Porsche 924. Hasn't been starred in 30+years and has sat in that spot for 15 years. Engine is froze up and we already tried putting marvels mystery oil in spark plug holes but nothing changed. No idea when will be able to work on it and try to get it running again. |

Thanks! I will probably start a thread to document the slow progress. Plan on being home for the 4th and will have some time to work on it I think. |

Hi Folks,
Just joining up and wanted to sat Hi,
So i am a Uk based 924 owner now it seems.
Just bought a 924 blind and having it delivered tomorrow.( i know should have known better) It is by far the roughest 924 in Uk and also was the cheapest. A father son project to get my gaming son off the X box and into the garage with me to strip and try to breath some life into old 924.
I do have an awareness of 80,s fuel systems and the challenges ahead,but this is why we have entered the arena of 924 fun.
lots to share and learn with my boy and head scratch along the way,plan is to have it up and running for his prom in four years time,as it will be his first car also.
