With one project coming to a close we have started on the next. This here is a 1993 928 GTS, the headline for this project is better then factory finish

09/10/2026

Clients 924 Carrera GT in the workshop fresh from paint. Over the next few weeks we will get to assembly

01/09/2026

Time just flies, this is currently engine number 6 for the year with a few more lines up waiting for us to clear out some work. This girl was primarily pulled down for oil leaks but also to make it a bit tidier

30/07/2026

Here is a 94 928 GTS that we have almost completed, and again this one had original rotted head gaskets. This girl also had original cam chain and tensioner pads. Approximately 200,000kms on the engine

16/05/2026

Here is a 1984 928 engine that we are putting back together, while it ran ok it was a bit of an oil leak city, someone had even used silastic sealer on the entire lower section of the head to try and reduce the Exon Valdez effect that was overwhelming the garage floor.

28/11/2025

Here we have a 1989 944 Turbo. Essentially all 1989 Australian delivered turbos were of “S” spec but not called an S. They nearly all came delivered with M030 suspension and brakes, L*D, the forged anodised club sport wheels and sunroof. All were the larger turbocharger 250hp models. Now in this case the owner wants a bit more then what they came with new so we put in what we call our performance stage 1, boost controller, dual port wastegate, turbosmart recirculation valve and Vitesse chip. Bumps these up to around 350hp. The old M030 suspension was a bit tired and we have our go-to coil over kit. It’s the best bang for buck kit on the market where we can then run up rated springs and shocks. Lastly and not part of our kit is the S2 crown wheel and pinion upgrade. This girl is going to be just perfect when it leaves the shop

26/11/2025

To install a new crown wheel and pinion you need to set up the pinion bearing preload and then the pinion depth. The pinion depth for all 944 S2 crown wheels and pinions is 59.65. Now on all new crown wheels is the silent running for that specific C&P. This is added into the equation and the pinion setting tool is set with the new number. In this case it would have been 59.65 + 47. We then adjust/add/minus the shims until we get it perfect. Next we set differential preload and finally backlash in a similar procedure with shims. You can see my work sheet as we progress through
