@@inline4smilez Not legally 😂

youll be doing all that in 2nd gear bored as hell, which is why I barely drive my boosted 240 or M cars

Watch more videos it’s already off 😂

Thank you! I enjoy it a lot hahaha.

@@ireiaand gotta hand it to the dash cam it’s the built in mic! Now I need to recruit a buddy to film a flyby from outside 🤪

@@TakeFlightGarage dang it sounds that good from inside? That’s awesome man, for sure! That would be so cool to see. maybe even more vlog like driving content could be interesting, I think everyone would love to see that!

@@ireiaand I definitely wanna shoot some stuff like that. That’s for sure where a legit camera and mic setup would be clutch!

@@ireiaandI should’ve put the roof up but u did have the windows down 😅

@@TakeFlightGarage ohh yea true true I suppose even just a GoPro would be sufficient for most things! They’ve gotten great in recent years. Ohh okay I was wondering why I could hear it so well inside the car!

@@Martin-yi6py you might want to check the refrigerant level, when the level is either too low, or too high the compressor will kick on and off repeatedly. Most places will offer free system checks, so I’d start by contacting a shop that you trust to check the level. I hope that helps!

​ @TakeFlightGarage Hi! Thank you for the answer. I have a climate machine at home and I have tried to fill the system with several levels of R134a... I started with 750 grams of R134a and I had these issues. I have lowered it to 450 grams and the AC works better (longer cycles). In neutral (1000rpm) the compressor doesn't disengage. Only if the RPM goes up to 3000, on the low pressure side the pressure decreases to 1,5 bar and the AC compressor disengages. After that (5 sec.) de compressor engages again for 10 or so seconds... But on your car, does the compressor engage once and does it stay engaged the whole time?

@@Martin-yi6py sounds to me like your low side pressure is just slightly too low, it should be closer to 2 bar or 30 psi which is the low side fill pressure. The high side should be 150 to 200psi. My compressor does not engage and then disengage it stays on as long as I have the ac button and recirculation buttons engaged.

Make sure it’s the right weight of oil, the right weight of refrigerant, the right components for a 134 conversion, and that there are no leaks or nothing is frozen like the expansion valve. If the pressure is too low or too high, a safety switch will shut off the compressor.

@@TakeFlightGarage Thank you! I will check the levels again! Greetings!

@@AK_918 You’re right in that there’s two different part numbers. However from what I understand it’s not the stiffness, one is meant for the cut a strut insert and the other is meant for the replaceable cartridge. The part number I ordered was 8641-1038 sport. The other part number is for the 87+ cars 8641-1414. There’s actually a physical difference in that the later cars have that little nut on the bottom. It’s meant to lock the cartridge in place when using the cut a strut on the later cars as you’re supposed to drill out a hole in the housing for the nut to fit through, so that a bolt can be threaded in from underneath.

@@ireiaand stoked so is it a done deal then????

@@TakeFlightGarage ugh dude I wish! Still waiting on a PPI and him to figure out what he’s doing with the fuel lines…(they’re original so he wants to replace them before selling) and technically the car is over budget so I’ve gotta talk with my parents about it, perhaps try negotiate with the seller for a lower price.

@@ireiaand tell him you’ll take it as is without the fuel lines (you can then just buy the rennbay kit for I think like $90-$130 and have your chance to wrench on it. That’s the only thing that’s a bit weird about him listing the car for sale if he’s not really ready to sell it Yanno? The over budget part is tough but I’ll give you the same advice I gave to another viewer in Germany who’s shopping for an S2 (out there those things are selling for 25-30k) don’t stretch yourself super thin on buying the car in the first place, because something can always happen and it would suck for you to spend a ton of money on a car only to immediately have to have it sit. Since he’s taking forever to do things like the fuel lines you can use it to your advantage to save a bit more money in the meantime to put you in a bit of a better position to buy it (say after a couple more paychecks or something) but in the meantime I’d still keep looking because a better deal might pop up.

@@TakeFlightGarage ah yea that’s what we were thinking, but he insists on having them replaced. I guess he feels worried the car might catch on fire as one of his buddies had his go up in flames for the same reason. Oh wow I didn’t know they were that pricy there, would’ve thought the opposite haha. Yea I think especially as a first car I don’t want to spend too much acquiring it, this one is currently at 22K still a good price just might be too expensive for me. I’ll have to see later this week when I talk with my parents as they’re helping buy the car, maybe if we can get it down to the higher teens it might be better for us. Definitely going to continue to keep a look out! As you said a better priced one may pop up, saw one that did although it had a rebuilt title (hit a curb apparently) for 15K exact same car otherwise mileage condition etc

@@ireiaand there’s an auto updating list of all the 944s for sale on fb market place that someone made and put up on Reddit, talk about kid in a candy store hahaha it’s a dope thing just to go check out and browse!

Thank you!

Hahahahha thank you! And check the description I put a whole thingy up there about what I was doing hahahaha.

@@TakeFlightGarageohhh yes I see that now! Hmm only thing I would say is perhaps it’s a tad bit oversaturated in my opinion, but definitely looks very good not washed out at all!

@@ireiaandI’ll take it! Hahahah I appreciate the feedback! It might be time to invest in a proper camera after 7 years in on this channel hahahahha.

@@TakeFlightGarage ah haha what one do you use currently? I would say in my opinion the quality itself is great! Sometimes colour is just hard to pick up no matter the circumstances. Atleast with my experience in photography haha

@@ireiaand I am an absolute noob when it comes to film and photography and composition and allllll that stuff. All my videos are shot on an iPhone (no meme intended) in fact I was thinking about 3d printing a gimbal to help with filming more stable and better B roll

Thank you!!!! Before I forget here’s my email, shoot me one and later today I’ll get back to you and we can exchange numbers and maybe work a video out or just chat Porsches! Looking forward to it!

That’s a great question! So there’s a lot of well established courses through different brands and companies as an example King Schools is a big one, Sportys pilot shop has courses for every rating, those are all independent courses that are all online, and it’s meant to work together with your in flight training. I don’t think that would need to change because the same way that you can take a physics 101 course at ASU or a physics 101 course at SDSU, it all still ties into the same overall (pizza of knowledge) if that make sense 😂. Two slices of what is ultimately on the same pie. When you finish these courses you actually do need to present a certificate saying that you’ve completed the course to the testing administrator when you go to take your written exams. So at least for the online stuff you could still pick whatever school or brand you’d like to go with and do that part of it from a laptop or pc at home as long as the flight school you’re training at approves!

@@TakeFlightGarage ohhh okay hmm interesting, I wasn’t aware of that! I suppose it’s similar to driving school just a lot more in depth and much longer to complete! Was just wondering as I’ve always liked airplanes just haven’t looked at being a pilot due to other ambitions. Still interesting to learn about though!

@@ireiaand For sure! You sound like you’re still in high school to me (forgive me if I’m wrong) but I’m curious what you’re looking to pursue! Other than Porsche ownership ;)

@@TakeFlightGarage haha yep! Currently in sophomore year, looking to hopefully peruse business or financials as I find that very interesting!

There are scholarships out there it’s just either you have to pay to be a member to a club to even be eligible to apply for them/ there’s just not the same volume that’s out there the same way that you can get one through a major university. Tell your friend I said good luck, and I’d love to hear his feedback on the whole ethos of TFG!

@@TakeFlightGarage Ah I suppose that makes more sense, perhaps is it because they don’t receive as much funding? I’ll let him know that! I’ll also see what he says. Good luck with your flying as well!

@@ireiaand it’s actually wild but my theory is that flight training just was never changed in how it was done dating back to the Second World War, and it just never progressed the same way other things happened to. Who knows! 🤷🏻‍♂️ You’re definitely right in that flight schools like 61 and 141 schools ultimately are just privately run businesses, so students are really seen as “customers” which is crazy. They’re literally called schools and students but it’s treated the same as people selling the information needed to fly. Imagine walking into a grocery store and buying a rating off the shelf 😂😂😂. It’s a wild concept!

@@TakeFlightGarage hmm I mean I guess that would make sense as planes sorta have the same basic function so you just need to teach it. Yea I guess much like private colleges that easily charge 90k+ for a years tuition, they do see students as customers and themselves as a business. So I suppose it’s just interesting to learn about the differences in how the schools operate but still teach the same things.

@@ireiaand exactly!

@@ireiaand Thanks so much for the kind words man means a ton to me! Super appreciative of your support! Wishing you all the best in your search for a 944 I think you’ve got all the info you’ll need not only to hunt a proper car down but take care of it for a long time to come. 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

@@TakeFlightGarage haha only got all that information from you! Going to check out that mostly original one tomorrow… seller said he’s not selling it until he replaces the fuel lines (all original) surprised it hasn’t caught fire… I’ll let you know how it goes! Super clean turbo overall tho 69k miles guards red with cream interior.

@@schrockahasi see if you can find a fairly clean set on eBay. OEM replacements are insanely expensive like $180 per housing

@@TakeFlightGarage I looked for some aftermarket LED lights that would fit in the opening haven’t found any yet.

I’ve done my best hahaha she’s almost finished! This car is 944 number 2 for me I’m ready for a nice daily driver to keep this car preserved. I was thinking of chasing down a 986 or an a4 when I have some savings. If money wasn’t an option I’d absolutely love to own a cayman though!

@@markyamaguchi9571 I’ll be talking about airplane stuff soon hopefully you’ll stick around for that!

I hope it's not the one with the Porsche engine

@@markyamaguchi9571 lol nope

There’s a whole saga that took place with this 5 minute mistake lol. I ended up filing a claim with my insurance and had to buy an entire new set of wheels. The only saving grace is that the new rims aren’t reproductions. They’re made by the original company that has been producing Fuchs wheels since the 60s for Porsche. Def wasn’t cheap lol.

ua-cam.com/video/6-3HR_cDYvQ/v-deo.htmlsi=FROhYKTh5hqKztya

@@TakeFlightGarage oh yea I watched that video! Remember it was one of the first ones of yours that popped up! Beautiful wheels I’m stuck between them and the phone dials haha

@@ireiaand personally I def prefer the Fuchs. They are just straight up iconic. Plus they look great on any color car too!

@@TakeFlightGarage ohh yea fs that’s what I’m thinking too, classic design it also makes the car itself seem more classic rather than something from the 90s, not a fan of the turbo twists from 996s that some people put on. To each their own I suppose tho!

Thank you! I went a little ham for a flight sim setup because I knew there were gonna be long stints where I wouldn’t actually be flying so to have a tool at home to practice procedural stuff has been a great help. When I start going heavier into the aviation content I’ll be sure to do a video covering the setup!

@@TakeFlightGarage oooo that’ll be sick!! Can’t wait to see that! I’m assuming you’re training to become a pilot correct?

@@ireiaand Yeah I have my private license already, I’ve got instrument commercial and CFI/ CFII still to go

@@TakeFlightGarage oh shoot that’s gonna be sick! Got a friend who’s getting his private license soon then going through the same course, best of luck with that! I’m sure flying planes is lots of fun!

@@saraflores9601 Truth!

Totally forgot about those thank you!!!!

You need a long 6mm Allen for the cam housing bolts ,BUT !!!!! NEVER USE THE BALL END ALLEN !!! 😊😊😊 also ,give those a good wack with a hammer before trying to break them loose 😂😂😂 just sayin

Ручник не отпущен

I don’t think that was his car being revved like that it was something in the background. Being there in person you could tell he was driving normally.

@TakeFlightGarage Yea really had me confused. My brain was stuttering on me, im hearing a loud rev and the cars driving normally lol invisible burnout.

@@vanoraska 😂😂😂😂😂 some old guy ripping in a 911 off camera. Rest assured 944s don’t sound like that hahahaha.

Ugh man if I still had those doors I would’ve let you just take a whole door 😂😂😂

Lol I can’t argue with you on the quality that’s for sure but the main point is that in general a good tap and die set is something that’s good to have around, but I totally agree on the quality, whenever I’ve got the funds to do so I’ll be upgrading to something really nice. Thanks for your comment, I’m gonna pin it so everyone is sure to see that they know to get quality stuff.

Same but on 2 cars 😅😅😅

Thank you!!!!

That’s awesome man I’m glad to hear that. Good luck!!! I appreciate you for watching!

@@TakeFlightGaragethought I’d give you a quick update! The grey one must’ve sold owner said he was showing it to someone and hasn’t responded since, found a 1986 Guards Red Turbo with 69k miles for a great price, going to have a look at it this Sunday! Hopefully all goes well and I’ll finally be in the 944 community :)

@@ireiaand Good luck!

Hey Marc, as far as I can tell these pumps are made here in the USA and so far it’s outlasted the Bosch pump that failed on me. This pump has about 10k miles and 16 months use on it and has been great for me so I’m very happy with it.

Nah I don’t have any social media besides this UA-cam page. Ngl I can’t stand those apps 😅

@TakeFlightGarage I think you should consider joining just for the 944 groups.

@@rrassoc I’ll keep it in mind, I am on rennlist though!

Interesting info I’d never heard that about the differences in paint! I vaguely recall seeing something about the change in guards red, the only thing I for sure know is that the paint code for one of them is LM3A

Ha! I would’ve delivered it here to AZ if I could 😂😂😂😂😂 not gonna be worth the near $1,000 to ship it though :/ that’s seat/ Saratoga top money 😅

This is well said 👌🏻

At that point it’s all up to the overall condition of the car, if the paint is very clean no scratches, no tears in the leather, and all that stuff, then that price I would consider very fair with only 67k. That’s pretty darn low mileage for a car this old, especially if the car is in crazy good shape. But t doesn’t hurt to reach out to him and ask some questions! Rubber will be fine until it needs to be messed with, that’s when it’s gonna start to break. If the car was kept inside esp in a climate controlled environment then everything should be preserved rather well. The only big thing that’s gonna be in your future on that car would probably be a clutch.

@@TakeFlightGarage hmm okay thank you for your opinion! Yea the car basically looks like it rolled off the production line yesterday, seems to be in superb condition! Ahh yea haha suppose that makes sense, hopefully it doesn’t need everything messing with might have a look at it soon! But yea the low mileage might also be something to look at as I’ve heard these cars don’t like to sit and start to have a lot of problems from going as a garage queen to a daily driver…

@@ireiaand I probably wouldn’t use it as a daily honestly just because it’s in such great condition mainly because everything’s gonna drive you nuts like where you park it scratches dings all that stuff. There’s a def a level of paranoia I have about my 86 that I never had about the 83. If you baby the clutch it should have plenty of life left but you’re right about the cars not liking to sit. Could cause fuel problems etc. But I will say if this is legit like a concours level car 18k does sound like a pretty good opportunity for it to be a forever car. They were meant to be driven so throwing miles on the clock was never a big deal to me, but it’s all the other daily aspects I’d be worried about. Here’s my .02; If you’re looking for a daily to get to and from school/ work/ college, I’d shop for something in the 12-14k max mark, with deals that are still out there for closer to 10 (944 values are all over the place it’s annoying lol) and I’d basically keep that extra cash in your account for “emergency” purposes like an oopsy daisy clutch job. On the other hand, if this is gonna be a car that you intent to keep forever and the oncoming maintenance isn’t too big a worry because the car can be down for a while, won’t be driven hard or far everyday but will still see some moderate use, then you can own it comfortably and not really worry about the financial aspects of things. If everything’s original on it once you subject it to daily duty it’s definitely gonna show its age. When I cover all the modifications I’ve done to my car I’ll make sure to include a closing piece talking about where I spent money on mine and why and how someone might be able to take a more inexpensive car as their first car and do all those mods and have a very solid setup without having to worry too much about what is/ isn’t gonna break in the future.

@@TakeFlightGarage I appreciate the detailed response! Yea I definitely feel that this car perhaps may be “too nice” for a daily, perhaps one that has been used moderately with maybe 100-140k miles that’s had those old parts wear out and be replaced might keep the car more affordable to begin with before it requires a full array of things due to wearing out with age. The 944 would be my first car ever, I’m not sure if I would have it forever perhaps down the line I would like to get my dream car a 62 bug (a lot less cooler but I love them) but I may fall in love so much with the 944 like you have done yourself and not feel able to ever let it go haha. Might just have to get more garage space… Overall tho, looking at what you have said the car would typically do 14 miles a day just to school and back, hoping to find the best example I can, as then hopefully it won’t have problems that ones that have been neglected may have (unsure of everything that can go wrong with them, but things like timing belts possibly causing damage due to not being replaced frequently could be a sign I’m hoping to avoid all together) My budget for one of these guys is probably somewhere below 20 perhaps might see if I can find a turbo for a good value as that would be a dream but I’m sure I could find a great base model too that can still hold up to daily use. Not going to drive it too hard like track days or anything perhaps just spirited driving on occasion. One thing that’s slightly unfortunate is I won’t be able to store the car in a garage but I do have access to a clean driveway and I’ll get a cover to have it in every night to hopefully keep it in the best condition! I appreciate your response and it’s definitely helping when making choices on getting that first 944 definitely will be talking to my parents about the information you have given me! And I’ll most definitely watch your future videos on it!

If you’ve got a back up you’re golden I used to walk to school hahaha. Long story short they didn’t torque anything period. So my AC compressor was loose, and one bolt backed out of the tensioner so that time the ac compressor was literally only being held in place by the belt. They also didn’t bother re installing my under trey which is a $200 part.

@@TakeFlightGarage haha was it a common occurrence walking? I’m hoping most days than not I can drive as it isn’t the easiest bike… Oh wow that seems like some very shoddy workman ship wonder if they like forgot it just genuinely had no clue what they were doing

@@ireiaandnah once I sorted most things out I was driving everyday. Only a hand full of times I couldn’t drive the car to school.

@@TakeFlightGarage hmm okay that’s good to hear! What would you recommend the best way to go about getting the car? It’s about a 5 hour drive from us, so we were thinking get on a call with the seller get to know him, get more info on the car, more photos, then get it sent for a pre purchase inspection by a Porsche specialized garage then go down the next day?

@@ireiaand I think that’s an excellent idea. All of those are spot on 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻. Depending on the age of the belts it’s your decision if you want to drive it or not. Both times I bought my cars I decided to just have them shipped home. It was about the same distance 5-6 hours or around 300 miles. It’s up to you to have it shipped home that’s personal preference, I’d budget around $500-$600 to have it trucked home. Just remember that every car is different so I can’t give you exactly what to expect or guarantee anything, but hopefully with all the info you’ll have all the ammo you need to make a well informed decision!
