1988 Porsche 944 Turbo review from North America
"It's like driving a fighter jet"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine seals are currently leaking.
Front-end need alignment.
Leaking oil has possibly shorted out wheel sensor (s) and cause ABS to go crazy every time you push the brake pedal.
Sunroof doesn't function properly.
General comments?
Before the above mentioned issues this car could not be touched. It hugs the road and loves to GO GO GO!!
Previous owner installed a high intake air filter and new turbocharger with quicker spooling. When you open the throttle it puts you deep in the seat.
After its mechanical issues are solved, she will be awesome.
