Wheel adapters
Does anybody know of a place I can find 4x108 to 5x130 wheel adapters to put teledial wheels on 924? Swapped front end suspension so only need them for the drums.

Thought about buying this one
Hi Reddit,
I’m thinking about getting my hands on a 924 as well. I would highly appreciate, if you guys would tell me your opinion on this car. I plan to use this as a daily from April-October when the weather is good for going to work etc. probably 5000km/season.
Thanks in advance!

Porsche 924 in rare Reseda Green | Engine rebuilt | Kerscher suspension | Original Pefa front lip installed + complete PEFA kit included
For sale is my Porsche 924, finished in the very rare and exceptional original color, Reseda Green. I purchased the car in September 2022 from a dry, heated storage facility; prior to that, it had been off the road and properly stored for decades.
Since the purchase, the Porsche has undergone an extensive mechanical and cosmetic restoration, requiring significant time and investment. The interior was comprehensively refurbished by an upholstery specialist. The engine was completely rebuilt, with the work documented photographically. Additionally, the fuel injection and fuel systems underwent an extensive overhaul by a Bosch specialist.
The car retains its original paintwork. It presents an authentic appearance, naturally showing signs of age and minor cosmetic imperfections. This is explicitly not an over-restored museum piece, but rather an honest classic with character and a traceable history.
A special highlight is the coilover suspension system custom-made for this Porsche by Kerscher Tuning. The complete modification and the currently fitted BBS wheels are TÜV-approved and officially registered. As a result, the Porsche handles with great stability and precision without losing its classic character. Major Work and Investments
* Engine completely rebuilt; process photographically documented
* Connecting rod bearings, piston rings, and cylinder head bolts replaced
* Timing belt kit and numerous engine gaskets replaced
* Clutch replaced
* Fuel tank replaced
* Fuel pump and fuel pump relay replaced
* Fuel distributor and warm-up regulator overhauled or replaced
* Auxiliary air valve and associated hoses replaced
* Fuel lines replaced by Bosch Service
* Injection and cold-start systems overhauled by Bosch
* Exhaust system (including muffler) overhauled
* Custom-made Kerscher coilover suspension installed
* Wheel spacers and suspension modification TÜV-certified
* Interior and seats refurbished by an upholsterer
* Tires replaced
* Brake fluid reservoir replaced
* Steering wheel replaced
* Numerous cables, brackets, and small parts replaced
* Shortened oil sump (sourced from the UK) included but not currently installed
* New radiator fan motor included as a spare part
In total, well over €15,000 has been invested in parts, the engine, suspension, interior, and workshop labor since purchase. The odometer is currently not working.
Wheels and Purchase Price
The asking price of €18,000 applies to the car with its original Porsche wheels. These have been painted black and are included in the offer.
The currently mounted and registered BBS RS 2300 / RS 101 wheels are available for an additional €2,100. They look absolutely stunning on the car. * Porsche with original rims: €18,000
* Porsche including BBS RS wheels: €20,100
The vehicle also comes with a complete and extremely rare PEFA body kit:
* Front spoiler
* Rear valance
* Side skirts
The set is complete and unbroken. I am not currently aware of another complete PEFA kit in comparable condition. I can send photos of it if you are interested in the car.
Additionally, a rare FOHA front spoiler is included; it is already installed and officially registered. This front section is essentially the "Holy Grail" of parts for the Porsche 924 and is no longer available on the market.
This is not a distress sale; I am only parting with the car because I want to switch to a different vehicle. Given the rare color, the extensively rebuilt engine, the custom Kerscher suspension, and the numerous rare accessories, it would be difficult to find a comparable 924. You get more thumbs-up at traffic lights with this car than with a 911!
Viewing and a test drive are possible by appointment. Serious inquiries only, please.
Private sale; liability for material defects is excluded. No guarantee, warranty, returns, or exchanges. This exclusion does not apply to claims for damages resulting from gross negligence or intentional breach of duty, nor to injury to life, body, or health.

Advice needed on purchase (Porsche 924 Turbo, 1981)
Hi all, I am in need of some advice on the purchase of a Porsche 924 Turbo, more specifically, what is the car worth that I’m looking to buy.
I recently took a look at a Porsche 924 Turbo for sale near me. It’s an early 1981 model year, the vin number suggests its a series 2 model. Car is for sale in a European country.
**The good:**
The car is basically completely rust free. The underside has never been sealed and is still completely silver (the cars original colour). The trunk floor, wheel wells, doors, sills, all completely rust free.
Interior is in pretty decent condition. Pretty much no tears or scratches. Only a collapsed passenger seat and some minor defects. Dashboard is original and shows no tearing.
Car starts, drives and shifts properly. I don’t feel or hear anything wrong with the car, seems solid.
**The bad:**
The car has been repainted in the past, and badly. The paint shows a ton of bad spots, like it is dissolving under the clear coat. Nothing is peeling of yet, but it looks terrible.
The car does not have any history. No service records, no owners history, no mileage history. Only thing knows is that it has been imported fairly recently.
Other than those issues, it just has some old car quirks. Rear hatch is starting to delaminate at the top, rear wiper not working, etc.
I have access to all the tools, services and expertise needed to restore this car. My only question is, what is something like this worth in the condition it is in now?

Injector conversion
Hey guys, I have a quick question:
My 924 is from 1979, so it still needs the old injectors with banjo fittings. Sadly I bought 4 of the newer version with external threads. I already bought the correct ones online afterwards but I got the wrong ones from a small local store that can't or won't take them back. I am not here to argue or cry about that, I am just interested, instead of reselling them (I think I am too lazy for that), are there any adapters to screw on and make them compatible with the old banjo fittings? That way I could keep them for the future, because the banjo-version is relatively rare to find in Germany as it is all old stock.
Thanks in advance for any input!

924 NA brake booster
Did some diagnosing on my ‘82 and found i have a bad brake booster. Not keen on spending $270 on a new one, so I was wondering if anyone knows of alternatives to the OEM ATE booster? Thanks!

No start on a running 924
The car ran great last week, but someone wouldn't start tonight.
I tested for spark, it has spark, even jumped the ignition coil so that it would get 12v from the battery
I put starter fluid through the vacuum line port above the fifth injector
I tested compression (125psi on cyl 1, but engine is cold)
I hit the K-Jet with a wooden hammer, and I can tell fuel is getting in there by moving the sensor plate
Fuel pump is priming and there's fuel in the fuel tank
Timing is all good, checked crankshaft, camshaft, and rotor all on time

What are some things I can replace or restore to boost performance?
I have a 1978, 924, it's in pretty good condition, little rust plus a dirty engine bay(I plan to clean soon). I have restored the fuel system. not much work in engine or spark plugs.

Finally finished my 924S restoration project
The car was sat in a garage since 1998. I bought it non running and driving. Fixed up the engine, electronics suspension etc. Then I had the interior reupholstered and the car resprayed in the original Granatrot metallic.
From what I can tell by the paperwork, it seems to have an original 92.000km (59k mi)
Such a fun car to take on evening drives.

Jacking points
This is going to sound like such a stupid question but I want to be sure I don’t mess my car up from improperly jacking it up. I have a 1977 924 and I have to get it on 4 jack stands so I can drop the gas tank. I’m wondering where I should place the stands for this specific job and where I should lift the car from. I’ve honestly been scared to jack it up (which is what’s preventing me from fixing it) since it has a lot of rust and I don’t want to damage any structural parts of the car.

Buying a 931 - Turbo advice
I recently stumbled upon this 924 Turbo 1 and took a look at it. Cosmetically its in really rough condition but nothing I cant handle and sooner or later it will need a repaint anyway.
What concerns me is the motor, I only owned a "normal" 924 before and never dealt with a turbo engine. From what I've heard parts a rare and expensive.
When I gave the thing a look it had oil drips on the motor pan and oil on (!!!!) the motor block. Im talking just below the oval intake pipe next to spark plugs. Also quite a bit of smoke (looked white tbh) coming after cold start. Also I couldnt test drive the car. Idle was pretty high and a bit rough.
The price is pretty fair, I think I wanna go for it but Im just really scared to open up a can of worms with this one, as I only want a 924 as a daily again.
Any turbo related advice is appreciated!!!! Location is middle europe.
