The chassis number codes for 1980 became less straight forward than the early years. 92 is the first two of the model. A is 1980. 0 is place of production, followed by the last digit of the model, 4. Next is the engine code: 1 & 2 are the 125hp version; 3 & 4 the 115hp version. All followed by the 4 digit serial number.

"About my car, it is a 1980 924 that is raced in E Production in the
SCCA (well almost ready to race). The car is Guards Red, the wheels are Cookie
Cutter 15x7 (per rules), the car has been completely
gutted for racing. The total weight is 2210 and I hope to get the car down to
2180. The CIS fuel injection has been replaced with a TMW intake
manifold and twin Weber DCOE 40 carbs. I replaced the Bosch electronics with
the Crane Cam XR700 ignition and PS91 Coil. I have a Bursch header with a
Thrush glass pack muffler. The suspension is being worked on as I write
this e-mail. I'm converting to Carrera coil overs on all four corners, 350lbs
springs in the front and 650lbs springs in the rear. The torsion bar was
tossed out. Weltmister swaybars were installed. The brakes were upgrade
per the rules to the 83-85 four wheel disc brakes with a Tilton bias adjuster.
I will be converting the car to all fiber
glass (except the roof and doors) this winter. I'm going to use the D
Production Kit from GT Racing in Minneapolis, MN. I already have the front and
rear bumpers from the kit on the car. I will also be replacing the rear window
with a Lexan replacement. |

 My
1980 924 seems to be a RARE car from what ive found out.. my car
came with dual fuel pumps, Larger Fuel accumulator, Larger drive shafts and hubs, 5
speed like the Snail shell on previous 924 pages (seller was selling that seperate
since it was out of the car) i installed a 4speed which i had off a previous 924) ,
5 lug spyder wheels that are 15x8 and deep offset so deep the wheel spacers are 1
inch thick. i have 4 wheel disc rotors that are the same size as the 944 turbos with
928 calipers (STOCK not aftermarket). i had flared fenders but driverside got
smashed so it was replaced with a 924 fender . my rear wing is slightly larger than
the 944 wing. i now have ceramic coated header (burch) a ceramic coated valve cover
, Highoutput coil , Solid EMsport motor mount, Slotted EMsport Rotors, Stainless
exhaust cat back same as the 944 of which it had stock on this car.. had the m471
package and the stock seats were porsche race seats (black with emblem) i didnt get
those they were sold before i got the car.. this car has the origanal milage of
82,000 miles on it if you wish to see pictures or what EMsport will do next to the

 My
car has gone through a lot of  changes
since it was built, Carrera GT body kit, GT suspension, GT intercooler and turbo.
BBS rims, Pirelli`s and full Recaro interior. I'm in the process of rebuilding the
motor, to get more power. 240kw would be nice. can anybody give me advise to this
mater??? I plan to up the boost to 1.1 bar, install Motec engine management system
M4 pro on the Porsche, with Bosch 803 injectors, a nitrous oxide system with about a
50 to 100hp boost. I have installed water sprays in the intercooler and changed the
air intake to get fresh air from the front vent. Can anybody give advise on head
work, and how much power the bottom end can take. I will be installing a copper head
gasket. as the car was it is very good, but I'm to much of a rev head and need more
power, the car handles orsome and the top end speed of 260km, at high speed the car
is very stable I love getting smoke coming from the tyres and doing donuts, orsome!!! |

 This
car is an "S" model with the S decal on the hood.Color is Venus Rot. The car sat in a "barn" for about 15 years and has been in the restoration process for about 2 and a half years. The original tires were dry rotted. The paint and interior are original, although the car was covered with house paint overspray. It has only 18,500 miles on it, but the engine had seized and the cylinder walls were too pitted to save. The engine now in the car came from another 80 931 via ebay and I have rebuilt with 87 mm pistons, it installed a new clutch, and fuel system including tank, fuel pumps, accumulator filter and injectors. It is now (I am happy to say) running and street legal. The car was first sold by Camelback Porsche in Arizona for just under 24K. Because it is a German car out of the desert, it is now affectionately known as the "Desert Fox". A bit corny I know...but hey! |

 Owned
this car since 1987 and just can't seem to part with it. Most mechanicals have been
rebuilt: transaxle, clutch, engine top end, wastegate, turbo (twice). Now running 14
psi wastegate spring and boy is she fast. Catalytic converter coughed up its core
long ago, providing slightly quicker turbo spin-up. It still passes emission tests
with flying colors when all Lambda FI components are hooked up. The front seats need
some work and the paint is not as brilliant as in days gone by, but hey, it's the

Plans are to rebuild the turbo, new suspension bushings, an adjustable rear sway bar, and some fresh paint. With the help of a parts car purchased in 1998, my 'baby' should hopefully be back on the road by late 2000." |

with M471 package. Awesome suspension, brakes and chassis but crappy engine and weak
gearbox. Colour is petrol blue with moca interior with op art panels in two tone
brown. Driver seat was replaced with Corbeau seat and all seat faces were changed to
same colour constant checker fabric for less than half the cost of the one seat
panel that was ripped. Four wheel vented discs with forged magnesium alloy wheels.
Tires 205/55VR16 and best rubber was Yokohama A008s. These replaced the original
Pirelli P-7s which aged poorly. When I contacted Pirelli Canada and showed them the
condition of the tires near the end of their life I was told I drove them too hard!I bought this car with about 44,000 kms in December 1983 as a graduation present to myself. It replaced my 1970 Datsun 240Z (HLS 3000718, the 718th Z car made!). I kept it until August 1999 when I traded it in on a 1999 Acura Integra Type R. By then it had 180,000 kms on it and despite my best efforts and constant attention it was falling apart. It still looked excellent but the engine was hurting bad. One guy who looked at buying it took it to my mechanic and it turned out to have poor compression and one cylinder's valves were pretty much shot. I wish it the motor didn't age so poorly as I might have kept it and restored it otherwise. I may buy another or a 944 for full restoration and upgrade and would like to take to others who put high miles on the 924 turbos or 944s. |

| grand prix white, with black leather
interior. The car came with an extra engine. I drove the car infrequently for almost
a year before I started having CIS problems. I replaced fuel pumps, cleaned
injectors, all to no avail. Number 4 cylinder now carbon fouls the plug after 10
minutes. The compression ratio is 100 psi for #4 and 120 psi for the remaining
cylinders. These are tired CR’s.
I am in the process of completely rebuilding the motor. I ported the head and intake manifold, acquired a Weber big throat throttle body, will install Raceware studs, GTR head gasket and gapless Perfect Circle moly ring set, using 7.5:1 stock pistons and bottom end. The stock exhaust manifold is going to be ported and a hybrid turbo is being built at Majestic Turbo (based on a Garrett T3). I will install a 951 intercooler with 2.5" aluminum plumbing and 1 bar wastegate spring. I also will upgrade the oil cooler using one from an early Mazda RX7, these are very nice. A cam shop is grinding a high performance cam based on flow data measurements from my cylinder head and intake manifold. The final step is to install an Electromotive TEC2, DIS system with high flow Bosch EFI injectors. The cylinder head is being adapted for these injectors. Goodbye cold start injector, fuel pressure regulator and auxiliary air valve. No longer will I be plagued with well intentioned CIS remedies dreamt up in Weisbauden. The engine should produce 250 h.p. |

| My car is registered as a 1980 Model but I have had great difficulty when ordering parts for that year. If I order interior parts for a 1980 they are not correct but the parts for a 1979 are correct. Most of the running gear appears to be 1979 as the vehicle has the disc/drum brake system, alloy wheels which are 15" four bolt. The vehicle has the 016Z transmission and a dash in miles per hour stopping at 85 MPH and the 55 is highlighted. It is also equipped with P/W, P/Mirrors (heated), rear spoiler, air conditioning (Nippon Denso) and looks exactly like the picture of the 924 Turbo in the Haynes Manual being silver on top and charcoal below. It has 85,000 miles on the clock. At the present time I am trying to ascertain the correct year of manufacture for the car in order to have it registered properly as everything I have found so far points to 1979. If anyone has any ideas as to the year of my car please contact me by E-mail. | ||

Gearbox: manual z16 Current mileage: 83000 miles Wheels: 15" turbo cross spokes
I have owned this car for just over 2 years and am
the 7th owner.The mileage is genuine and I have a full service history. 2 new wings
(fenders) Respray New rubber seals throughout Turbo rebuild (I think this uses the
series 2 mechanics, as it responds much better and the car has increased hp)
Cylinder head overhaul (local engineer polished inlet/outlets manifolds increased
hp) New gaskets for exhaust, turbo etc Since the turbo rebuild and cylinder head overhaul I have noticed and increase in hp and I estimate it to have 190hp. When I put the car back on the road for the winter seaon (October sometime) I will have the car set up correctly on a rolling road and have the hp checked out. However I am currently looking for an intercooler (similar to the 924 Carrera GT) and a set of 16" fuchs alloys. |

| Picked up an 80' 924 Turbo US spec from a guy I knew in Germany. Needs some work, mostly minor piddly stuff, but I have a real bad problem with condensation building up in the cab. Once I get the valve job done, its more cruising time around here. Right now I'm waiting for the Porsche Club of Britian to send me their info on how to join and see what they have to offer. | ||

| This car is a M471 model with all options. I've made a few mods, mostly bolt on stuff. A cam, new turbo, drilled rotors, stainless lines, 951 intercooler. My next move is an Audi 5000S throttle body. I have the usual problems: cracked dash, wet floor, and noise. But, I LOVE THIS CAR! | ||

I have a 1980 931S which I have made extensive modifications to. It has been dynoed at 200 HP without a intercooler. The intercooler is now installed! (Wonder what it dynos now? Webmeister). Other than the motor the whole car has been restored inside and out. I also have many 924 and 931 parts for sale. I also have fabricated an improved air intake for 931's which flows 400 more cfm than the stock air box setup. So if you know anyone looking for anyone of these two mentioned above, just have them e-mail me or call me at On The Edge Performance 719-578-0911 and ask for Rory or Bill. 5-speed (Alpine white/black leather interior)16" flat dish forged alloys, M471 sport suspension,modified air intake,bored to a 2.2 liter,JE custom pistons which increased compression ratio,milled head,jet hot coated exhaust manifold(shinny silver),MSDS 6BTM (Boost timing master)ignition with Blaster 2 coil and MSDS 8.5 spark plug wires,light weight connecting rods,total seal piston rings,rebuilt turbocharger,race ware head studs,copper head gasket,ajustable boost control,performance cam,red calipers,stainless brake lines,polyuathane suspension bushings,KYB shocks,updated front valance,and finally an emaculant interior with updated 944 gauges carbon fiber accent pieces,944 turbo black leather seats and so on. |

The '80 is really pretty much stock other than simple bolt on stuff. I put Koni shocks all around and recently put eibach 210 # springs up front. I am going over Jim Pasha's articles in Excellence to come up with the correct torsion bars to use in back with the springs and shocks currently on the car. Stock factory 4 wheel discs are on it. The boost has been played with by adding an adjustable waste gate controller, and by replacing the stock 0.43 bar spring with a 1.0 bar spring from Performance Products. I am lucky in that I am the second owner of the car; not only was I able to buy it from my friend, hence I have known the car since it was new, but my friend owns his own garage and only works on porsches, MB, BMW and other high end euro cars. So it was really taken care of. Except for when he got a bad tank of gas while driving across texas and ended up burning and then dropping a valve. Good news is that he completely rebuilt the engine with ALL new parts other than the crank. About 4000 miles later he decided he liked airplanes and parked the car. That is when I bought it. :) Car currently has 56k miles on it. As I really got it as my wifes car I have not done anything else to it as far as engine or other things |
