First of all, I have no problem with the power of my 924 NA - it's what it is - a great handling sports car with nice power for its day - like 1 hp/ci. But it's sleeping for the winter and has around ...

Thanks nikko I've stored the 924 for the winter as you probably do in IL. I'll be sure to check the ground as recommended before removing it. Since I have around 97K miles, I might owe it a new one ...

John - Glad that the fan worked for you - I didn't want to go with a smaller fan. Some shade tree mechanic mods puts it in the housing nicely. As I said I run both fans full time by turning the AC ...

Thanks Jaco - I replaced the belt this summer and tension seems good As you and Eric suggested, I'll replace the bushings. Thanks. Peter

Thanks Eric - Looks like our cars are similar color/type. I will spend some "quality time" under the car to check the ground as you suggested. Also will have the alternator checked by autoz ...

I remembered that it's a 10in fan and I mounted it inside the shroud with some modification to the outside of the fan. Spliced wires into existing connection taking care to have polarity so it pulls ...

Looks like I need to replace or repair the alternator on my '82 924 NA after around around 198 K miles. Gave it a new battery and had to jump start it, etc. Some questions:

1) any fuses or breake ...

I replaced one of my fans with a generic fan from Amazon. I mounted it in the existing cowling. Had to set polarity so it would pull through the radiator. I have a bad thermo switch on the radiator ...

Thanks Pierro - It might be a good idea to repost yours and other comments in the "How to" section of this forum. Haynes was not helpful and I couldn't find any useful posts here on the top ...

Thanks 924-76 and others - I found the brass adjusting screw and will use it for additional adjustment. Peter

Thanks all for the posts. I really didn't want to mess with the fuel distributor - car is runni ...

Thanks, but I have no such fixture on my Fuel distributor - only the 3 slotted screws as described.

I just completed a tune-up and timing on my 1982 924NA/US. Checked for vacuum leaks, etc. and it runs great, but it only idles at around 500 rpm.

Haynes shows an idle adjustment on the fuel distri ...

I have my fans running full-time. No switch needed ===> just turn on the AC fan and they will run! PS I know its cheap and easy to replace the thermo switch, however, cracking the radiator was ...

I have a bad fan motor in one of the 2 fans on my '82 924 NA. I'm pulling the shroud/fans now and would appreciate advice from anyone who's "been there & done that".

I'm not find ...
