Interested in this web site since I have just bought my first Porsche - it is a 1988 924 S with 38,800 miles on it. I even have the original build sheet on this car. Looking forward to learning as much as I can about this truly neat and unique vehicle ....... Plan to continue to autocross and do some track days with the car.
For a look at some photos: http://s222.photobucket.com/user/newsvx/library/1988%20Porsche%20924%20S?sort=2&page=1

G'day, welcome aboard!

Very nice looking car. '88 S is about as good as they get (unless you're a Turbo fiend like some of us

).

The odo's clock at 99,999 miles. So, while I'm not suggesting it is absolutely the case with you car, unless you have some pretty concrete proof it's only done 38,800 miles, it's quite possible it's done 138,800 miles... if the odo. is even still working... which they're usually not.

Still, nice car

The 1988 is one of the best and rarest of the bunch, congrats!

That's a nice looking one. And a very nice interior with a crack free dash.

Interesting,... Looks like the same Mass air flow sensor from a 1988 Toyota MR2

Took possession of the car today ... added a number of photos to the PhotoBucket album showing the car, "as bought". As you can see, I have a little cleaning up to do on it, but I am overall very pleased as I had more time to look at the car in much greater detail. See the additional photos here:

Also noticed (and corrected) that the throttle cable was extremely loose. Adjusted the slack out of it so the throttle response should be much improved. Got look at a tuneup, 'cause the idle is a bit rough.
