From 944 to FiST

[TFRacer]

I would like to thank everyone here on the forum for making my decision to buy a new FiST an easy one. Finding a car that gives me the same in seat excitement of the 944 was a challenge. But unfortunately the 944 broke a timing belt and bent some valves, so since it is going to be a while while I tear the motor apart and rebuild and since the fiancee does not consider any of my motorcycles to be reliable transport, the search for a new car began. It was this forum that made me decide on the ST and for the one day I have had it so far I have not been disappointed!!!

Congrats and welcome. I'm thinking about picking up a 944 as a second car as well.

The 944 is a great car, just make sure the timing belt is in spec and don't wait to change it. My parts for a new timing belt, rollers, and water pump came in the day after I blew it up.

Welcome and how did we influence your decision?

By all the positive reviews on here and elsewhere and all the fun it seemed you guys were having, I just felt like I was missing out on something.

Welcome. Totally different driving experience, but so much fun. I've had much quicker cars, higher HPcars, but never a car as fun. Enjoy.

Welcome! I had a 944 before I got the fiesta as well. If you are on the forums I was the person who posted on converting the 944 to an electric water pump and a $17 honda accord timing belt. That conversion made me not worry about the reliability of the 944 until a week later the stock clutch went, then the transmission rack and pinion broke, and I just gave up having it as my daily. They are fun cars but not in regards to depending on them with their age and previous owners lack of maintenance

You were definitely missing out on something, welcome to the party!
