It appears as though the power steering pulley has been worn by the crank bolt more on one side than any other. The circular hole is now oval. This is not good. Pictures inside.

I've begun investigating the failure of the cruise control unit. It hasn't worked since I bought the car. During the dashboard replacement, the servo started making noise. Since then, it's been discontinued. I took it apart last night hoping to find something obvious...

Finally got around to installing the new rubber pedal guards on the brake and clutch. Pennsylvania law states that cars must have them. One of mine was cracked and falling off. The other was fine. But I replaced them both just because they were $2 each.

I purchased the new hood insulation and with some help, had it installed. It fits rather nice, slightly too big on the passenger side. Once stuck, there's no removing it though. Hopefully, this will hinder the progression of the clear coat and paint chipping off the hood.

To my chagrin and dismay, the power steering mount on the 944 collapsed today on the way to the auto parts store. I don't have any pictures, but continue on to read about it if you'd like.

Hit the big milestone today. I've put about 1,500 miles on it since getting the car (and fixing the odometer). Let's hope for another 1,500 without incident. :cool:

I took the afternoon to do a simple swap, the DME Sensor. The sensor was roughly $20 and is an easy installation.

I've done a few small things to the car in the past few weeks. With my latest round of purchases, I got me a free limited edition Porsche mug!
