  • This week, Jack, Ethan, Edwin and Kyle (‪@skyrocketautomotive670‬ ) dive into our abandoned Porsche 924 project car, which had been left in a field for 20 years, and was the cheapest in the country. How many parts will we need to change in order to get it running, and can we even drive the car at all?

    I must say, when Alex left, I was worried whether car throttle could survive. For some reason I felt reluctant to start watching again. However having just binged all of the GTI series and throughly enjoyed it, I don’t know what I was worried about. The chemistry between jack, Ethan and Edwin is great and you guys are more than capable of standing on your own 2 feet. Keep it up guys 👍🏼

    In a time where people bin off their 3 year old cars because of a few electrical faults, content like this is shows what a passion for vehicles is all about. Taking cars that post people would look at as junk or just too much work and breathing new life into them. Plus any of the solutions YOU guys think of might help someone else with a problem on their car. Good stuff.

    I have a 924 as a daily for the past 5 years. Am glued to this adventure you boys are on! Cant wait to see the supercharger.
    Also, replace EVERYTHING on the ignition side. They need a super strong spark to kick over reliably (especially in winter). I've tried a few and NKG leads seem decent. Also get a battery with slightly higher CCA rating than standard.
    Oh and good luck with the mystical WUR

I think its only gotten funnier without Alex tbh - your trio dynamic is great and the banter you have with the various mechanics/dyno specialist/sellers of cars are just top notch.

      I also bought a new harness from porsche.924.harness, I haven't received it yet, I'm really looking forward to it. Have you already installed yours?

    Great to see you gentlemen save the old Porsche. I think it’s beautiful and has a lot of potential. And let’s not forget about that supercharger!
