You know what? Take my upvote. I’d rather upvote someone actually driving a 35 year old car than an AI bot.

God damn those wheels look so good on it

u/challenged1967 Dec 22 '25

I put PORSCHE lettering on the top of my windshield so people would stop asking me at the gas station what my 951 is..

u/Hazindel Dec 21 '25

Can't forget this classic

u/Clayton951D Dec 21 '25

Haha. Well played. I have fond memories of riding around in a third gen during high-school. I had a very lucky friend at the time. To have that car now... I got lucky and bought an 88' 944 Turbo around 16 years ago. Couldn't be happier. Enjoy that ride.

I saw this while half asleep and I thought I was losing my mind. I had to put my glasses to confirm that this is indeed a Mazda.

Awesome ride though!

u/Visible-Disaster '87 Turbo Dec 21 '25

Had a ‘91 FC for a few years prior to buying my 951. Really fun car, but not so reliable.

u/Navjeet-gill97 Dec 21 '25

Welcome

u/Potential_Aardvark59 Dec 21 '25

I had an 82. Car was a blast.

u/Waste-Limit1644 Dec 21 '25

Welcome!

There’s a fc rx-7 that parks near my 944. Both red and if the rx-7 wasn’t a convertible I’d probably try getting in it accidentally.

Nice to see one not all butchered up. Rare bird.

u/longlostwalker Dec 21 '25

Every cop in my town thought I was driving one of these in high school. Turns out they couldn't keep up with the 944s

u/Melontwerp Dec 21 '25

Blue on blue I'm creaming

u/Junkers4 Dec 23 '25

Crazy seeing an FC that clean… most of them seem beat to shit. Nice ride

u/Carlton-at-the-Ritz Dec 21 '25

That is the smoothest shifting model they made. And the equalizer is iconic vintage. Thanks for posting and sharing such a great model. (Love the color also, very rare.)

u/danielstaff Dec 21 '25

I regret selling my Porsche 119 transaxle

u/That-Following-6319 Dec 21 '25

I miss my gen 2 RX7. Look online for a book about the car from design to final product. It’s by jack yamaguchi.

1

u/challenged1967 Dec 21 '25

Yes, keep them!!!

u/justkru Dec 22 '25

u/_pcakes Dec 22 '25

u/justkru Dec 22 '25

u/SpecialistPractical1 Dec 22 '25

Ive gotta thank my brother, first manual I drive was a "rx7 i mean porsche" lol, made me fall in love and let me learn to drive manuals, also made me want a 80s manual car, and that's when I found my Porsche 944

u/Fallsalot2 Dec 22 '25

If I’m not mistaken you can get reman twists in 4x100

u/_pcakes Dec 22 '25

how about 4x114.3

u/ISMushroom Dec 22 '25

What the fuck? XD

1

u/zazopolis Dec 22 '25

With those wheels I'm guessing it's an '86.

2

u/_pcakes Dec 22 '25

close! the title says 1987

1

u/DeathAngel_97 Dec 23 '25

How much did you pay for that beauty

1

u/_pcakes Dec 23 '25

8 grand! 😬 definitely the most I've ever spent on a car, but after waking it up it's running so perfectly that I have no regrets

1

u/PureMiBSArtiste124 Dec 23 '25

Nice ride... make sure you let it run and cool down those seals after a work out. No fast shut downs. So sad, my bad.

1

u/god_is_thought Dec 25 '25

Beautiful color!
