    I don't think anyone is disputing that 944 parts are not the cheapest. But to say it would cost ~$2000 for a clutch & tbelt job; along with the general assumption that 944 parts are off the wall expensive, is being disputed.

    P71 OK. If you insist. I didn't do any e-thuggery and I didn't call you out. If anything I see both sides of it and I think you're trying to hard to not be proven wrong. I think perhaps you are too sensitive?

    ???

    Not quite sure what you think you've just demonstrated. But it wasn't much.

    And you say P71's trying to hard.

    What I accomplished was responding to P71 and your request for prices from a well known vendor that supports these cars. Exactly what you asked for. No ethuggery or whatever else you might want to imagine.

    I was placing an order this morning anyway while getting the car ready for a track event so it wasn't any extra effort on my part.

    If Rock Auto is who you like to deal with, go ahead. Good for you. Other RX7 or Porsche enthusiasts are probably shopping other companies that cater to the car in question and potentially offer better deals on some parts.

    944s are great cars. I have been racing one for 7 years now and found them to be very strong solid track cars. I also have 944 Turbo that will run very strong. Parts are more expensive than domestics or japanese cars, but it is still a Porsche. However if you do not have time or money to maintain it right it will bite you. Treat it right and it will give you many years of great handling.

    Original post was written from experience of owning and maintaining. $2500 for a clutch a few monhs after ownership. 10k car to start with. That was the warning shot and the point at which this car should have been disposed of. About 10k into it two years into ownership. Sold for 6k beause of fear of what was going to break next. These were shop prices, not driveway repair cost. Took almost a year to find a soul brave enough to take it at hat price even though it was good to go.
