Muffler Rattle and Timing Belt Squeak

So recently there has been a rather annoying rattling sound when driving around. Mostly only after starting from 1st gear, giving power. Today I will get under there and take a look at it. May just need some adjusting.

On another note, the Timing Belt has been squeaking squealing AGAIN. This is EXTREMELY annoying. I have added a lot of belt dressing to it, but it has still squealed. However today it seems to be doing just fine. I will get down to business with this. May just need some tightening.

Seat Cover Patches Complete

Picked up my Seat Covers today and the Porsche Crest Patches look fantastic sewn on. Pictures soon!

New Clutch

Time for a new Clutch...

I ordered a new Clutch Kit with the Guide Tube for the Bearings. I also ordered a new Horn, and a Clutch Adjuster.

Now I must wait for these parts to arrive, so that I may take the car down to Springfield where Stan will let me use his lift. A few others including Tom Cooper, and Dan Hook from Omaha (and the 924.org forums) will help out!

Paint Touch Up

This took about 5 minutes. I touched this up myself.

Running Again- Large Update

Intake Hoses  have been replaced. The old ones were swelled up, causing air leaks.
Timing Belt needed to be reset, and a broken wire was traced down.
The Distributor was extremely loose and had to be tightened.

The oil also needed changed, as it was full of gas.

Thankfully she is now back up and running

Spark Plugs, Ignition Wires, Tuning

New Spark Plugs have been installed, new Ignition Wires, and next up, is some fine-tuning to the engine.

I have some re-mapping to do to the vacuum hoses. The EGR is not correct.
I am still recieving no fire-up, so I am looking past the plugs and wires for now and searching on some other related things. Hopefuly I will run accross the problem soon.

Spark Plugs, Tuning Engine

Two of the Spark Plugs have snapped, and the others just aren't doing too well. I ordered a whole new set of Ignition Wires and Bosch Spark Plugs. Apart from this, the engine needs some fine tuning. The 924 is not starting up at the moment, but obviously because of the Plug problem. Once I get them in the mail, I will set them in, and the car should hopefully fire up good. Afterwards I can mess with the Distributor and get a well sounding tune- which should in turn, help the slugging the 924 was suffering from earlier on.
