Robmaster · 10-06-2010, 07:32 AM

hey Ludo

i live in Herzogenbuchsee (BE)

after an accident (wasnt my fault) i give my 944 to my dad, which total restore it. It's a white 944 from 1984. very unique, bc it had Servo, A/C, full leather.

i have no pic online. but it have the same rear diffusor like your 944

sour d's · 10-06-2010, 10:31 PM

Ludo I love your pics, makes me wish I got Mineral White! Bravo!

positiveions · 10-07-2010, 03:44 PM

love the color. BTW, always been a fan of 944 turbo. Great motor, and a great well balanced car. Have fun with your car

wow, looking good

redduck1 · 10-07-2010, 10:07 PM

Damn that looks good. I was really hesitant on picking mineral white over alpine white, but now I know clearly that I made the right choice to go with mineral white. Thanks for posting those pics, gave me a lot of peace of mind.

Nice ride..... How does the Harman Kardon sound?

Simon@RENNSpec · 10-16-2010, 06:06 PM

Looks good

Race_Doc11 · 10-17-2010, 06:27 PM

Just came from my local dealer they have a new ZCP mineral white ....I wasn't impressed with color at all.

EHDEN · 10-17-2010, 07:24 PM

sick! love the mineral white w/ the comp pckg!

Hedoniste · 11-13-2010, 04:02 AM

Thanks for all your comments !

@ astroguy: I used a Canon 40D + 17-85is (not the best lens...). Yes I used a tripod + long exposures (15"-20").

@ spyderco10: It's my freaky face

. astroguy was right !

@ jbm3: lol! Did you already get your new E93 ?

@ Robmaster: It's a Rothman's diffusor (factory option). It certainly adds a very good look to the car !

@ nips: H/K sound is good if you use a iPod and very good if you put a Compact Disk. I have no complaint concerning H/K but I never had the opportunity to compare it to the Individual Premium Sound...

Hi !

Just put Akra (slip-on system) with carbon tail pipes on my M. I like it. It's amazing how those Akrapovic are made and the weight compared to the stock system is just unbelievable ! Regarding sound it's hard to explain and videos don't do justice but it's significantly louder and the car sounds clearly closer than a V8 than the stock version.

I attached 2 iPhone pics .

And1M3 · 02-03-2013, 01:54 PM

Nice Akra exhaust OP. Are you going to add a diffuser later?

Powerbeast · 02-03-2013, 01:59 PM

Akra looks good man

Hedoniste · 02-03-2013, 02:42 PM

@ And1M3: Maybe a Vorsteiner

@ Powerbeast: Oh yes

Here are 3 videos (sorry for the poor quality):

First start:

Quiet start (under 4K rpm)

Hard acceleration until 40mph and full throttle until 6K rpm

(I have M Performance Pads too...

)

n4rcotic · 02-03-2013, 02:47 PM

Nice car

Matei · 02-05-2013, 06:24 PM

Congrats on your new car.
My father owns an 928 S4 with a 928 GTS engine conversion.
He is really passionate about this car and he is working in his spare time to her mods and restoration.

Enjoy your new car in good health!
Here is a pic with my dad's 928:

Great looking car. Are European versions trunk-debadged by default?
