markharnden Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 just bought a fantastic looking 944 and looking for two bits of advice. 1) can anyone recommend somewhere to service the car in the chester area. 2) there seem to be alot of chipping or similar products on ebay ranging from £3-£200 to improve performance. i'm interested as its onlythe 2.5 version. Is it worth it and if so what should i go for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barn11 Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 hello there welcome to wonderfull world of the 944, i've got a 85(squair dash) 2.5 lux in black which i love to bits! I get all my servicing dun in a place near henley on thames prob a little to far for you! Have a look in 911 and porsche world magazine for garages! As for chippin not sure but it's sumting I've thought about also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activa Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Can't see that a chip is gonna make hardly any difference to an N/A version.With the turbo's it'll give 30-40bhp but then it's much easier to get power from them than the N/A cars.I personally would spend the money on something else 'cos at £2-300 it sound like a lot of money for minimal gains.

RichTT Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Having had a 944 and a 944 turbo-not much you can gain hp wise for the non turbo- A Good tip though is to fit a throttle response cam-makes a BIG difference, only about £20 I think and v.easy to fit-you can find them in any of the advertisers in 911&Porsche World.No extra HP, but car feels faster as it accelerates quicker. Also a decent exhaust system - but a lot of money for not much gain. Basically not a lot you can do to increase Hp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncs Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 i live near chester and get my 944 done at RG Lewis in Harthill. that's near Tattenhall. a google search will turn up their contact details. they seem to know their stuff - a little lackadaisical at times and you have to chase them when ordering parts, but they are the nearest specialist i've found locally. i haven't chipped, just fitted a K&N air filter and stainless exhaust. it's made a bit of performance difference.
