I removed the CAI to prevent water from being sucked into the engine. I just made a bracket real quick to support it and threw one of my K&N filters on it. I also fixed the hard start issue. It was the fuel pump check valve. > > ![http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b253/CJRando/DSC_0003.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/7/a/7a1c0541d70354e407c0045cb8e8a0b182db81bf.jpeg) > ![http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b253/CJRando/DSC_0004.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/b/2/b295c4ff3e7e65b9f37bd656cb45de4ba805717d.jpeg) > > I like the oval dashes much better than the square dash. I really want to keep this car true to its original appearance. I traded the M3 and $500 cash for it. The problem ended up being piston rings. I wasn’t about to put another dime into it, plus my wife was on my back about using her car all the time. :tbu:tbu Oh and add a little coolant to that reservoir. Keep it up to about the middle of the second set of internal baffles(from the front) Oh and when you go to change the oil on it, shoot me a message before you do and I’ll give you some pointers in how to minimize the mess the job makes. This car has one of Porsches most retarded designs…an upside down oil filter located in a tight spot, and on cars with PS it’s right above the belt/pump :Idiots --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/just-picked-up-a-porsche-944/260543)._
