Nudity on recently-added link

FreedomSeven just added a link to 944time.com, which looks to be a great repair reference site. Unfortunately, it also has a picture of a semi-naked or naked woman on every page. Given that the article has nothing to do with naked women, do people think it's appropriate to link to that page? I didn't find anything in the external links section that seemed particularly appropriate. Stephen Hui 14:22, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Number of the last 944 turbos produced

Porsche produced really 250 944 turbos in the last year. 247 were given to clients, 3 were kept by Porsche.

By chance, I got the 944 turbo with the serial number 247.

internal model number 952

The internal model number 952 was used for normal 944 turbos without the S. This has had nothing to do with the steering wheeling being on the right side.

I have had both a 951 and a 952. The 951 has had 220HP, the 952 has had 250HP.

Most part numbers in the 952 still have had the 951 on it as the parts were identical.

Mitsubishi allegation

I just removed a claim that Porsche sourced a balance shaft from Mitsubishi. I suspect this is a mild vandalisation. The sentence in question:

Porsche also licensed Mitsubishi Motors' vibration-reducing balance shaft technology for use in the 944's engine, at a cost of $8 per engine produced.[citation needed]

This claim seems to be right. Porsche engineers told me that it is licensed from there several times.

I agree with this allegation. I have heard this several times. As an aside, don't delete them because it isn't worth the extra vibration. Mass disputer 02:31, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
