The only parts that are really from the 924 are the body panels, thank goodness. The 924S was one of those truly rare cases where substance > appearance.

The front suspension and about half the electronics are 924/early 44. The rear suspension is 951, the engine and transmission is 944. It uses early offset suspension and late offset wheels. The heater is early 944 and the AC (gone in mine) is late 944. Mine now has some 968 suspension, 911 wheel studs, boxster s spacers, and cayman wheels. These cars are like Legos.

It is a slow car, but still a balanced chassis. I would daily drive one.
