Buying a Cheap 911 = Bad Idea? Or Best Idea Ever?

Ahhh carcaine… it strikes when you least expect it. Like when you’re stuck at home during quarantine, cruising for deals, eating snacks… and a solid deal actually comes across your screen. So when Vin spotted this 1980 Porsche 930 SC, it was hard to say no. Especially with Scotto the enabler sitting right next to him. But did he buy a lemon? Or is this easy entry into the 911 club?

[@wrifraff]

[@apexmetalrestoration2805]

Porsche’s are no joke when it comes to expense. I just backdated a 68 Porsche into a “73 rs” for a client. A long nose hood alone is $1,500 bucks. Suspension pan $350. If you’re retrofitting the fenders with turn signal frames, each frame will cost you $325 a side. Turn signal housings $189.00 a side. RS fiberglass bumpers are in the several hundreds of dollars also. These are not cheap cars to build. But so cool and the driving experience feels very unique. 👍🏼

Damn Vin really! Such a nice car! Always with the banger finds this guy. It only makes sense for you with the best track record for completing projects to do a hooniporsche. You prolly already know cis since your a vw kid, but stick a vac gauge on the car to help you with the leak, or maybe the idle air screw got loose on the throttle body. This would be a rad car to tribute the mulholland racer porsche. That car was a beast!

[@vin_tra]

Ahhh thanks for the tip. I already adjusted the idle screw but the hot idle came back up. Next is to check for vac leaks. Which im sure will be a nightmare to hunt down

[@ecarasig]

@@vin_tra Hot idle...in my experience vac leaks are a cold high idle with a hot normal. check for a vac leak by the idle air control valve and or check the resistance across the idle air control valve pins. They are supposed to have a certain resistance that i don't know off hand. See if you can look it up.

[@ecarasig]

@@vin_tra One more thing...if you turn the idle screw and it is loose enough to turn by hand then replace the bushing/seal. That will be your vac leak if it is loose.
