I bought a 911 20 years ago , i owned it for 4 days and sold it . I'd already owned a few 928's , so i was spoilt by 928's with its 50/50 weight and a V8 . I still have a 928SE from back then . Its a 5 speed dog leg manual and Porsche only made 42 of them . Exceptional cars , much better than that Beetle Sport 🤣

Welcome to the CT 964 community! I can get you the workshop manuals and wiring diagrams, and if you want to drive it down to Fairfield County when you get it back I have the diagnostic tool and we can go through the car together. Don't worry -- you can do everything on this car yourself (I have one totally disassembled in my garage).
@idunlap34 Жыл бұрын
As a fellow 964 owner congrats on the car! Looks to be in great shape. 964’s are like Legos so you’ll be fine when it comes to working on it. A lot of parts can be found at Porsche Dealers or Pelican Parts and other sites. Now we just need to work on your pronunciation of Porsche 😉

I'm a very long time subscriber and I build and maintain air cooled porsches. I have my own little shop mainly working on them. The best thing you can do with that car is just make it your own and be yourself in it. You'd be surprised as I have been on how cool a lot of air cooled owners actually can be. Lowering the car and putting a 911 specific alignment in it will absolutely transform it!

Congrats on being a 964 owner! We've got a few within the family! I am pretty damn sure the arches are Sunburst, the front lip is definitely from a GT2 and the side skirts could also be made to look like a GT2. There was a few custom bits from the racing days that teams would use with their body kits, could just be some really old OEM skirts modified to fit flush! I love them and cant wait to see what route you take the car down! Edit: Also, you'll soon come to realise porsche tombstone seats are one of the comfiest seats ever created haha! Plus, as its like a VW Beetle its a dream to work on the engines!

Regarding that kit, it looks very similar to a GT2 kit that 993 came with, as if someone actually adapted it to the 964. Also, those aren't Work Meister s1's, these are SSR Professor SP1's. Very similar design but faces go over the lips, rather than inside the barrel like Meisters.
