YVMT. Yarra valley motor trimmers. Lovely guy, lovely pricing as well.

Oddly enough, been for sale for ages.

Sounds like the car just needs some TLC. Shouldn't be any issues with steering or brakes in any 996. Might also be worth checking for any previous front end damage (just to rule it out!)

This is going to get snapped up quick, looks an amazing deal? Check out this 1984 Porsche 911 Carrera Manual. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/1984-porsche-911-carrera-manual/SSE-AD-16384921

I’ve only spent a day driving one but that was not my impression at all.

Doesn’t sound correct at all. Mine doesn’t feel dissimilar to any other car with both weight and effort. Seems like something is amiss there.

Im looking to buy a 996 Turbo and test drove my first one recently. Having owned a 2013 991 and a 2015 981 Boxster previously I knew how good the brakes and steering were on a modern porsche. I found a very nice example of a 996 Turbo with low klms and in pristine condition and got behind the wheel keen to have run - but was underwhelmed. This car is in storage and doesn’t get a lot of drives but the steering was very heavy - to the point I wondered if it had power steering. Then when I braked I had to really lean on the pedal to stop the thing. It was only a short run in a built up area so no time to warm it up properly. The guy selling it suggested it might need air in the tyres and maybe a wheel alignment. Also said the brakes need to warm up - and he would check the fluid. Does this sound correct for a 996 ? It was a disappointing run and I wouldn’t consider this car for a daily drive - a real beast to manage. This differs with what I have read about the 996 - a expected a real handling machine with a light touch. Appreciate any feedback on your experience.

Some would/could say perfect size! It’s a neat set up for sure- first to see will buy is my guess.

Pm incoming Hugh.

Just an oil change away mate!

Yes sir, 100% compliant, length + girth.

Have a look at the tips on that!! Very nice. Are these compliant to club day events? Are they engineered? Lovely items, top shelf.

This car was in Australia for several years in the 1980s and early 90s, in the Pat Burke Collection.

Yes, a Monty Hugh.

Think the details state it was delivered in Guards Red. Great colour though- channelling Steve McQueen.

I originally picked this up off a forum member a year or so ago. Its a 2 in, 2 out jobby, I unfortunately don't know the make/brand (Monty maybe?) I had the tips modified to be longer than they were standard. I've included some pics of it on and off the car for reference. No idea what it's worth, feel free to PM me if you are interested. Pick up from Frankston South, Melbourne or can post if someone from interstate wants it.

Not trying to be pedantic but did the 1978 SC come in that colour ( slate grey ) delivered to Australia. Doesn't bother me either way but I just can't seem to remember ever seeing one that colour when they first came out. I'd buy it if I was in the market for an SC.

Uraidla via Harrogate, Brukunga etc yesterday. We are getting some great driving weather in Adelaide lately.

No where near as nice as this one where it matters 🤣 https://richmonds.com.au/portfolio/1978-porsche-911sc-coupe-2/ But I am biased (obviously)

Signal Yellow is definitely my favourite.... aka Mango. Nice car - $$$. (Just to be clear I'm not bidding on it!)

Now there is one for you @Yeatesy- correct colour too
