not sure if Carnewal does different stages, but my version is looouuud. My 987 got the cat back Carnewal , sick loud when you kick up the revs, in traffic not too offensive , if you are gentle on the revs. No drone , no issues , welded separate twin pipes { one per side} , as well. I don't think , I would pass a RW test, that's why i bought the exhaust outright and stored the original .

Congrats , very nice looking car , I am sure you will have lots of fun driving . The 987's getting harder to find now , owners seem to hang on to them. The forum is a great spot to find information and help, as well as staying in touch and catch up from time to time.

Hi Mark, hope you are well. I am tempted , but saving up for a different project. Fantastic car , I think it is a steal. Good luck.👍

Are you selling your 3.4 engine? I would be interested.

I normally say , yes , I have regrets , but to few to mention. However , the one thing haunting me still after nearly 20 years , is the sale of my 73 V12 E type . Never got over it . I could buy one now , but it would not be „ my „ car. Odd thing , not to mention another lot of cortina, Capri , Healy , escort , etc. But the V12 was the one. Even I’ll miss your car chasing me on those twisties. 🤕

Are you sure?

I have the Carnewal exhaust on my 987.1, I think the sound is fantastic. We should do a drive for ‚ Dual‘ sound😃

Should have sung out , we could have got milk together😁

OMG, it has taken 24 mths to get the kackler on the road . We went through the last hurdle , R W C , and got the bug registered . Spend the last week on the passenger seat driving with my daughter and teaching her how to drive a 60 year old car in modern traffic. She is totally confident now and loving it. Spend a good amount on parts , holy smoke , I went through the figures , put my brain in denial mode. As you expect, little ongoing issues we have to get on top of . Example : break lights , horn , now you work , now you don’t!! Bad earth? . It was worth it all the way to give the little kackler a new lease on life.

I just try to keep her ready for that elusive SMT. + Niko is right on my heels for shining up his beloved. Hi Mark , I know , I catch myself on a night drive on the freeway to look at my rear mirror and watch the distorted dance of reflected lights.

Guess where I pick up my lock down coffee😅

Got some good info from Dalai today, followed the prompts online , got a call 4 pm , booked for the shot tomorrow morning. I don’t think much of vaccines , however , unless we all get the shot , we will go jo jo style in and out of lock down , no travel , and NO SMT RUNS. Get it done.😎✈️🏎

Xjc and V12 EType both sold under 20 K each . Still sobbing 20 years later. Needed cash at the time.

I grew up in Germany , Jags were very expensive and full of rust,when I came to OZ I went crazy on the jags for a while. My first love affair was with Capris , Escorts. Cheap, light and quick at the time. Finally saw the light and turned to Porsche. 😂

Where do I start? Here are just a few....missing all of them.
