HH1 Posted 12May, 2017 Report Share Posted 12May, 2017 Updates ... PCGC will be bringing down a brand new 991 straight from their showroom floor. Which itinerant - no idea, but whichever, I'm sure it's gonna be great. Can't think of a better way to start the weekend. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

944 Geek Posted 12May, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 12May, 2017 Does it still have its engine in the wrong place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HH1 Posted 12May, 2017 Report Share Posted 12May, 2017 Does it still have its engine in the wrong place?I certainly think so. But its slowly evolving, its now water cooled, just wait another 30 years and I'm sure they'll relocate it to the front. Afterall the 911 is evolutionary rather than revolutionary.

brian in buddina Posted 12May, 2017 Report Share Posted 12May, 2017 there is nothing wrong with the engine location. Its the seats, they are pointed the wrong way. Great opportunity for a resto mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted 17May, 2017 Report Share Posted 17May, 2017 Can guarantee foul weather - we're heading up to Noosa for the Good Food and Wine Festival Thurs-Sunday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Carrera Posted 17May, 2017 Report Share Posted 17May, 2017 OMG! That is crazy. Surely that's not normal?No it's not normal, my MAF is over in the states at the moment getting rebuilt and it apparently was a mile out of calibration, the working limit is 40 something's and mine measured at over 100 so expecting improvements across the board. Unfortunately I won't have the part back for the weekend so it will have to be next time, I wouldn't dare bring the 911.....hope you guys have a blast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of cost is involved with a re build. You would think someone in more local could do that kind of work.Brian in Buddina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted 17May, 2017 Report Share Posted 17May, 2017 Hey Paul - doesn't the 928 have an AFM (barn-door type Air Flow Meter) as standard? With MAFs (Mass Air Flow sensor) you just buy a new one from Bosch for $300 or so and off you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will see how it looks on Friday evening before deciding to definitely go.

It's now a paper weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan C Posted 18May, 2017 Report Share Posted 18May, 2017 Weather looks a bit iffy this Saturday, however I will bring the 968 along to the next front engine get together. Didn't see it until too late last Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think someone in more local could do that kind of work.Brian in BuddinaI just knew that they were subject to falling out of calibration and the car wasn't running 100 percent so just decided to get it done. They repair them in such a way that they will then stay in spec. Probably could get it done locally but injector labs in Colorado have a good reputation. Cost will be close to $600 Aussie by the time I pay freight.They are a hot wire MAF and I have seen them second hand for around $350 US but they would probably still need to be calibrated unless you were really lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't see it until too late last Saturday.That's cool. Maybe we can all get together next Saturday maybe in meet in Hawthorne for a coffee then a drive up to Mt Tamborine or Canungra for breakfast? Some nice twisty roads out there. (No good for 911 drivers!) Hey guys, if this Saturday is a wash-out how about the following Saturday we meet up somewhere for coffee (Hawthorne garage?) then a drive to Mt Tamborine or Canungra (The Outpost cafe is legendary) for breakfast. Some nice twisty roads out there. Just the thing for cars with their engine in the right place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian in buddina Posted 19May, 2017 Report Share Posted 19May, 2017 just think in 10 or 20 years we will all be driving electric scooters to the shops to get groceries, and todays toddlers won't be interested in your car no matter which end the motors is in.

My brother had a 2.7 Carrera Targa back in the mid 80s and a 308GTS Ferrari. Two more different cars you couldn't get! I enjoyed driving them both but the 911 gave some bum clenching moments on damp roads and I was used to driving rear engined cars. My first car was a Purvis Eureka with a Toyota twin cam engine. A little 680kg rocket ship that taught me all about balancing oversteer with power! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
