Looks good apart from being black, high kms but engine rebuild should fix that (but need to know who did it). Not sure whether anyone would buy without a test drive, but see how he goes. Price probably OK given what has been done to it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason A Posted 15February, 2019 Report Share Posted 15February, 2019 Hi Peter you can get state of origin plates - they look better. But over the last 10 years they have jumped up in value a fair bit. Perhaps the owner took them off 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't ask final selling price. Advertised at 50k. Last time I was there walked in on a sold Cayman I was interested in.

More surface area to spread the load over. According to Wikipedia their failure rate was 1% vs. 8% for the smaller bearing in the later cars: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_Intermediate_Shaft_Bearing_issue MB911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an insurance policy - you wouldn't drive around without insurance its a known failure IMO replace it move on. Unless you prefer to check your oil every 1,000kms for glitter... the bearing starts to shed metal before it even comes apart and at that point you're already in big trouble...

Peter M Posted 19February, 2019 Report Share Posted 19February, 2019 The seller appears to be a well known 930 owning PFA'er from earlier times. Does anyone know why Porsche changed from the early dual row to the single row in the late 90's and does the early dual row use smaller balls than the later single row?

Many people blame the "accountants" cutting costs. The PCNA video that Jake Raby put together will tell you everything you need to know.

I just wanted to point out to the OP that it's smaller risk statistically speaking. Budget $3.5 - 4.5k to rectify depending on the solution you opt for. dan_189 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter M Posted 19February, 2019 Report Share Posted 19February, 2019 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't waste your time with that video, Raby doesn't know why the bearing fails and makes up a bunch of voodoo BS to try and justify his self proclaimed "expertise". I did a critique in another thread on PFA when the video first came out. However thanks for the reminder of the video as it has the three bearing types lined up side by side at 15.44. The balls look the same size but the cage would be definitely lighter on the earlier version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
