Tips Posted 10May, 2019 Report Share Posted 10May, 2019 After picking up my car a couple of weeks ago sent it to AH to have a couple of things sorted ie starter motor was noisy. I was in no rush so got them to also give me a list of future items to be done over the next 6-12 months. Fortunately its a short list and nothing major just suspension rubbers cv boots etc which I expected. I was very happy to pick it up and take the long way back to the office on a perfect sunny Wed morning. I had a smile on my face all day. I love this car and I know it will be a long affair. Can’t wait to get it out on a long twisty SMT in the next few weeks 😍 Raven, LeeM, hugh and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troubleshooter Posted 10May, 2019 Report Share Posted 10May, 2019 This is where it looks so good, the correct amount of black in all the right places, not like the later WC ints where they just open the door and chuck a bucket of red paint over everything. I had a 993TT Black with Boxster red int and it had the black in pretty much the exact same places as your SC. Tips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bibbs Posted 15May, 2019 Report Share Posted 15May, 2019 Original speedo clear plastic was scuffed and cracked in parts (which really showed up when wearing polarized sunnies). Pulled apart a spare cluster, and swapped the parts over. Was something that's been bugging me for a while. GTP911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwright_11 Posted 15May, 2019 Report Share Posted 15May, 2019 Dropped my car and some parts off to the painters to get a clean engine lid (no whale tail) and "period-correct" valance (i.e. without the inset Carrera driving lights) colour matched and installed.

So I'm going to remove the Turbo S wing and pop the standard Turbo wing on my car. I prefer the standard wing. It's only taken over a year to get it fitted and painted but it's finally done.

Barks Posted 2July, 2019 Report Share Posted 2July, 2019 Finally fitted my DAS Nine short shifter - a quick test drive before console reassembly to find out I had no reverse! A quick adjustment of the cable linkage (back to its original setting!) and all 6 plus reverse present. Nice direct shifting no slop.

A man after my own heart.....I also had one fitted to the BBC yesterday by PCM, good that you could fit it yourself. Mine was in for a service so got it done at the same time. Only drove it home with a bit of traffic on the freeway, but definitely "nice and tight". Looking forward to a good drive around the mountains..

Skidmarks Posted 5July, 2019 Report Share Posted 5July, 2019 Sent the Kodak Yellow 930 to Chateau Autoart as 3rd gear way crunchy and first was well, shite ... Also, the Auspuff was a bit on the nose and I wanted a factory look so Dansk here I come. Then we looked at the exhaust manifolds and thought, “hey, why not a set of custom Fabspeed headers whilst we’re having a party?”. Arrived today from the US of Donald and apparently a thing of rare beauty and refinement (unlike the El Presidente of the Twittersphere). Anyway, I said - “chuck it on the dyno as I think its a bit light in its race boots”. Bad move. I knew it was a bit off but not as bad as the “Skids, are you sitting down” call I got from Michael. No boost, more doughy than a half cooked donut. Apparently my 2.4S had more grunt. So, the diagnosis .. Wastegate diaphragm farked. Turbo? Let’s just say the shaft had more play than a 3 yo on red cordial. Possibly OK to rebuild but we may have to go K27 11/11 ... I’m hoping its OK but won’t be gutted if we have to upgrade. And with a case of “while we’re in there”, the whole shootin’ match is now coming apart for the full proctological review. Lucky I sent it in to look at the dodgy gear change eh? hugh, Tips, SteveF and 4 others 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy73 Posted 8July, 2019 Report Share Posted 8July, 2019 I bought my 964 with "nothing to spend". @Fraz had the car absolutely sorted and I couldn't have been happier. However, before long, my desire to put my own touches on it began to emerge. The number one item on the list has finally been added. Gold BBS E88's... Absolutely stoked with the result!

See heres the dilemma now, if they only pay to repair this one side (which I'm sure is the worse case scenario under insurance) the right side will look mismatched as its got wear & tear... so I am most likely going to take this opportunity to repair and repaint the entire car. I'm not sure how much out of pocket I'll be for that, but we will see what we can work out! Its booked in next month, so I'll just deal with it as it eventuates... I am tired of trying to pre-empt outcomes with this fucking car... they never end well. Rick V, hugh and GTP911 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy73 Posted 4August, 2019 Report Share Posted 4August, 2019 Well this may not sit well with the purists but made one last change last week. Always been a big fan of the RS America as well as the 964’s I’m seeing on social and Youtube from LA. So the retractable wing has made way for a Whale Tail… Niko, Philbee, Scott930 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
