SteveT Posted 22April, 2013 Report Share Posted 22April, 2013 I had my PPI done by Andy at RennSport Motors, phone 9336 3911, reasonably priced ($302.50) and a quite detailed report came in the post. He did email pics of the car on the hoist etc also. Andy's workshop is in North Fremantle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasserkuhl Posted 22April, 2013 Report Share Posted 22April, 2013 I strongly recommend Richard James from RJP Motorsport. Located in Welshpool Ph 08 9472 4600 or 0417 936 933. This guy is very good. I bought his car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarreraG50 Posted 22April, 2013 Report Share Posted 22April, 2013 + 1 on RJP you wont find a better straight shooter, no BS he will tell it how it is. Tell him what you want, compression, leakdown etc, He will just do mechanical, or do a complete (rust etc) your choice . cheers John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

withers Posted 24April, 2013 Report Share Posted 24April, 2013 Hey wouldn't it be good to make one giant thread with all the PPI places that everyone on PFA knows of across the country? Just an idea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben C3.o Posted 24April, 2013 Report Share Posted 24April, 2013 Hey wouldn't it be good to make one giant thread with all the PPI places that everyone on PFA knows of across the country? Just an idea... I agree Amanda. I was searching for someone in the ACT the other day but couldn't find any recommendations on PFA. It didn't matter in the end but would be helpful.

Harold996tt Posted 8December, 2013 Report Share Posted 8December, 2013 give Brendan a call down at K-Tec, Osborne Park...92278911 I second this. He does all the work for me on my 993 and has done so for years. Top workshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Posted 11December, 2013 Report Share Posted 11December, 2013 KTEC did PPI on mine - they were pretty good but promised photos never arrived despite chasing several times and report was vey limited in detail, just a bunch of tick boxes and a couple of hand written notes. Given I was in Melbourne and had "bought" it from photos on gumtree I was really looking for detailed photos in, out and under before flying over to buy? Minor gripes I guess, key thing is I felt confident talking to them that they had checked it out properly and so mission accomplished and happy to recommend.

Bades Posted 24March, 2014 Report Share Posted 24March, 2014 I just used Richard James from RJP and he was outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonoz Posted 24March, 2014 Report Share Posted 24March, 2014 I cannot recommend Richard at RJP highly enough. His expertise is air cooled cars. He looks after all my cars, air and water cooled. As always with a PPI it is important to be there if at all possible. If you want a water cooled expert then I would recommend Andy at Rennsport who worked in the authorised dealer network far later than Richard. If you want water cooled 996 and 997 Cup cars, then Brendan at K-Tec would be the main proponent of these. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
550Spyder Posted 24March, 2014 Report Share Posted 24March, 2014 this is the car if anybody has already seen it and wants to chime inhttp://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/porsche-911-1975-13628383?base=1216&vertical=Car&cr=17&page=2&eapi=2&__N=1246+1252+1247+1282+4294963765+1216&num=15&silo=Stock&Range=Year%3AMin%2C1980&sort=~Price I really like this car, I have looked at it on and off for a while. Has some good kit on it. Not one for the purist as a bit of a Frankenstein but I am really warming up to the idea of an outlaw style car. My only issues from the ad were a large rust buble in the drivers door ( photos seem to be various ages) and any issues with transport / rego over in the eastern states. There are several 76/77 cars for sale all within a grand of each other at the moment so just depends what your mate wants, this looks like it has seen plenty of barbagello action. Let us know how you get on with PPI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clutch-monkey Posted 24March, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 24March, 2014 it's begging for IROC bumpers! i never ended up doing the ppi as i already have a similar (better if i'm being honest? 3.6!) car that is 100% sorted and a full history known to me, inside and out. so while the price IS attractive for the gear it has, i can't justify spending near on 30k on a car that does the same job as my current one. of my friends who were interested, one i talked out of 911's (he's not ready ) and ferds ended up spending a bit more and getting a 3.6 powered one also.
