Simonk Posted 6February, 2015 Report Share Posted 6February, 2015 I can imagine the sweaty palms and the heart racing that first time you released the clutch. Car looks amazing! Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JV911 Posted 8February, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 8February, 2015 yep! Went up to Palm Beach on Sunday - nice drive but too much traffic esp once past Mona Vale. Will have to get out much earlier next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poli84 Posted 10February, 2015 Report Share Posted 10February, 2015 Unbelievable JV, congratulations. Looks spectacular, even the wheels which I have not been too sure about from the beginning. Incredible colour, build spec, quality and execution. Can only imagine the joy of driving and owning such a car. Excellent to see such a comprehensive 964 build!

SteveT Posted 14February, 2015 Report Share Posted 14February, 2015 Great looking car. What do you think of the 4 wheel drive in the 964? I've been told to avoid them but was looking for some actual 964 C4 owners opinions please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tit Posted 14February, 2015 Report Share Posted 14February, 2015 That's baloney. I've driven a few and they are nice. When was the last time you read of a 4wd failure? I havent read on any forums of a contemporary one in the last two years. Great looking car. What do you think of the 4 wheel drive in the 964?

JV911 Posted 15February, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 15February, 2015 Great looking car. What do you think of the 4 wheel drive in the 964? I've been told to avoid them but was looking for some actual 964 C4 owners opinions please. Good comparison here http://www.performance2and4.co.uk/964di_1_n.htm Having driven it it's hard to even tell it's 4WD. There is a weight penalty over the C2 but I reckon it is a more usable car and it'll come into its own in the wet. The 959-derived system was designed to be "the safest porsche ever" so standard there is a little understeer but without the widow maker lift off oversteer. The former can be cured simply by using a C2 rear sway bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JV911 Posted 26March, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 26March, 2015 Just dropped the car at AH to have its 1st service and a few things tinkered with. While I was there Sergio informed me that Speedhunters want to do a feature article Had a good poke around the garage in particular the amazing blue RSR and white/green GT3, the latter should be finished next week. What a line up! poli84 and Gman993 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
