rafikdous Posted 20April, 2016 Report Share Posted 20April, 2016 Congrats Mate. Now that you don't own the 912, I can say it's a "pretend" car without insulting you :). An SC is one hell of a car. Push it over 4K revs and see what I mean LeeM and ByronBayChris 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Push it over 4K revs and see what I mean I dare say you may get some reaction from that comment Raf, yet thanks all the same. It was my entry into the Porsche world for what I could afford, and the 912 has its place, yet a 70's SC was the ultimate goal eventually. I drove one recently, and know very well about the kick above 4000rpm, so being as the silver one has had some minor mods (SSI and other little bits) I look forward to driving it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgy Posted 21April, 2016 Report Share Posted 21April, 2016 Congrats on the 911 Lee... that's a gem by the looks of it! Smart buying/selling on your end. Lee shows us how to ride the Porsche wave properly. ByronBayChris and LeeM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond911 Posted 6May, 2016 Report Share Posted 6May, 2016 Looking good Lee. I know the feeling, although I have to 'hang' for 3 weeks for the 928 to arrive. LeeM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeM Posted 6May, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 6May, 2016 Looks great in that shot Lee and I really like those wheels on it too I had the choice of a few sets of wheels to go with the car, yet the more I looked at them the more I liked them, so stuck with these. Glad I did. Cheers guys. More excited than a kid at Xmas! (I kid you not!) Now HURRY UP AND GET HERE DAMN IT!

I should be in Adelaide next month so hope we can catch up and admire it over a cold one....Sounds good mate. Will try and get the troops together. Small problem. Got it home, flat battery. Ugh! Been sitting for a few months, so its probably a knackered battery. Auto sparky on his way to check it out for my peace of mind anyway. Very solid car to drive, gear selection crisp, brakes, clutch, everything works fine. Except the lack of battery power! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auto sparky on his way to check it out for my peace of mind anyway. Very solid car to drive, gear selection crisp, brakes, clutch, everything works fine.

LeeM Posted 12May, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 12May, 2016 Just done that mate. New battery recommended by the auto sparky. This has to be cleaned up methinks! Newbie question, but is it actually neccesary above the oil cooler? Looks like a dodgy installation to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiller Posted 12May, 2016 Report Share Posted 12May, 2016 well done Lee, I see you're wasting no time in getting your hands dirty. Cleaning battery acid in engine bay one minute, bare metal respray the next! In all seriousness, it looks like a very clean and well kept example. Hope to see it in the flesh at some stage.

poli84 Posted 12May, 2016 Report Share Posted 12May, 2016 Well done Lee, looks like you've got yourself a great 911. Good luck getting to know it and gradually making it your own.I'm guessing you found this one outside of the regular carsales, ebay, gumtree network?

LeeM Posted 12May, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 12May, 2016 Well done Lee, looks like you've got yourself a great 911. Good luck getting to know it and gradually making it your own.I'm guessing you found this one outside of the regular carsales, ebay, gumtree network? Cheers all. So happy right now! A mate had it in his stash of 911's, then we had a chat, as a silver 911 is my ultimate Porsche, and a deal was done after I had to sell the 912 (still going to miss that car). This one needs TLC (its a 10 foot car), yet I'm onto it already, as the weather turned to pooh today, so I don't wish to find out about snap oversteer on the first day of ownership, and have to ring Shannons tomorrow! I had planned to fit some race seats later on, but the standard ones are brilliant. Interior is better than I thought (one seat has a small tear) yet the rest of it doesnt need replacing. Theyre 17inch wheels, not 16's as I thought, and need a good scrub n polish, yet overall I'm very happy with the carBodywise it has a couple of cracks here and there, yet theyre an easy fix I'll get onto very soon. I'll need to compare mine with Stew's at some stage to see any differences, as I don't know much about them Lets hope its better weather tomorrow, then I'll be in the Adelaide hills!
