It's been a long time coming but i've finally got one. Belonged to Junior Bianno on here previously and he's looked after it awfy well. It was put through a major service and MOT yesterday and only needed a track rod end to pass smile







Spec is as follows :

  • 964 C2
  • Guards Red
  • Sports Seats
  • RS Steering wheel
  • KW V1 suspension
  • 16" Cups in Gloss Black
  • G pipe exhaust
  • Custom tail pipe
It pulls strongly and feels great on the KW's without being crashy, thanks to those big sidewalls (eat that stretched tyre rubber band fan-boys).

As with all my cars, it's going to have a few tweaks. Ordered last night :

  • RS ducts for the front
  • Steve Wong ECU chip to make the most of the little tweaks.
  • wky private reg boxedin
Next up :

  • A full clean and detail to get that paint as red as possible.
  • Clean the underside of the engine and see if i can spot where the oil sweat is coming from.
  • Black headlight bezels (love that race car look).
  • Possibly a Carrera 3.0 wing
  • Twin offset grey stripes
  • Something to freshen up the rear lights
  • De-cat or cup pipe for the exhaust
  • LSD if i think it needs it will get installed when i decide to take the whole lump out and sort the oil leaks over the winter.
Can't think of anything else to even consider other than going down the RS interior and half cage route.

Wee run out with the PH Ecosse boys tomorrow to get to know the car properly. Praying for some sunshine!


As it is though, i absolutely love this thing. Couldn't believe it popped up on my doorstep when it did.

964 C2 = Happy boy indeed. biggrin

Very nice... Had a white one 7-8 years ago great machine.

Made the mistake of buying an underused one to many issues kept cropping up.

Nice ride. Same colour exterior and wheels as mine. There is a 964 trackday organised by Boxsey at Donington if you want to catch up with some fellow owners. Nice bunch of blokes as well. Plenty of other uk 964 based stuff in north and south usually on th go

I like that, a lot. Nice to see you've gone for function over form on the wheels.

When i saw the pics i said to myself "Ach it's only wheels, i'll replace them with some 17" Cup1's"

But actually seeing them in the metal, they look so much nicer. Might still go silver but i'm really liking how these feel.

Painted the bezels black today and ordered myself a panel filter too. Will open up the air box, cup style. made an offer on a de-cat pipe too.

Still keep catching a look out the window and giggling to myself. missus thinks i've gone loopy. silly
