964 Coffee Break
Discussion
A place to discuss the new found love for one of Porsche's finest....the 964.
Anything goes....driving it, fixing and repairing, modifying, cleaning, tracking, photos, videos, values, etc, etc
Just say what you want about the 964, good, bad or ugly! Just don't get the thread locked
As far as pics go, here's a dirty, old one of mine to get us started:
Here's to the rising star of air cooled....the 964.

This year it's bodyshop time so god knows what I'll find when it's striped, more importantly I've been fortunate enough to own a few air-cooled, 3.2 coupe, 930 coupe, 993 C2S etc, all of which were pristine examples but this little 964 has got under my skin it's just a great car to drive. Must admit I'm OCD with my cars.
I think most of us 964 owners have come to terms that there are body rust issues now that they're getting older. So many people willing to spend big bucks on paint and restoration is a sure sign of how popular these cars are. I hope you're going to keep it white. Just finishing off my winter projects so that it's ready for another year. Nothing as back-breaking as last year when I tackled the interior strip out. This year's list was:
Fit new wing/scuttle seals
Remedy the squealing CCU fan
Brake fluid change and clutch slave bleed
A new set of Toyo R888s for the track wheels
and since the original exhaust tail pipe is now rusty and untidy, I've treated it to a shiny Dansk one

That's sweet! A nice finishing touch - actually prefer that to the oval.
Have similar little job to do - can I ask part number / where from?
Got it from Type911, here you go:Have similar little job to do - can I ask part number / where from?

It's a tenner more than the slash cut version but I liked the look of the rolled lip better on this one.

Boxey so you on the july spa run then....great news
Yes David. The Spa and Zandvoort double header started off with a handful of us being interested. Currently there are 14 x 964s (including RSs and cups) booked plus a number of other Porsches in our group. Should be a good one!Boxey so you on the july spa run then....great news

Certainly was, a big end bearing had failed - for no good reason anyone can suggest as it's a low mileage car. Its currently with Russell Lewis enjoying a rebuild.
SS7
Expensive indeed but as one of many that's had a full rebuild on theirs, I can say that a re-freshed engine is a joy to use on these cars. SS7

Sounds good - have any of them actually been in touch with the owner/seller? He tells me he's just a had a few timewasters and I'm not sure if any of them viewed & drove the car.
Only heard from them yesterday (asking me what I knew about it), so don't think they have been in contact yet. If it doesn't sell by March, it might be a good idea for him to show it off on the RS day. Gassing Station | Porsche Classics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
