Wadda you make of this?

[LuckyP]

Had a look at a 964 today and took a few pics. The Under tray was off so could get at the wet bits......

1) What 17" wheels are these?



2) Rear caliper - black, drilled discs



3) Front calipers red (white porsche writting looked hand painted), again drilled discs



4) a variety of wet shots....








Can anyone suggest someone for an independant inspection around the Stevenage area?

Cheers

Bro, is that oil all over the place? What happened to that other one you sent pics of - it looked cherry!

Someone didn't like the colour and decided she wanted RHD

Those wheels first came out on the 1998 996 Carrera 4.

The rear calipers look like standard pre-92 C2 twin pots. The fronts look like standard early 4 pots, but painted red. The cast in name identifies them as early calipers - the later ones had smooth calipers with "PORSCHE" decals.

The oily engine looks very typical of many, many 964s. Completely dry ones are quite rare - but they do exist.

Thanks Dave - that might explain the hand painted white Porsche in the red calipers.

Nigel, DRS - thanks for that. So later wheels.

I'll get a PPI for sure before I buy. Funny thing is I have Pete Morgan's 964 buyer's guide here in front of me!!

Wheels. Horrid possibly the worst since tele dials or cookie cutters. (my opinion)

Brakes. Drilled disks (non standard) standard rear calipers, standard front calipers Kev'd with a pot of red paint Should be black with machined alloy Porsche, easy to do yourself and return to tasteful.

Engine. Pretty standard really, find out where it is leaking from, may just be tank unions like on mine.

Ok, bare with me on this one...here is the car now:



But just imagine with black cup 1 alloys (not the fuchs shown below), Carrera side decal and decent suspension and hey presto a track day car for the misses!

I like the initial picture,

suspect I know the whereabouts of Second picture

anyway its very daring I like it

[BLKROKT]

I like where you're heading with this Pete. Welcome to the family (almost)! I think I may shed a tear.

Now, 1 down and 1 to go...

What is that colour called out of interest?

I'm not sure Rich - I suspect that guy who had it painted was trying to achieve this:



But I like the black cup ones.

Bitta fun really

[LuckyP]

Ooohh..........and the dry bit:

[smiler tyler]

i reckons it needs an engine rebuild....

[angry]

The oil leaks shouldnt be a prob,check the oil pressue and temp switches/sensor down the back/top of the engine behind the plastic intakes,they cause similar leaks....They dont look bad to me at all.
Mine was a lot worse and after doing the rocker gaskets and the above sensor/switches,it is bone dry now.
The car looks fine.
