After a few modern Porsches, I sold my 997 and bought this recently. Never had an air cooled Porker before and it's been a revelation. What a car. Obviously not as quick as a 997 but it feels it, and the way it drives is just addictive. Not a daily driver but I seem to use it quite a lot.
Looked at a few 964s before i decided on this one - the condition really is outstanding for a 21 year old car. It was pretty much stock when I bought it but I've obviously slightly "modified" it. Not to everyone's taste I know but I love it

Looks great. What make of wheels have you fitted and what size?
The wheels are Veloce 3.6 - 18". 9.5" wide at the back which is fairly chunky compared to the original wheels but they fit in well. I was originally going to lower it on H&R springs and the original dampers, but decided to for a new KW V1 set up so there was more control over the ride height. Was worried that the ride might be too hard, but it's perfect - firm, but not overly so. There is a very small amount of rubbing over severe bumps so I might have to do a little bit to the archesras62 said:
Looks great! If you haven't had the geo sorted yet then get it done, well worth the money
Just had the geo done by Kenny Brown in Glasgow (recommended by quite a few on this board). Awesome job - car feels transformedNot a big fan of red on porsches, but this is lovely and tastefully executed. I like the subtle additions of becker head unit and rs steering wheel. Although this is the correct steering wheel for a 993rs not a 964. The 964rs tequipment wheel at the time was similar to that of the 968 clubsport.
Thanks for the all the positive responses guys - much appreciated.
One of the next things I want to do is remove the rear wiper as 1.) I don't like the look of it and 2.) I don't really drive it in the rain.
Is it simply a matter of removing the unit and fitting a plug. I've seen some plugs on US forums but haven't seen any in the UK. Any idea where you can get them here?

Very nice looking 964 - Wheels similar to RS and 3.6 Turbo Speedlines, best 964 wheel ever IMO!
On the wiper bung. Had a look on t'internet but seems like this may be an OPC part only. There's a Milton Keynes company that do one, but 964 is the only 911 you can't use it on!.
Good Luck, all the same.
