Been spending more time reading the porker corner of pistonheads and noticed (understandably) that the majority of the posters in here are post aircooler with a smattering of 964 and 993, but rarely do you see anything about the older aircoolers.

So, come on ... all those 911 S and SC owners, those with 2.4's and 2.7's ... lets hear from you .. and perhaps we can get Our Lord and Master PetrolTed to give us a "Vintage Pork" forum of our own ... I for one wouldn't mind somewhere where its easy to dig out info on the older 911's ...

So, me first .... with a right oddball

1974 911s
Engine upgrade from 2.4 to 2.7 and extra bits to upgrade to 228bhp on the dyno

Daily driver and only car, does about 1,000km a month.

I am standing up to be counted as I own one of the older aircoolers - 1979 911 SC, 104000 miles and used as much as possible on weekends/holidays.

Also own a 1984 930 Turbo (64000 miles)and a more modern 964 Carrera 4 (56000 miles) although the 964 has just had its 18th birthday so perhaps not that modern!!

Your car seems quite a mix? Was it an impact-bumper'd car to start off with?

Now with Carrera rear arches?
