  • Porsche 911 G-Model restore, screwdriver and tips sought

    Hello to each other, I’m new here at the Porsche Forum. So that you know a bit about me, after I’m already 20 years at the screw, I bought myself a Porsche 911 G SC Carrera BJ79 with 3.0 liter K-jetronik a few weeks ago. Normally I’m on the road in the VW Forum and have already built up a few cars. Now I got stuck with the G-model and because the technology is a bit different and I don’t know as much about it as after 20 years VW schr Auben I thought maybe there are some enthusiasts and self-screws who can help me with my project. In the appendix a few pictures, once at the purchase, then at the disassembly and now I am at the body work with the support of a good buddy. It is painted then again in the original lacquer Opal metallic. But first of all fix all corrosion damage on the car. Would any of you have the current schedules for the car? Must there also be Refurbish some things. Look forward to new contacts, greetings from m Allgäu

  • Holiday trip – 911 Suitable for children?

  • Boxster or not?

    Hello, I’ve been trying to fulfill my dream of my own Porsche for a long time, but somehow there’s always something in between (1 year Australia, condominium, etc.). In the meantime, I’ve almost written off the dream when I saw that Boxster already exists for 10-15000 euros. Most of them are Built 96 and have 100-150Tkm on it. I’ve heard now, you should rather keep your fingers off it, because the over 100Tkm are quite vulnerable, have high maintenance costs and the service incredible te Now I don’t necessarily need a service at Porsche, can also do a lot of things myself (were then rather a last hand car, resale value so good as insignificant) and I drive only about 5-8000 km with it every year. Is it worth putting something like that in the garage as a second toy for me or should I rather leave it? How are your experiences with old boxers? How do the maintenance costs book? Thanks and greetings, downundaman

  • Purchase decision

    I am currently driving a Mercedes 220 CDI and I want to get a little sports car with powerful steam, my favourites are the following cars: Chrysler Crossfire 3.2 V6 with 218 hp, Honda S2000 with 239 hp and Porsche Boxster 986 2.5l V6 with 204 hp. Which car can you recommend, which one is the most sporty and goes best, which is the most economical, which one is the most reliable, which would you recommend? Thanks already in advance!

  • Envy factor Porsche?

    Servus dear Porsche municipality, I’m currently driving a BMW 335i, which is a lot of fun for me. Unfortunately, the lack of processing quality bothers me more and more. Knaring and squeaking, loudly closing exhaust flaps, rusty wheel suspension and and and and… So when I change the vehicle in a good 12 months I want to look around and think about the new, lifted Cayman. I hope I can hope for more quality at Porsche. But: What something like this for me I am self-employed (freelancing individual fighter) and I have to listen to one or the other stupid comment because of my simple 3 Series BMW. I usually value it as envy or non-gone. I’m afraid it will get worse with a Porsche. Personally, it’s me, but I don’t want to screw up any customers either. What’s your experience on this topic?

  • 911 as “victims” of representative bowls??

    In another thread I read this: a customer of mine has nine 911 (997 4s). His wife always loved to drive the car. But that’s over for some time. He told me that his wife was increasingly pushed by the representative cars a la vw passat, opel, mercedes, bmw or a6. So I ask myself, how does this come about? Sure, by now every Papamobile is driving well over 200 and better motorized 3s and A4 are already very sporty. Nevertheless, the 911er should be able to drive through a Or does it take more courage on a curvy highway (e.g. A45 Sauerlandline) than in a three-way with a sports suspension to exploit the potential of the car? Does the 911 give you perhaps less sense of safety in a fast motorway curve? I have my 997 since September, but there was no opportunity to test it on the A45 by myself.

  • Long-term experience 996 3,4-300PS

    Hello Porsche friends, at the moment the first 996 models seem to have arrived at a low price, so I think about buying one of the first water-cooled ones! How are the experiences with the stability of the 3,4 L engines here. The most offered 996 around Bj 2000 have km stands of 140-180.000 km with the first engine. There are no AT engines of Porsche and in case of damage will be a motor revision with then required original parts in relation to the vehicle This is why I have so far been advised not to purchase such a model! But if you look at the 997 models, these similar km stands and usually cost twice as much as the Porsche Purist-smowed 996 series with the mirror eyes… Are there experience values with running times over 180,000 km here in the forum? The models I favored have Tiptronic, so the engines have been switched on a bit more gently and can not have been overturned. I had tried one of these (from 2000 with 145,000 km) and was actually positively surprised, how close he can get to the 991 in terms of comfort and agility. The price was less than 17,000,- € and was already sold the next day. (My 93er 964 he is a completely different world, but you don’t always want that!) I would be happy about your experiences and assessments… Greeting Horst

  • Prospects for Porsche

    Lt. Press release, sales of Porsche vehicles have fallen by about 20% and 50% in the USA due to the current economic situation and the prospects for the future in Germany. Will this be a problem for Porsche as in 1991, when Porsche was on the “kippe” ? (sometimes the time is over when “other” (financial) deals with Porsche will be made at Reibach!)
