  1. hello

    new to the forums. i just bought a 1979 911sc that the guy said it was a euro high horse hight torqe model.

    how do i cafirm this info? vin#9119303066

    thanks for helping

    hello,

    that seems to be right... ...this is an euro model!

    but this car should have a 930/03 engine - 180hp, 265nm, 8.5:1compression. this is the lowest version of the sc motors.

    the 930/10 engine has 204hp, 267nm, 9.8:1compression!!!

    look at your motor number...

  2. hi,

    my 996 '02 targa comes with the std. shocks/springs.

    the car looks to be in offroad mode, if you drive it is not too soft. in fast corners the car goes over the front end...

    now i am thinking about changing only the springs to H&R, Manthey or Eibach (by using the old shocks).

    have you any experience how the car will drive with this springs on the street and on the track?

    thanks

  3. hi,

    if you need the "pure and original felling" (with a good gearbox - G50 was starting mj. '87) buy '87-'89.

    if you need more comfort (servo, abs,...), more weight buy a 964 (starting '89 with C4, 90 as 'C2)

    if you need a really oldstyle car with low weight, nice power, some lovely problems and no comfort buy anything starting '76.

    what ever your devil is, you will have a lot of fun with anything between '76 and '95 :)

  4. I am new to this site and love the garage section. I was wondering why there are no drop downs for older air cooled cars. 

    Also, I noticed in the "Old model" section there is no 964, its between the 911 and 993 (1989-1994). 

    Thanks

    hi,

    my 1987 Carrera is listed in the garage, but aged 1997 - i can write the right...

    @Loren

    you can find all the information here.

  5. hi,

    my have had some small noises first. after readjusting the roof all squeaks are gone!

    i think it is not a good idea to reassemble the roof mechanism - readjust it, use some (not to much) silicone to make the sealings slippery - that must be the deal...

    tom

    I've had an '03 996 Targa for 4-5 months. About 2 months ago, I started noticing a lot of squeaks coming from the front end of the roof when the top was closed. Those persist, but now there are also knocking sounds coming from the driver A pillar and the passenger rear pillar whenever I drive over small bumps. All these sounds go away when the roof is open (and she drives like a jem).

    My dealer said they needed to take the whole roof mechanism apart, determine if new parts were needed (possibly taking up to 2 weeks to arrive), and try to rectify the problem.

    Has anyone had similar problems? If so, what was the issue? Any simple fix ideas?
