Ok, I'll be driving my friend's 911 this summer that's been in storage for
1.5 years. What are some things that I should do right away before I get her
on the street, fluids, etc? We started her up for the first time today
without too much trouble. ran for about 15 min before the ...

I have a 78 911SC with 70000 original miles. It has never given me a
days problem for years until yesterday. After driving 10 miles, I
started her up to go home. She started, went into the cold-start cycle
with a high idle, but when the cold-start cycle ended and she returned

I'm looking at an 86 Porsche 911 with higher miles.  Besides a little smoke
start-up, he car runs strong.  The owner did tell me he ran it in an
occasional auto-cross, should this be a cause for concern?  This brings me
to my second question,  when I go look at other Porsches, is ...

1981 SC Targa.
Occasionally (maybe once a week or so) the idle seems a little low
after a cold start.  It always starts but I find that I need to give
it a little gas to keep it going.  There is sometimes a slight knock

Is there a way to nutralize the acid effect of brake fluid?
I spilled a can on the fuse box and am afraid that after awile I will have
to rewire the box if I dont neutralize the acid effect of the fluid. cleaned
the brake fluid up the best I could BUT.

I've seen one of these for sale (I live in Hong Kong) for the
equivalent of US$28,000.  It has done 42,000km, appears in good
condition and drives well.  It has a original mauve/dark pink paint
work with matching interior which isn't too pretty, but I was told

lately my 993 has started to eat generator belts, leading to some questions:
1. when the belt is broken,of course the alternator isn't doing anything -
I'd expect some kind of idiot light to come on - there is only one light
that comes on, ABS, nothing about generator or voltage or ...

All things being equal, is the air con as effective in a soft top
(with the roof closed!) and a hard top?  I live in Hong Kong which is
usually very hot and sticky.

I am looking for a dealer that specializes in older 911's, like PAR Porsche
Specialists.  Am looking for a 911 SC in southeastern NC.  Suggestions will be
appreciated.

My wife has a 1984 Carerra.  When she bought it about 3 years ago, it
already had the AC converted to R134A.  Great, I thought, then we won't
have to hassle with it.
Well, the AC has always been anemic.  Now her mechanic (a Porsche

I've wanted a Porsche for a very long time and recently came across an
early 90s 911 Cabriolet for what seems like a decent price.  One thing
I've noticed is how many cars I'm finding with 60 - 80k miles on
them... is there some major service required at this mileage that is

I am considering the purchase of a 911 C4.  The car appears clean, and
checks out on carfax, however there are no service records.
If service has been performed at a Porsche dealership, would I be able to
get them?

I have to rebuild the compressor and clutch on my Nippondenso AC unit in my
89 911 Carrera and hate to put
R12 back in.   Anyone done the switch?  If so, how and what success?
Thanks,
