DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

You have no idea how many times this thread has me checking ebay for a bargain 964.

A comprehensive answer, thanks! I like the look - and it's the bumper and wing mirrors that take the majority of punishment from stones, flying insects etc, hence my thinking of wrapping them. Is there a specific Porsche bright orange- maybe Signal Orange? Here's what I'd like to jazz up a little: h...

Loving the updates - could I ask where you got the bumpers and wing mirrors of the Boxster wrapped? Presuming that it's a wrap of course. Also, what colour is the wrap?

Great to see this progress!

What a nightmare for the poor previous owner, being (what looks like) stitched up by the garage that they trusted to do the engine build.

Fascinated to see how you get on with this one - I (like many others, I suspect) quite seriously considered making an offer for it. The other cat-C 964 that cropped up recently has a bent chassis, so this one seems to be a much better starting point. Interesting. Do you mean the dark metallic blue ...

I'm 6'2", 13 stone, and the most recent pair of trousers I purchased had a 32" waist. Doing some seat testing would be a good idea, I'll see what I can arrange. The yellow seats are still in production - you can buy them from FVD today. The white ones would need to be purchased as reproduc...

This is the problem:

= I've been staring at seats all day and I'm now going round in circles. It's possible that the 9 rib seats are "RS" and the 5 rib seats are "Speedster". Neither of them are a match for the currently available SPG: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads16/DSCN33281259169991.jpg B...

But had the design changed to this one by the time of the final 993/first 996?

This is the one I was looking at: https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/797/40291749215_b46d9ced4e_b.jpg And the link to it: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/recaro-profi-g-bucket-seat/152965354593?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649 It's in what I'd characterise as "poor" con...

I have ordered one of those, I need to adjust my eyeline by approx 30mm though so that on its own, whilst helpful, won’t achieve what I am after. The trimmer is modifying the existing seat cushion, but Porsche only reduced that by 10mm in the “XSU- tall driver” option. Maybe the trimmer can get 20mm...

That’s certainly the easier answer- and I could get the ABE version which allows full use of a three point belt.

However, I quite like the ribbed shell of the Profi- however I won’t use it if it couldn’t have been ordered at the time.

Morning everyone, I have a question- it’s not really technical so please forgive me if it is in the wrong place. I have a very early 996- from mid 1998. I am somewhat taller than average and I have fitted the Porsche/Momo wheel in order to get the reach I am comfortable with. This has had the knock ...

Bit of an odd one, but: your project inspired the paint for my latest bike:



Very much enjoyed following your restoration - looks great.
