Re: Best 993 forum?
I finally got to see the car over the weekend, only had about 15 min walk around and I had not received my number plates so didn't drive anything but in and out of the garage.
First impressions are pretty good but of course there's a list of jobs to go through...
- I don't know if it's necessary but I'll start with a full service, just ordered all oil/air/fuel filters, spark plugs and brake fluid. That should be me sorted for next Saturday.
- AC won't kick in so I expect to do some leak finding there.
- It smokes from the right rear wheel arch and it's a bit damp below the plastic engine cover so need to find out where it leaks, found a receipt for valve cover seals from last year but they might need doing again.
- Left door cap is cracked so will go eBay hunting for a good used one, or if anyone know of a grey one please let me know.
- The ride height is a bit low for my taste, think it need to be raised it 1-2 cm if its going to be any practical as a daily driver in the summers.
- There are some tacky chrome rings glued to the instrument surrounds, these will need to come off at one stage.
- Rear tires are pretty much gone so will need to be replaced pretty soon.
- Rust bubble at lower windscreen corner, not yet sure how to deal with this, will decide over the winter.
Cracked door cap
Best efforts convincing the wife its a family car

Re: Best 993 forum?
Ops forgot to mention that the front bumper doesn't fit quite right so will need some adjustment at one point.
I'm accepting that the car isn't perfect so will only do the service, rear tires and possibly AC for this season. The rest can wait until the T is finished.

Re: Best 993 forum?
Magnus, I think it looks great. Love the wheels, look like BBS LM's. I have a set in my garage that I used on the turbo.
The smoke could be an oil leak more than likely from the rocker cover, these are notorious for leaking the covers are bolted on and the small o rings perish.
The front spoiler is quite aggressive, looks like an RS style aftermarket copy. I quite like the look of it.
Look forward to hearing how it drives.
Cheers
Tom
