What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?

[misteralz]

Been trying to tidy the garage, garden, house, everything lately. Still have a lot of the detritus from two houses in one. Popped a post up on the local Porsche forum saying that I've got some used 964 M030 springs that I'll exchange for some beer if anyone wants them, otherwise they're off to the dump.




Space cleared, someone helped with their project, stuff kept out of landfill, and I've got twelve tins of Limburg's finest pilsener. Happy days.

Replaced both outer tie rod ends (taking the opportunity to clean & grease all of the parts) ...

I drove it, done 76 miles now, on the new engine.

Cheers Andy, its great, runs well pulls well the only problems are 1; self limiting to 4000rpm and 2; the idle can't be tuned down below 1500 rpm so either new carbs or boring my old ones with new butterfly's.
Do you know any companies that re bore carbs?

Took my S to the genuinely brilliant guy that is Chris at Center Gravity to try and finally identify and eliminate the incessant ‘rusty bed spring’ squeaking from the front of the car, as well as full chassis tuning for fast A & B road driving in the Cotswolds (geometry was all out just as I thought - pulling to the left at all speeds).

Initial diagnosis was the bottom of the damper inserts were rubbing on the struts but later turned out that the A arm bushes are non-standard, too soft and worn so need replacing so another half day trip required but the drive home will hopefully be a lot more enjoyable…

I love visiting Chris - always feels like you come away with a new car

[matteo68]

Absolutely! In fact that’s exactly what he said!

Took the car out for a spin last night and it’s running like a dog. Suspect too rich I turned the idle down but it’s still popping and banging even at 50mph when dropping to 2000 revs. Definite carb tune up needed. (Its a typeIV with webers)

Have you got someone local who can tune them ? If not a mate of mine has used a mobile tuner from over pickering way , he just set up the carbs & 123 ignition on his 240Z and did a great job

Hi James, kind of. The guy I know will get it running well enough but I was planning to book it into Motorscope at Northallerton and get it on the rolling road to get it sorted proprely. Its always run a bit rich, but something has changed in May that means its worse. My thoughts are a rolling road run will have figures to back up the changes, as it also bogs slightly at 3k rpm before then taking off. Is the mobile guy AG classics? I have heard of him with good reports, I just kind of thought the rolling road tuning was going to be a better more thorough job.

yes AG Classic Car tuning. A few of the guys in the village have used him on various different cars.

perfect love a personal recommendation. I've filled out the enquiry form on his website. If this guy can get things running right without the need of a rolling road, then great

Took it for its APK. Passed with no advisories, meaning it's legal for another 25 months now.
