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

Weather dry and some sun here today in Oxfordshire. Ideal weather to go for a drive. Apparently even better weather to clean windows. Bugger.

That was your Valentine treat

Used it twice this week!

Little event at work on Tuesday:

Then back out today for a little valentines trip to a Welsh pub

About to go up on stands tomorrow so I can pull the rack off for a rebuild and to sort the oil leak!

It comes and goes here, just need to time it right!

Bought these sporty little numbers!

Oh and sat in Kwik Fit for 2 hours. On the plus side I used the time wisely, I am over half way through Ferryman’s 74 Carrera resto thread.

Fell in love with his car at our big day out to C&M last summer and am loving the story. Made about 10 pages of notes so far for mine so far!

Finally managed to take both the 2.4 and 964 out as the immediate roads around us were salt free. Every year I say the same thing, not driving them over winter does them no good

.

Reversed the 964 out of the garage to find it had left a nice little 20mm dia puddle of oil under the centre of the engine

… then first few proper accelerations through to the red line it didn’t pull smoothly at all and felt like it had 2 big flat spots …. This cleared itself eventually once a bit of heat into it ( no idea what that’s all about )

Then time for the 2.4, it started up and was rough, running on maybe 5 cylinders and ran like that for about 6 miles until about the 5th full redline pull it cleared its guts and then was fine . Assume fowled plugs or a sticking injector .

Either way these cars don’t like being left over winter without being run. Frustrates me too . Last year had the same thing with a different oil leak on the 964.

Anyway, 964 is getting serviced next month in prep for a busy year so will have a look at the oil leak then

Taking the 964 to CLM this year?

hot66 · Post by **hot66** » Sun Feb 16, 2025 8:21 pm

Possibly , although the 2.4 is my usual choice for Clm

Started the 993 today - that was it! But it is booked in for an MOT in 3 weeks so need to sort a few things

Hi All
First drive of the year (yesterday) in the 550 ‘Rep’, Christ it was cold, ice cream levels of brain freeze…
A few missed (wrong slotted) down shifts but a smile as wide as Coniston Water!

Charged the battery in my 356 but only noticed after an hour I had it on the 12v setting. Trying again now but it's been going for hours. Hopefully, I haven't cooked it

Stunning weather so drove all 3 this afternoon. After last weekends Italian tuneup the 73 is running great again. Next tank of fuel it’s going to get a shot of injector cleaner.

964 all seems good , although not convinced the Michelin tyre have as much grip as my previous Bridgestones

Spyder, objectively a better car in all ways to the aircooled, and today was the prefect day for it . It is a great car, but emotionally the 911’s win
