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

[Peter Pumpkinhead]

Tried a trip into town with a new rear seat passenger for the first time:

OK, so you have probably read Sladey's Bank Holiday episode. But when I popped back home to grab the starter/charger I opened the garage door and found this



I know it drips a bit, but WTF ....... more to follow

I didn't do it!

Today, I took my SC to Curborough for a sprint day.





My friend Alex's 3.6 powered animal and Steve's really lovely 3.2 - it's got lots of trick bits on it.





Used, abused and put away wet - I do love that car.

Just in case I don't make it to CLM in the ModRod, I thought I should try and get some professional input as to why my red car goes through Oil like its going out of fashion. So I drove out to see a local guy who has come highly recommended as a flat-4 master. Turns out to be a really nice guy, built his first engine when he was 7 and was very thorough going through descriptions etc...Proper old school, actually more like old world...

Quick diagnosis showed that the compression on Cylinder 3 is low, the advance on the distributor is out and the right side carb is leaking....and I thought that the car went well on the drive out there






Anyway, the place is in a lovely setting with some great looking old Kafer's around... I am heading back next week to get the car on the lift and begin a proper inspection....Will go back with a decent camera, there is a '52 Kafer rebuild inside the barn !




Though I think the number plate on the Blue Cab just about sums up the state of the engine...

Nice pics Lewis, car looks great. Never been to Curborough, looks tight & narrow?

Chris, the red car looks very much at home in that setting, hope it all works out!

On the contrary, I have witnesses who place you at the scene

Pulled some bits apart tonight, still scratching head, but have an idea.

Nicked a sump plate and got an MOT

[neilbardsley]

Put my generator, with correctly tighten fan, back on. I thought that I was becoming quite good at this but ...

Unfortunately I dropped one of the bolts/screws which fasten the fan plate onto the fan housing and dispite 15 mins of hunting, with a keener eyed teenager, we couldn't find it! We even tried dropping the washer from the same position to see it's random path (which actually wasn't that random), then pasting a magnet over the floor/engine bay but still no luck. Hopefully Mrs B can locate a replacement today. Looks like it might be 5M thread with 12mm length?

However, I decided that changing the oil cooler seals is beyond my time/comfort level so I'm booked into a 912 specialiist to do the job for me. My normal mechanic was quite honest said he didn't have the kit to test a 912 oil cooler. Fingers crossed that it is really just the oil cooler seal as sometimes when you start looking ...

[haasad]

Changed the oil in anticipation of CLM.....

[911hillclimber]

Every day I add courage to take the 911 to SPA in Sept.
Never taken it abroad.

Managed to scrape some paint off my rear bumper in the car park at work grrrrrr

[KS]

Don't worry, the repairman's here!

[Bootsy]

That pot of red looks like the perfect colour match

Shall I ask for Noddy Red when I go and buy some paint tomorrow?

(PS - sorry about the damage...)
