Hello all,
Recently become a 911 owner on Xmas Eve of last year, as a nice present to myself
Wanted a 911 for a few years now, 997.1 issues put me into save mode to get a stronger 997.2. Which i'm currently enjoying ownership very much!
It's a late 2008 C2S PDK, Sports chrono, PSM, PSE, Cruise etc etc. I'd shopped around for spec for months looking for the right one to turn up. Made the sacrifice of loosing heated seats though, but so far i'm not missing them much!
I've had 3 TT's in the past, 2 V6's and a 20VT, all played with, cleaned and enjoyed. Though i don't have massive plans for the 911 as yet.
This was my last TT
Don't worry, no air ride plans for the 911!!
The day i collected the 911...
Gave the cars exterior a good clean and a coat of poor boys black nattys paste wax, Like magic to dark coloured cars! Brings up that deep black shine...
Took on a bit of maintenance recently, Had a slight brake judder and it looked as if someone had replaced the rear pads on very worn disks!c:
So i changed them out for new items and cleaned out the rear arches of years of stones, mud and crap build up!
Popped the front wheels off too, painted the disk centres as again the previous owner looked to have used a real harsh wheel cleaner! - All fresh again!
Finding it real easy to work on actually, which i didn't really expect.
Changed one of the front coolant radiator hoses too, as it looked a common suspect for leaking and had a few early signs. The rest looked in tip top shape so covered them in wax oil to protect them for a good few more years yet.
Not surprised it was leaking abit!
I changed out the drive belt too at the same time as i couldn't find a record of it being done at the 8 year interval. Removed one looked fine though.
Next up, the number plate lights were annoying me, every other light on the car is a modern LED yet they're still dull incandescent ones.
Did some digging and found VW golf ones fit (LED ones) and with some modification, the rear end was brought into the modern age!
They look a lot brighter in the last picture, but they really aren't that bad. No brighter than new beemer stuff.
Just a few more pictures from a spring drive
That's Porsche ownership up to date i think so far.
Taking her to a professional to have it detailed properly and sealed. Then its off for a drive through Europe to Monza.
