It also had a twin-plugged, crank-fired 2.8 that liked to run on 112 octane race fuel, 40 Webers that ran out of air above 5Krpm and the funky '70/'71 ""pull" type 911 tranny.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I acquired it 7 years ago while working at a small, independent Porsche repair/restoration shop. As the pics below show, it looked quite different than it does now. It also had a twin-plugged, crank-fired 2.8 that liked to run on 112 octane race fuel, 40 Webers that ran out of air above 5Krpm and the funky '70/'71 ""pull" type 911 tranny.

with 2.5in plumbing, sorting out various electrical gremlins and backing dating the body to its current "period correct" appearance.
Both my CS and the RSR have approximately the same net HP. But the driving experience is quite different. The RSR is a more involved experience while the CS goes about its business with more amenities and without any vices.
******** and 6speedonline are both US sites that have large 911 followings. IMHO once you sort out the wheat from the chaff there's not a lot left, particularly for the 997 area, but that's the internet. Rennteam is an European site w/ a strong 911 following.
my new-to me 2008 CS2. Mods: Damptronics (lowered 25mm) HRE wheels with + offset. Evo airbox from the Shark Werks. Red guage faces on order from Europe.
I have owned a pristine, original 1974 Alfa Romeo Spider since new, but hardly ever drove it. In 2007 I saw a Cayman for the first time and thought it was a great car to look at and drive. So, I got a
Cayman S
in 2007. It was so much fun to drive I wanted more. I had always wanted a 911 since I was a kid, so 2 years ago I picked up a 1985 Guards Red
Carrera
. I loved the
Carrera
but the big fender flares of the Turbo Look or 930 are something special. So, this year ...
'07 Cayman S - Cobalt Blue
'85 911 Carrera - Guards Red
'88 930 - Guards Red
'74 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce - Red (18,000 Mi.)
Here's mine. I've been on a PCA tour this weekend of the Colorado high country. Saw lots of
911s
of all different vintages (and Boxters and even a 964 and a Cayman).
Davidy you get the award for the most understated post w/picture. When did you pick up your 1 of 250 Sport Classic??? How about the RS orange 997.2? Of course you realize that you are now required to post many more pictures. That's what I call a 911 collection!
