Although, I've already popped out the alternator and replaced the voltage regulator due to a low 11V output when the engine was hot. New reg fixed it right up.

If you think the regulator was fun, wait until you change the sparkplugs!

B&M SSK and Fister muffler swap will change the way your car drives and sounds for the cheap...

the deal is here and now - a fellow RL has a set of PSS9's for CHEAP - BUY THEM and you can set your own ride height!

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 remember some talk about this one before, glad it worked out and it's home now - enjoy
Hi everyone,
Thanks for all the help with picking out out my Porsche. After MUCH looking, reading, learning, deliberating, discussing, oooing, ahhhing, pausing, praying, and finally deciding, I'm now the proud owner of my first Porsche! And it has quickly become my most favorite car I've ever had. I LOVE this car! So fun to drive, and get's lots of attention (which I need to get used to!)
It's a 2001 C4 with factory aero kit, 49k miles, some decent options, and SUPER clean. The only thing missing is the new car smell. And I can buy that.
So here are some picts to share of my new ride.
Thanks again everyone! I'll be a frequent player on this board, hopefully. Mostly learning and asking at first, but hopefully able to help more folks as I learn more. Although, I've already popped out the alternator and replaced the voltage regulator due to a low 11V output when the engine was hot. New reg fixed it right up. Why is it that almost everything I own ends up having an electrical problem? Ironic that I'm an Electrical Engineer. Hmm, maybe all the machines just knowwwwww.
Beautiful car. Congratulations and welcome.
Can you really buy "new car smell?" Everything I have tried so far that is labelled to give new car smell does not do it for me.
OK - I am sorry !!
I missed your intro -
WOW - you got it!!! Way to go!!
I remember some talk about this one before, glad it worked out and it's home now - enjoy
Thanks for all the kind words, everyone! So far she's been a dream, good mix of super car and daily driver.
I'll frequent the forum, but until I get my Porsche chops up, I'll be reading more than posting.
Thanks folks!!
They cracked the badge when moving it to the aero lid, so I'm gonna replace it, putting it on centered in process.
Lowering it!! With the stock 18" wheel/tires I have now (not gonna replace those at the moment) how much drop and what kit do you recommend?
the deal is here and now - a fellow RL has a set of PSS9's for CHEAP - BUY THEM and you can set your own ride height!
he posted them on ebay, but you can ask him if your are interested in this - I would do it, but bought a differant set up about 1/2 as good for about 1/2 the price but the install and alignment costs are the same... sort of dumb on my behalf

Oh yeah, will do. They don't let us access photobucket from work, so I'll do it one night this week and add them into my sig with a hyperlink like you did (I'm stealing ALL your ideas! ; ) In the meantime, you can see a little picture/video montage of the 67 build I did

that ends with the car driving off for the first time in 25 years (based on the reg sticker on the plate when I pulled it from a barn), with open headers no less! It's STILL not done, but the Mach1 pretty much is, except that I've put the rear window slats back on and the shaker hood and scoop is going back on soon (factory spoilers, slats, shaker, tach, highly optioned from the factory!). Here's a little pict or three to whet your appetite. Lol!!
great looking ride!!!
get it to a drivers' education event to really see how it works.
then look into a short shift kit.
enjoy it every day. it was built to drive!!!

Love the 70 Mach I.
My best friend in high school had one, 20 years ago. Was black with the same wheels (Magnum 500's maybe?). It had a 351 Cleveland too. When I was 16, that thing felt like a rocket ship. Those were the days. I think he sold it for $1800. They are going for a bit more at the Barret Jackson Auctions now...
Your 911 may take it on the twisties though...Love the the 911 too!
Thanks! Yeah, I just love cars. Period. The 911 will certainly out run anything else I have in the twisties, except maybe the bike. I haven't installed subframe connectors on either mustang, so the only thing 'twisty" about them are the frames! Lol! But in a straight line their pretty darn quick.
And yep, Magnum 500's they are! I love Magnums.
