I recently ventured back into 964 ownership and picked up a Black Turbo with Grey leather.

The car suspension and bushes were fairly tired along with the brakes needing TLC.

It had recently had a top end rebuild so I was fairly confident in the engine although it seemed to be idling high and also produced a puff of white smoke on start up. The Turbo had also been replaced so I was fairly certain that expenditure was going to be on renewing worn items, mounts, rubbers, bushes and other things I wanted to change such as wheels, steering wheel and gear ****.

I have really bonded with the car so far, loving charachter of the power delivery and although suspension is tired, whilst driving I would have glimpses of what it would be once it was refreshed.

This is the car when I first picked it up looking fairly standard.



I bought a new steering wheel in black to compliment the grey leather



I thin managed to find a set of RH's which I had re finished to standard silver, I was so excited to get these on.



Looking so much better, wheels and ride height really do make the car.





Does anyone use spacers with RH?



So onto the other plans....

I dropped the car off last week to have the engine and gearbox oil changed as well as check all boost leaks, fuelling, afr's and make sure its running properly.



These will go on along with new OEM bushes and ARBs.



I am taking the Cargraphic rear box off and replacing it with the item below and a standard final exhaust.



I will use this thread to detail the project of getting this beast back to a pristine machine with a few subtle mods for handling, power and noise!

Wish me luck!

Congratulations great looking car, I have also ordered a similar steering wheel but without the coloured porsche crest.

I like what you have done to it. Enjoy it in good health.

Looks nice.
Are you doing the work yourself?
A Turbo 3.6 center section for your bumper would be a great mod.

GT TWO

Thanks both,

I have a shop that does everything for me.

Definitely would like to do the bumper, can you recommend a good replica part?

looking good lee. I added a 10mm spacer to the rears on my 930 and lowered it, made all the difference. Stance is definitely important to make them look right. Something about your rear wheels doesnt look right at the moment (could be the photos). I think spacers and maybe another 25mm lower with do the job (sorry just seen you havent fitted the suspension yet) give it that fat, low, wide look it needs.

Probably the only other changes to make are some script across the wind shield that says "Watcha gonna do" .....and change your name to Mike Lowreeeeyyyyyyyy LOL

Is that your yellow RSR next to it???

Car is looking clean
I love rejuvenation threads like this

GT TWO

Thanks mate, its a friends RSR. Lovely thing!

The PSS10s go on this week so will drop it to RS height and see if it needs a spacer then.

love the script idea, Im sure I have seen similar on a pic of a car on Rennlist already!

Thanks Loopy!

Today's update is an original 964RS lightweight rear screen for that clean look with a wiper delete!

Metal Guru

This looks pretty good at about 1/3 the price of the factory piece: http://www.cult-werk.com/en/online-s...-965-turbo-462

Some of the n/a 964 guys have bought it and spoken well of it.

Stance on this looks just about right

Stance may look right (actually I prefer it with about an inch showing between the tire top and the wheelwell) but the ride won't feel good due to very little suspension travel.
Love the RS rear glass. Thought I heard that RS glass is non-functional for the rear de-fogger.

C2 Turbo

So true

GT TWO

So RS ride height is good for a turbo?

Does anyone have measurements from level ground to centre of arch for RS height?

A bit of rake I think is always good.

Metal Guru

I like RS height from both an appearance and functional perspective.
I'd have to look the values up for you. The heights are measured from the chassis.

Back from hols today and got this pic!
