Bought my 87 930 after retiring from the USAF in 2006 at 44

My first post but, went through all 177 pages looking for and absorbing tech tips

Question, my car has excessive white smoke during cold starts in the winter, normal?

Thanks!

 

White smoke no problem. Warm up regulator supplying more fuel. A brief blue puff is oil going past value guides. No big deal. Don't run car hard until up to temperature.

 

70 years and counting.....saw my first 930 in the fall of 1982...trailing a group of 356s on highway 221 coming down the mountain fron linville falls nc. looked like a big shark on the hunt behind the 356s. i do not believe that i have ever been so taken by a motorcar! zip and they were gone! finally bought mine in 1992...78 930. as a note, my daily driver is a 585chp 71 rs look-a-like! ...update: currently installing 700 chp modified LS7 in the 930..

 

Welcome first-poster! Pay your dues...where's the picts?

+1 on the white smoke. Don't sweat it; richer mixture as well as some condensation burning off from within the exhaust. What you don't want is a haze of blue smoke that lingers like a London fog.

 

56 when I bought my 87 930 in 2005.

 

Thanks for the answers on the white smoke! That's what I thought, just wanted to be sure. Pic coming soon!

Anyone located around NW Florida?

1979 Targa was my first porsche when I was 20 years old, Had it for almost 4 years, sold it coz of the car accident
1981 930, when I was 28....still have it now
1969 911S, when I was 30....working on her now

Right now I am turning 32 this year

 

OK den, Its my third one and jus 65 this summer, but faster than ever round Sebring with a best in the 2:23s.

 

Bimmer guy here, too. I'm usually on Mfest and M5board....

Porsche has always been my dream car, though. My father had a 911 T when I was a kid and then got the '79 930 whn I was in jr high...been waiting to drive it ever since. It finally got passed down to me at 36!!!

I've had a couple cars faster, but something about driving the 930 is special. It's the 1 car I will never sell.....

 

Bought my 86 targa @ 34

and my 89 Factory Slant @ 37

Still have both and still 37

 

I bought mine last year after selling the 997. Also got my PCA club racing license last year.

I'm fitty tree.

 

Added three (3) more to the stable.... Now 7 ............ it's a sickness ! ! ! !

Gonna have to sell one sooner or later !
