James Bailey

Just bought this one....

Lookin' good Jim! Too good from here to be the next track ***** (or maybe not....) - whatcha going to do with it?

James Bailey

I am not sure yet....depends on a number of things. It has automatic braking which starts to lock up after 10 miles or so. Pulled the vacume line off the booster and no more dragging just rather hard pedal . Have not tried to smog it yet but passed 6 months ago.

Rob Edwards

Likely it doesn't have ABS so that simplifies matters some.

Ya know Jim, folks 'round here don't take kind to those actor movie star types flaunting their wealth in our faces.

I'm not a 928 owner, I just play one on Rennlist.

Thats a beauty JB. Does it have a sunroof? hard to tell from the pix

If the Brake booster is the cause thats great... BUT

I would guess someone probably mixed synthetic fluid into the MC reservoir this will cause that issue as well
best to rebuild all the rubber parts as they have swollen and thus not releasing properly,
I have fixed a few cars with this problem,
new master,
new caliper seals,
and stainless flex brake hoses cured it.

also inspect/replace the proportioning valve screwed into the ABS unit if it has one,
you may find it gummed up pretty bad

James Bailey

Yes sadly it does have a sunroof. Prior owner of 6 years is a mechanic I doubt he would have mixed up the fluids or used the expensive stuff.

Nice car, Jim.

It will be interesting to hear your impressions, comparing to the brown car, if you decide to track it.

Mrmerlin

with a set of Porken chips you will have close to 300 HP

James Bailey

I am not sure I would know how to drive with 40% more horsepower.....

Right foot down = faster...


Check pushrod from pedal for too long.

Jim thats a nice car. Good work.

I chased your very brown 40% less power car up a mountain once in Shane's 86.5.... it was difficult keeping up

Nicole

Is it at least brown inside?

Congrats!
