Congrats and way to keep the faith haha ! Have to say Linen Metallic looks awesome on your 964 , I'm a bit biased but only because my
964 turbo is this same color,but I've only seen pictures with it whole once as I purchased it completely disassembled and have yet to begin its reassembly ..sigh
Apparently this was a very common color in the 944 model because I've seen quite a few of those sporting this hue .. Bert
Short update! By now I've covered a little over 5000km's since January. WHAT A CAR. It's amazing, it's not about the speed, it's all about the feedback, the way it drives, the fun I have driving it.
April 2021
- New speakers front & rear, kept (Audison & Hertz), kept the original grills
- Placed a killswitch to avoid battery drain + for when it's parked somewhere outdoors
- Solid-State (Pump-Prime) DME relay
- Rennline phone mount
- Replaced the headlights (Bosch NOS)
May 2021
- New side sill sills, 1 clip is afgebroken
- Replaced the condensor of the AC system
August 2021
- installed Bilstein B6 with blue H&R springs
- front control arm bushings replaced with Chris Walrod bushings
- Sway bar bushings front replaced
- replaced the cover of the shift rod
- CV joint boot replaced
- Improved lever tension of the frunk
- Spark plugs renewed
- New fuel filter
- New clutch line
- Alignment
- New struts for the engine decklid
=> Overall, all essential technical parts that could be improved have been replaced/upgraded.
=> Side note: my Porsche specialist who did some works on the 964 complimented me on the car, it's one of the best 964 examples he had in his shop. I bought the 964 model with my heart, yet my own 964 was bought with a piece of mind. Taking your time when looking for one is rewarding.
To do:
- Install a 21mm rear sway bar (coming from the C2) + powerflex heritage bushings => awaiting delivery
Stuff I'm still thinking about:
- RS chip
- momo prototipo Mod 07 => I feel that the steering wheel should be closer to me
- Sportcat 100 cell
- Cup 1 wheels 9J (for the rear)
- installed Dansk sport cat 100 cell (AMAZING combined with the Cup pipe)
- RS chip
October 2021
- installed a deep dish steering wheel made by Tactico, a local Belgian company so wanted to support them. Combined it with a Luisi hub and slim quick release. Ordered a leather horn cap from Manuel (Mexico) and painted the stitching of the steering wheel in black to get the "all black" look. Blends in perfectly with the interior.
- bought a set of spare wheels that I'll restore (d90's)

I have the Momo steering wheel that I've been considering. I wasn't sure how it would look with my bone stock interior. I like yours but you have the sport seats which carry the look better. Your car looks great with what I assume are 8" wheels in back. I'm running 9" Cup 1's with a thin spacer. The look is not much different than yours.
Very clean, it looks like she has been loved her whole life.
Nice pics too, it's nice when these cars find talented photographers. Enjoy!
Thanks! It's funny because I just took my camera that has been lying in the basement for about 2y. I'm working with old manual lenses and a new camera but am no photographer at all, not even as a hobby, hehe. Just tried some things.
The car has been taken well care off indeed!

You're correct, they came with the 8" CUP 1's. I'll most likely source 2 9" wheels. If Tactico wasn't a Belgian company owned by a couple of great air-cooled guys I'd probably get a momo wheel as well. It feels better to drive in my opinion with the sports steering wheel. A bit more engaging due to the fact it's smaller and closer to me.
