Default Definitive reading??

Does anyone have any comments on this book ?

http://www.bentleypublishers.com/pro...P64&subject=15

I'm looking for a couple of books on the 964 as I've just purchased my first!

Jonny, a quick search will find you many, many comments on this book....all positive. Adrian's book is the bible as far as this car goes...and then some!

Adrian is also one of the most gentlemanly types I have met in the Porsche community and I owe immeasurably for helping me troubleshoot issues on my car.

You should not be without this book.

I refer to, and use as it frequently as it has helped to solve many problems and provide incite that has saved me a lot of $$ of the years.

If rennlist didn't exist, my own copy would be a LOT more thumbworn from answer searches.
As part of the overall bag of tools at hand, I haven't had to take the car to a wrench since buying, two years ago.
A worthy reference tool to add.

For the 964 owner, absolutely.

Also get the workshop manuals and a copy of PET...

Not 964 specific but an outstanding addition to your Porsche library: Excellence was Expected by Karl E. Ludvigsen and Porsche 911 Story: The Entire Development History by Paul Frere

From a place with no Porsche specialists other than the OPC, this book really helps me to understand my 964s better. Definitely get it.

If you're going to by only one book on the 964 and maybe do a little DIY, then I'd vote for this one:

That said, I have them both...
The "Enthusiast's Companion" is a great source for information on the 964.
