the car is inside the garage so these pics are only fair. If I get it out for a run, I’ll try to get better light. You get the idea though…. Overall the car is really great!






I installed a dual USB charger ( Toyota part from Amazon) in the ashtray. With a short cord it works perfectly with the Phone mount. Great for hands free calling, music, nav etc.


Older brother looking pretty good too. I had a great 4 hour run from Nova Scotia to Prince Edward Island with my ‘85 yesterday. All original with 51,000 miles.

Default Actually…. The ‘92 is the youngest of 4 brothers


I’ve had this sickness for many years now. I bought a used ‘79 Arrow Blue SC for $13,500 that I couldn’t afford when I was 23 years old. Convinced my wife I could make $5k off it…. Drove it for 6 months until winter came and it had to go. I did make the $5k too. I swore someday, I’d get another and try to recapture the pure joy that car gave me. I’m 57 now and have been chasing that buzz since I was about 40 and bought another. Same wife too….

Default Before Pic

Here is our cobalt blue 964. This is after sitting in the garage with a major oil leak for 15 plus years. I am picking her up tomorrow after a complete engine rebuild. I will post more pictures after wash and paint correction. This car has sentimental value because it belongs to my father in law and my wife first learned how to drive on this car.

New shoes and socks, I have always been a fan of the Fuchs design, some folks don't agree but that is what makes horse races. 18 inch with Michelin PS4s. Just as an aside, I can't believe how much a corner balance improves handling.

Those new wheels and your stance really work. Thanks for sharing.

I have not liked many of the modern fuchs style on 964's but these fikse's on your car really do work well. Can you share the offsets? looks agressive.

We have 6" of snow and freezing rain on the way.

They aren't Fiske, a German company called Kerscher makes the best IMHO, after checking all the available replicas. See link below, the offsets are 45 up front and 48 rear. The finish is just superb.
