Default First 911 - 964 C2 Guards Red

Hi All,

Just thought I would post and say hi and let you know I have joined the 964 fraternity. I am pretty new to Rennlist as well but this seems to be pretty active for 964's

I started into the Porsche scene in a 944 S2 (also in Guards Red - must admit I am a big fan of the older cars in this colour). I decided a few mths ago that I needed to try a 911 so went with the 964....as felt it actually provided good "bang for your buck" and I like the look of the 964 shape and the 996 doesnt really appeal to me even though in the UK now they are similar prices.

So far so good with the car mechanically. Just had to sort oil cooling issue which was found to be the temp sensor (fan was cutting in intermittently) and the tyres need balancing (doing that this weekend). I am sure there will be a to-do-list but I havent finalised one yet.

I sourced the car from Roly at Eporsch and the former owner is "Kusee Pee" who has moved on to a 930 Turbo. I see he has posted here in the past.

I have added some pics...i hope they worked... none of the interior but it has nice black leather sports seats with red carpet...all in very good condition. It also has the decat with g-pipe and some RS features. It sounds GREAT!!!!

I am umming and ahhhing about any more mods (RS clutch and flywheel come to mind)...as I enjoy it as it is at the moment...but we will see.

Welcome to the world of 964 ownership. I have had mine for 14 months and it's a blast. Keep us posted on your modifications as you accomplish them.

Welcome ! Except for the wheels, looks just like mine. Plus the red carpet should add another 2 mph to the faster red paint

I'm new to the 964 myself, but as a long time Rennlister I can still say welcome.

Yes, I like those black brake ducts also.

Does anyone know which supplier those would be from?
