Centre Gravity here in the UK who set the car up sourced the dampers direct from Koni themselves.

The fronts were inserts for the original struts. Koni provide the full diagram instructions for modifying/rebuilding existing struts for installing the Sport adjustables.

Superpro bushes replaced all existing arm bushes too.

My 1994 968 stock radio just crap out! I have removed it from the dash, checked all the wires and they all electrically working great. However, the radio just didn't turn on! I hate to give up the stock radio because it is a classic piece. I now have no choice but have to make a decision to change the old one out with a modern one.

Default My 1994-968 radio

Hi Spanky
The Radio is CR1-tape deck/CD changer.
i know it is very old school, but it gives the car the vintage character. The modern radio just have too much blinks for me. I wondered are there any shop out there will repair such old radio?

Does anyone recommend installing the stick shift dampers? I found the shifter vibrates quite a bit and causing shifting becoming a guessing task at times? I found the shifter dampers on eBay suppose to fix the issue.

Did some (tiptronic) maintenance.

Replaced the worn damper plate. On this occasion, I replaced the crank shaft seal and the bearing. All in all, that was hard work, rather something for convicts as for hobbyists, I would say.

did you lubricate the inner lip for the initial start up?

merc has 'service' seals that have the lip in a different location for some jobs. they cost a little more but sometimes the wear groove doesn't polish out.

yes I did that, I bought the seal from Porsche and noticed it was labeled with Porsche. The old seal was labeled with "Victor Reinz".

But to tighten the M10 screws to 90Nm was a thrill. I was not sure if the screws would tear off, but they held.

303 makes some pretty good rubber dressing that might help the longevity of the diaphragm.
