Default I searched, no service manuals?

I like to work on my cars, & usually purchase a Bentley manual for them. I noticed the 993 is the ONLY model they don't cover, & Hayes also is MIA on the 993.

Are we stuck with the factory repair manuals? I know they usually are very basic, & assume you know a lot already.

Honestly, Rennlist plus P-car.com will get you thru 99% of all DIY maint for the 993. One 'minor' foot-note to the excellent oil change info on p-car.com: you do not need to disconnect the oil return line to change the small oil filter.

Thanks guys, I was on Amazon.com & had about $400 worth of books that I liked on the P-car. I almost just got the 964 manual, I know they are kind of similar.

So, I'll definitely get this one, any other one that is a "must have"?
