I had forward automotive do a ppi for me. There was a a 97 for sale in Victoria. He quoted me a price for top end that was pretty remarkable compared to Johnny walkers, Redmond European, Chris German and a couple others. So I was trying to get some feedback.
Gary at forward was referred to me by a pca members in Victoria.

If the feedback was good my wife and I were gonna take a couple vacations to get the work done.

That makes sense with the low CAD dollar. Forward did a top end and clutch on my car at 142kms on it. I don't have a receipt though since the previous owner did it through his fleet of vehicles.

One thing you should be aware of is that as far as I know, no one in Victoria is set up to properly adjust the kinematic toe on the rear suspension following an engine drop on a 993. Fact is, there are not too many places in Vancouver either.... just a few more than even know what it is. I have met Gary, seems like a good guy. I've also
been to the shop and I can understand Tegs impression of chaos there.....very high paced. Victoria Porsche seems to be spending a lot more energy on classic cars than ever. There are always several 70's-90's cars in the show room, lot and shop. I don't know of their technical abilities on 993's but they may be able to set the car up post work. Cheers

Thanks Dri

Always something else to learn that I have never heard of. I will ask him about this and do some research. So I'm well informed.

Have great weekend!!!!

Yes Hans that is me....To rwasta, since you are a close neighbour, there are many participants in the annual "Dr. J's BBQ" from stateside. You should try to attend. It's held somewhere between June and August and is a gathering of Porsche nuts. Usually there is a theme, power washing the bottom of your car, pinning the tie rods, detailing, etc. have all been recent themes but usually the lift and shop is available to change oil, brake pads or anything else that can be done in an hour or two. 993's happen to be the predominent species at these events but more 997 GT cars are showing up. Hope to see ya there....

I very nearly bought a 993 through Forward Cars. They were very professional throughout the process. I have nothing bad to say about them.

Thanks. It sound like a lot of fun. I can wait to meet up and hope that it comes to pass.
On another note (and I'll post under 914) do you know of anyone well versed in the 914?
I have one sitting in the garage.

Does anyone else using the app (I have iPhone) have trouble uploading photos.

It keeps giving me an error.

thanks Mr. T


In case your not, try the Garage-Talk app and add Rennlist. Just tested it and no issues.
