Yes, the cardon shaft is offset by the IMS bearing, the coolant pipes are offset by the RMS issue, and the coils are offset by the coils. Well, the last one doesn't work too good, but the rest are ironclad guarantees against catastrophic failure.

This highly coveted classic collectible is the first production year water cooled 911. My low mileage exemplar barely has 90k miles, all going to church on Sundays.

A future classic for sure.

And if a guy ever bugs you about the early headlights (a one in a million chance,mind you) you can always shut them up with a '99 GT3 MK1 pic or a GT1 pic..


PS. I am glad to see that the church accepts "all people" now..

I had similar issue and it was control arm bushings, went bad around 110k. Love the comment sounds a midget in your center console trying to get out with a hammer. I have a very early 04 CS since new for 8 years now and everything that can go wrong has. Bought the extended warranty for 4k and probably got 20k worth of services. I am currently at 133k and doing good. Finally replaced the battery and did the control arms since 100k when warranty was up. Other than that just regular service, brakes and tires.

Your midget only wants to get out occasionally.
