This tool and the workshop book make it easier to get the problems.

Hi, I know this is an old thread but I'm trying to get hold of this tool. Does anyone know a part number or know where I can purchase it?
Thanks

Would you be able to PM me the last 6 numbers of his vin# so I can add it to my registry, and send him any and all info on his car that I have?
Thank you,
Ben

Bonus points go to whoever can guess how many different 959's are posted below!


Ok, I lied... I may sneak some other cars in here as well...

This one is for sale if anyone is interested

There are 7, 959's in this photo (there are 2 behind the red & white cars that are hardly visible)





"Day 12, they still haven't noticed I am not a 959..."

A... different, interior style...

This one is up next for a new heart

Currently...

This was several months back. Getting ready to be rebuilt.

Bonus pic for those who scrolled all the way to the bottom... I mean, there's a 959 in the background so its kinda related, right?

Amazing that it sold for 21 K ish.
The toolkit was missing the hood standoff.

Can someone tell me what is the special about the Porsche 959? Please. . It’s a cool looking car. Is it special because so few were made or because it’s a high-performance super car or something else? (Serious question not meant to be insulting.) thank you.

Both of what you mentioned for sure but mostly because it was a technological marvel way ahead of its time. AWD system, sequential turbochargers..... Google can tell you better than I can.

Default 959 Update

In case you missed this. Interesting 959 update with good info on the preproduction build.

More 959 in the U.S. than probably any other country.

Anyone want to take guesses on whether this is real or not? Street parked in Miami, on RUF wheels... Weird bumper though, no?
