Replying to: asi12 (Sep 18, 2008 6:13 am) However, regarding "icy" roads, forget a 911 period, unless you also want to buy an extra set of rims and snow tires. The high performance tires that come standard on a 911 are NOT good in snow and ice, even with the AWD versions. |

I just purchased a 1998 Porsche 928S-4 1,200 miles away from my home. It seemed to drive home okay, but in neutral it will not rev above 3,000 rpm. After that, the engine just bogs and misses. Now, it won't hardly idle. The timing belt was changed 8,000 miles ago. Help. Thanks for any advice. stingraysusan hotmail.com

Replying to: porschebarbie (Sep 29, 2008 6:22 pm) There's no way to diagnose this from this distance. For one thing you don't have the normal OBD-II diagnostics. These are very complex cars and they need a specialist. Hopefully something simple like a tune-up or an ornery injector. If you are in the San Francisco Bay Area I can send you to 928 specialists. Not too many Porsche shops even know how to work on them. Don't let anyone touch it who doesn't absolutely know what they are doing! Are you familiar with these cars and what they cost to maintain? Considerably more than a 911, so keep a close eye on repair estimates, parts prices, etc. Don't just hand over the car. |

I am looking for a site that shows the colors offered in 1982 with no luck. Actually I am a 944 owner, they had the same options that year if I am not mistaken. The color that I would like to paint the car is either Mauritius Blue L Y5A or Metallic Light Blue L M5Z, cannot find what the color actually looks like. Can anyone help?

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Oct 06, 2008 6:43 am) Have a question regarding market values of 911sc's (1978 to '83) vs.the '87-89 911's with the bigger and better trans and clutch and bigger engine. We kinda talked about this before when I was more concerned with actual prices. Let's assume both are in excellent condition inside and out and both have, say 100,000 miles. Would a person be crazy to pay as much for a 1979 sc as a '88 or '89 911, all else being the same? You are getting a 9 year older car with a smaller engine and inferior trans and clutch, not to mention the chain tensioner and air box problems. On the other hand, could an argument be made that the sc is a different car with different handling (maybe a little quicker at the start because it's lighter) and the 9 extra years just means that it will be a classic sooner than the '87-'89's?. If there are people that prefer sc's over the rest of the 1980's then I assume that would justify similar pricing, or maybe, not. I'm just trying to get a handle on how the market place differentiates between the porsches from 1978 to 1989. I hope you or someone has an opinion about all of this. I will consider, "Just buy the newest porsche you can afford", a cop out answer. Earl
