My husband recently had the suspension of his air-cooled Porsche totally replaced, and he wrote an article about it and the changes in driving afterwards. Please take a look if you like.

911 Carrera 2 (air-cooled 964)

Porsche 911 Carrera 2 (air-cooled 964 model) has been in our house for 2 years this fall!The The mileage is about 66,000 km. The other dayover batteryThe only problem is that there was a "problem" with the system, but nothing major.

I've never been the type to be that interested in classic or old cars, but the reason I bought the 964 in the first place was becauseI want to know about air-cooled Porsche when talking about Porsche.I thought it was a good idea. I actually bought it and rode it.It is hard to believe that the car was made about 30 years ago.I was astonished that a manufacturer called Porsche was so advanced at that time.

Once you get to know the allure of an air-cooled Porsche like that.What was the condition of this new car like?This is what I am interested in. Of course, if I'm going to replace parts with new ones anyway, I suppose I could go in the direction of customizing them with external parts to pursue uniqueness.Personally, in terms of overall performance and balance, no tuner surpasses Porsche's Weissach Institute.I think.

So.Let's refresh it with all genuine parts and make it as close to a new car as possible.I thought.

Bring your 911 to the store.

That's where this 964's doctor, Dr.B-ForceThe first thing he did was to take a look at the car and identify what needed to be changed and what did not. First, he took a look at the car and identified areas that needed to be changed and areas that did not need to be changed. After taking into consideration the budget and the effects of the changes, we finally decided to replace the following parts. (Some minor parts have been omitted.)

• Front Upper Mount
• Front shocks complete set
• Front Stabilizer Bushing
• linkage
• Complete set of rear shocks
• Rear upper mount
• Rear Stabilizer Mount
• stabilizer linkage
• Tiptromount
• rubber-buffer
• Tiptro Support
• Engine mounts (left and right)
• Tie Rod End
• joint hawk

Such as.

I won't go into detailed unit prices, but it seems that the price of classic Porsche genuine parts has gone up over the years.One genuine shock costs about 100,000 yen.So, that's 400,000 for four bottles alone. This time, theThe refreshment cost about 1,250,000 yen, including labor and other expenses.The first time, the company was in a position to do so.

About two weeks after I dropped off the car, I received a call that the car was ready and went to pick it up. I was informed that the car was finished and I went to pick it up. When I asked him about it, he said, "I guess so.The shocks were very worn out, so new shocks would raise the ride height.It seems.

."Were you that screwed up?The president of BFORCE showed me a shock that he had removed by pushing it with his hand. He said, "I'm sorry, but I can't help it.Normally, they don't shrink with such light force, but these shrink easily, don't they?And.

Porsche 911 rear and front shocks

Indeed, if you touch and look at it yourself, the shocks shrink easily with just a little force. "I didn't realize it was so badly damaged. But I didn't feel that the ride was that uncomfortable or particularly unstable?When asked, "What are you doing?" the president

."That is the great thing about Porsche.A normal car would notice this immediately. However, Porsche cars are designed to run properly even in this condition. That's why many of our customers think their cars are in good shape. And they don't realize it until they replace it (laughs).

And. I see.The extravagance of cost that Porsche spends on parts and structure compared to other manufacturers is amazing.I often hear people say, "I'm not a good person," and I guess it shows in these places.

After that, the president of the company told me "it was so lowered," "this is already wobbly," "this is distorted in shape," and many other things as I held the parts in my hands, and although the mileage of the car is still in the 60,000 km range, I was able to re-evaluate the car.Well, the effects of 28 years can't be ignored.I thought.
