I'm always getting alongMr. TAKURO.The Porsche 911 (964 type) was finally delivered, so I would like to report on the circumstances of the delivery and the impression that I was allowed to test drive.

964 delivery

Last fall, I was in the morningWhen I was looking at Instagram, 964 MT arrived in the story of a certain shopThe information was up.

I captured the screen and immediately sent an email to TAKURO who was looking for 964.

Immediately he contacted the shop, and a few days later he actually went to see it and decided on a deal.After all, a man who is big is quick at work.

The individual is said to have been sleeping in the barn for more than a dozen years, and has traveled 20,000 kilometers.The place where this can be restored is an individual that sells everything inside and outside, including the suspension, engine, and overhaul of the mission.

About four months have passed since then, and the day of delivery has finally arrived.

Previously, Mr. TAKURO came with me to deliver my Carrera 4 GTS, so this time I decided to accompany him.

Take the Shinkansen to Hiroshima and arrive at the shop.

Then, the finest 964, which had been polished to a divine degree, was enshrined.

The body is completely fully painted and has no scratches. Moreover, the front part is even covered with a protection film.

The interior has been replaced with even fine rubber, and it is very beautiful.

I wondered if the 964 was like this when it was a new car, and I saw it in 1990 with the feeling of a time slip.

After receiving the key, I will run to Kansai by myself.Since the engine etc. have been overhauled, it also serves as a break-in with a guideline of about 3000 rpm or less.I decided to go home.

At first, TAKURO, who was nervous about the manual he was not used to, became smoother as he ran the distance. It has a very torquey feel and the freshly assembled engine feels very powerful. The strength when stepping on the accelerator around 3rd gear is fresh.

And then...Above all, the mechanical noise is quiet.It was the quietest of all the 964s I've ever experienced, when I started the engine, when I was idling and when I was driving. This is because many parts are new and the insulators are also new, so it may have a great soundproofing effect.

Trouble discovered in 964 just delivered

On the way, when I was running around the city to eat lunch,A CAT warning lights up on the instrument panel.

CAT is an exhaust temperature warning light, which was required by Japanese law at that time, and seems to be unique to Japanese specifications. So, basically, even if it lights up, it seems that it is okay if there is no abnormality in the oil temperature etc., and it seems that most of it is due to the failure of the relay or sensor.

However, turning it on and off is not very good for mental health. For the time being, I contacted the dealer, but decided to run while watching the situation.

Even if you are driving on the highway, the sense of stability is outstanding, and when accelerating, you will want to turn in 3rd or 4th speed, but you will be able to keep up with it and run on the Sanyo Expressway.

On the way, I feel vibration in the steering wheel in a certain speed range.It turned out that the wheel balance was out of order because the vibration subsided when the speed was increased or decreased.The second problem was discovered.

And when I was cruising, I suddenly noticed that the clock on the instrument panel wasn't working (sweat).

And even if I stop at SA, the movement of the needle of the oil meter is very awkward and it does not move easily. And the needle of the oil temperature gauge is also a suspicious movement. The third problem was discovered here.

And when he was running, TAKURO said that the seat was slightly misaligned back and forth. It seems that the seat shakes slightly with G in the front and back. This is the fourth problem.

And there is a fatal trouble ...

Nonetheless, there was no problem with driving and I arrived safely in Kansai.Immediately after getting off the highway, fill up the gasoline andAs we celebrated the delivery of the car, we decided to go out for sushi for dinner.

After finishing the meal, when I went out to the parking lot, there was a black stain under the trunk of 964. First, cooling water? I thought, but since it is air-cooled in the first place, there is no cooling water. Then I thought it was oil, and when I touched it and smelled it, it smelled like gasoline.Yes, gasoline is leaking.

I was impatient with this. I can't start the engine,For the time being, I opened the trunk and peeled off the carpet, and gasoline leaked into the spare tire.This made it impossible to drive, so I immediately arranged a tow truck and contacted the dealer.

For the time being, the 964 had to be sent back to the dealer as it was, and the delivery date was ruined (crying).
