Q – My mid 70’s 914 windshield is scratched and I wonder who you would recommend for a replacement. I would rather have it repaired rather than replaced but I don’t know where to have that done either. Mark A – You are in luck. On April 24th, John R Auto Glass will be demonstrating…
Q – I am interested in finding (and using as a daily driver) a late 70’s Porsche Carrera. Where is the best place to shop for a car, which version is the most reliable, and are there any pitfalls for a carbureted 911? Thank You. Tom A – First of all, join the Porsche club…
Q – I’m getting ready to do a clutch job on my ’87 944S. Like most, I’ve been to the web and shopped there. In the interest of keeping local guys in business, I thought it would be good to get a quote from my local shops as well. I’d like advice on what would…
Q – About a month ago, the clutch pedal on my 944 went to the floor and now I can’t shift. I can shift through the gears with the engine off but when I start the car, it lurches forward. Before it went all the way to the floor, it felt kind of mushy and…
Q – On my early 911 I installed the WEVO semi solid motor and transmission mounts. Now my wife is asking me what is wrong with the car. Do you know anyone who might want to buy some good used mounts! I am going back to rubber. – Charles A – I have done this…
Q – Over the winter, I am re-bushing the rear suspension on my 944 S2. I plan to put in the Paragon Products hard compound poly graphite bushings. At D.E. I am aiming at the advanced group. Any tips that I should be aware of? I was warned that after a year or two, they…
Q – I plan to take my 2002 Carrera to drivers school. I have heard that removing the catalytic convertors will really increase the power. I have also heard that removing them will also cause the “Check engine” light to stay on. I also wonder if the car will be too loud. What is your…
Q – My 92 Carrera 4 has developed a funny noise that intensifies the faster I go. It does not seem to change in intensity in any particular gear or under load. I thought it was coming from the engine but now I am told that it is coming from the transaxle area. I had…
Q – I have a 2000 Carrera and the “check engine light” is on. When my car idles, the engine feels rough. When I rest my arm on the armrest, I can feel the engine vibrating and it wasn’t like that before. When it was scanned, the computer stored OXS sensing range codes for all…
Q – I just bought a 1986 944 and although it has low mileage, the former owner was not an enthusiast and mildly neglected it. I have attended two of the club detailing clinics and I really appreciate the demos and info from the vendors. I took one of my cars to the Motor City…
