Originally delivered in Germany, I am the second owner in Spain, having maintained it for 8 years. The previous owner executed major work on the chassis to eliminate oxidation and also on the engine, substituting standard studs with reinforced ones from the 993 generation, along with replacing bearings, piston pins, tuning the distribution, and changing the clutch disc.
During my ownership the following jobs and repairs where performed by porsche dealer and a specialized classic porsche workshop:
- chassis: shock absorbers (bisltein sport), arms, cups, suspension bearings as well as full suspension silent-blocks, all replaced. Updated with the turbo tie-rod for more precise handling.
- engine; new injectors, chain distribution tensioners updated to the 3.2 system (oil), new rotor, distributor cap and ignition coil, the warm up regulator unit was sent to Germany for refurbishment and has been perfectly tuned. Valves adjustement was completed.. Forward cooler thermostat housing and lines replaced, for a consitent temperature control.
- electrical; a brand-new alternator was installed this same year providing perfect voltage under all loads. Battery was relocated down in the trunk adjacent to the firewall to prevent frontal collision damage.
- drivetrain: brake hoses, brake pads were replaced, and calipers were reconditioned for smooth and consistent braking. Drive axle dust covers were changed due to age. New reinforced rear sway bars were added for improved handling. The four original Fuchs rims were restored, with tires that have less than 10,000 km on them.
A special sport exhaust system has been added for a less restrictive and more engaging sound experience. The car offers an awesome sound and driving dynamic!
It includes a leather-wrapped original steering wheel with body colour-matching stitching.
Oil changes have been performed punctually every two years along with other consumables (spark plugs, air filter), transmission oil, and brake fluid. The clutch cable has been lubricated as well.
The car has a clear, solid, and demonstrable history. It drives and performs just like the pure sports car it was designed to be.
