Too "I want an air-cooled Porsche!" so I asked my husband what he would like.

911 (964) to be repaired.

The other day, my husband was in the middle of aThere's something wrong with the accelerator pedal on my air-cooled car. It's hard to get back on, and the engine revs aren't dropping properly, so I'm going to have it looked at.and the neighborhood that has always taken care of us.B-ForceHe had taken the 964C2 to Mr.

As for the 964.Tiptronic ATF replacementand so on.Preventive maintenance last fallI was doing a lot of work on the car, but I guess when a car is 30 years old, it is bound to show a lot of wear and tear. Well, I think it is natural.

However, my husband was able to get his 964 fixed at the store again and came home again with a 964.

It's totally different! I didn't know the engine was this smooth! Oh, man. It turns so nice I could cry!

I was very impressed. Thank you, B-Force, for everything.

Air-cooled touring

After that, my husband went touring to Naruto in this 964 for the first time in a long time.

Oh no, 964 is amazing.It's hard to believe that this car was made almost 30 years ago.I just drove the same road with the Note e-POWER NISMO S the other day, and it's still totally different. The driving pleasure of the Note is good, too.Stability, ground contact, and the feeling of being in control have not caught up with Porsche's performance even after 30 years.I felt that.
Well, the price is different and the concept of the cars are different, so it's hard to compare them, but I was a little shocked to see how much difference there is still.

He sighed and mumbled sincerely, beyond impressed.

I'm the one who said, "What is so good about air cooling?My husband asked, "What do you mean?

Well, if I could explain it, I wouldn't have a hard time. Maybe it's an eternal conundrum.
First of all, before we talk about air-coolingOne of the main characteristics of Porsche cars is the suspension.I'm not sure. The legs are completely different from those of cars made by other manufacturers. In fact, according to the mechanics, the materials and thickness of the parts, as well as the amount of time and effort spent on installation, are different. The rigidity of the suspension, and the feeling of the tires on the ground, is overwhelming.
You can see the tires are firmly on the ground even when the Porsche is stopped if you want.Right? That one, that one.
Even old Porsche like air-cooled Porsche has such a great ground feel. The rigidity of the body is solid, so the suspension moves smoothly and efficiently. It doesn't feel like it's being buffered by the looseness of the body. So when I drive on the highway, the front end of the car is so light that it seems to be dizzy, but for some reason, I feel a sense of stability or security.
It's not scary at all, in fact, I feel like I'm in control of it, and it's really fun. Especially with my 964, I feel that it is more agile than modern Porsches when changing lanes. Words of wisdom from the late Aritsune TokudaijiLet's say you think, 'I want to cut in there. The Porsche is there at that moment. And the next thing you know, it's already there. That's what a Porsche is.is exactly right! I'd like to say. It has such a suspension.
And...It's still the engine.Porsche's horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine is still very pleasant. It turns really smoothly and is very responsive. I thought I wouldn't be able to enjoy it much because my car is a Tiptronic, but that's not true at all.If you shift manually, you can totally enjoy it.Rather, by having only four gears, the breathtaking acceleration in wide gears is pleasant.
The sound of the engine from behind is like a motorcycle engine, with a pleasant mechanical sound and the sound of the engine exploding. Especially the air-cooled Porsche has a great feeling of gasoline burning inside the cylinders. I said to myself, 'I can't believe I'm saying that.Sense of gasoline burningWhat is a "Ride"? You may be asking yourself, "What is that? You can feel the power that is driving the car forward from the sound and the heartbeat.
The sound of this engine, the feel of the revs, and that suspension are in perfect balance.It is really pleasant to drive slowly at low speeds or to fly.Depending on my mood, I can ride it racy, sporty, or in a nostalgic, quiet, and austere manner. I really can't stop.

I'm not so sure about that. But still, he is very passionate about the Polish people....

I once saw a video of the factory where the 964 was made at the time, and it showed employees fitting parts by hand and making each car one by one in what looked like a dirty factory in a town.

It was so different from Porsche's current state-of-the-art, clean factory that utilizes robotic power.Oh, I've been working steadily like this!I was honestly surprised.

It is truly amazing that a car built in such a way still runs like a new car after 30 years, even though it needs to be repaired, and that it continues to entertain its owners and enrich the lives of so many people.

I really wish I could go to the Porsche Museum in Germany again and experience the history of Porsche... these days.
