Changing the Wheels on My Porsche 911 (992)! Impressions After Upgrading from 19/20-inch ...

Giving My Porsche 911 (992) a Fresh New Look It’s been just over two years since I bought my current Porsche 911 (992 model) Carrera Cabriolet. While mainly using it for everyday driving, I’ve also taken it to driving schools, run it on the circuit, and gone on grand tours. The mileage has now surpassed 13,000 km. Since I only drive about 6,000 km per year, I still feel like I haven’t truly mastered the...

Testing the Porsche 911 (992) Carrera S Cabriolet with PASM Sports Chassis

PASM Sports Suspension I’ve driven many current 992-generation Porsche 911s, but this time it’s a somewhat rare model equipped with the PASM sports suspension. The PASM sports suspension, also known as the PASM sports chassis, features a ride height lowered by about 10mm. The spring rates are increased, making it an option designed to boost performance even further. This PASM sports suspension is standard equipment on GTS models from 991.2 onward (except the Targa), as...

Thoughts on Owning Two GTS Models: Boxster (981) and 911 (991 Pre-Facelift)

Two Beloved Cars I want to keep every Porsche I own forever, but there are two in particular that I especially want to hold onto. Those are the Boxster GTS (981) and 911 Carrera 4 GTS (991 pre-facelift), both made around the same time. Both are the ‘GTS’ grade, standing for Grand Touring Sport, and both feature naturally aspirated flat-six engines from before noise and environmental regulations became as strict as they are now. The...

Summer Grand Touring 2022 with the Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964 Model) (Part 1)

Venus Line The Venus Line is one of Japan’s premier mountain winding roads located in Nagano Prefecture. With its overwhelmingly beautiful scenery, a series of gentle curves, and the most pleasant climate, it captivates car enthusiasts and driving aficionados alike. I’ve visited many times in the past and have driven it with various beloved cars. This time, I felt the urge to take my air-cooled Porsche (964 model Porsche 911) to the Venus Line, so...

Test Drive the Porsche 911 Type 996｜A Masterpiece That Deserves More Recognition!

Porsche 911 Type 996 On this blog, I have experienced and reported on quite a number of 911s, from the original 911 to the ’73 Carrera and all the way to the 992 GT3, but for some reason, there are hardly any articles about the 996 and 997. Regarding the 996, I have done only one review of a later model Carrera 4S, but that car had modified suspension and wheels, so it wasn’t a...

Genuine Ducktail Installed on Porsche 911!

The Ducktail on the Porsche 911 Recently, Porsche unveiled the limited edition 992 model 911, the 911 Sport Classic, which is still fresh in our memories. This Sport Classic is based on the Turbo body and features a ducktail spoiler, paying homage to the 1973 Carrera RS (commonly known as the ’73 Carrera’). The very first production Porsche to feature a ducktail was this ’73 Carrera, developed to generate downforce on the 911’s body, which...

My Impressions After Driving My Husband’s Porsche 911 (964C2) for the First Time in a Year

A Year Later, Behind the Wheel of the Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964) The other day, I drove my husband’s air-cooled Porsche 911 (964 model) for the first time in a whole year, and I’d like to share my impressions. My husband had urged me dozens of times before, saying things like “Why don’t you drive the 964?” “The suspension’s been refreshed, it’s way better now.” But I was reluctant to get behind the wheel. The...

Fitting a Custom Seat Cover to My Porsche 911 (964)

Complaints About the Porsche 911 (964) Recently, I replaced both front and rear tires with new ones, and the air-cooled Porsche 964 has been running perfectly, so I’ve been driving it a lot. However, there was one long-standing issue I wasn’t happy with. That was the seat shape not fitting my body. The 964 Carrera 2 comes with two types of factory seats: standard and sport seats. Mine is the standard seat. These seats are...

How to Drive a Porsche 911 (964) Tiptronic

964 Tiptronic Recently, the prices of used 964 models have been rising relentlessly. Just recently, it became a hot topic that even the 964 Tiptronic (Tip) surpassed 10 million yen, but there are now examples exceeding 17 million yen. This situation is, of course, partly due to the popularity of the 964, but another factor is the recent weak yen, which has made Japanese used cars relatively affordable from a global perspective. That said, the...
