Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) Is an Absolute Must for Safety

Porsche’s Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) Most Porsches from the last decade come equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM). While it used to be an optional feature, it has gradually become standard equipment, and now every model includes it. The TPM displays tire pressure in real time while driving and alerts you if the pressure drops beyond a certain point. What’s great about Porsche’s TPM is that it tells you exactly how much air to...

Maintenance Costs for Air-Cooled Porsches: About 2.12 Million Yen Over 3 Years!

The Soaring Prices of Air-Cooled Porsches Recently, the prices of air-cooled Porsches have been climbing relentlessly. While used prices for domestic sports cars have also generally increased, the rate of increase for air-cooled Porsches is truly remarkable. Nowadays, even those in decent condition mostly come with price tags marked as ‘Negotiable’ or ‘ASK.’ Even for cars with listed prices, if they have under 100,000 km and are close to original condition, a 964 Tiptronic can...

What’s the Difference Between the Porsche 911 Cabriolet and Boxster?

Comparing the 991.1 Carrera S Cabriolet and the 981 Boxster GTS If you’ve ever considered buying a Porsche convertible, you’ve probably asked yourself this question at least once: “What’s the difference between the 911 Cabriolet and the Boxster?” I used to wonder about this a lot myself. I understand the difference between a 4-seater and a 2-seater, and I get the difference between RR and MR layouts. But how do they differ in terms of...

Touring in the Porsche 911 (992)! Cruising Okayama’s Wide-Area Farm Roads!

Heading to Okayama’s Wide-Area Farm Roads It’s been almost a year since I bought the 992, but surprisingly, I haven’t really gone on a proper solo touring trip yet. I’ve gone to Fuji Speedway with my family and joined group tours with Porsche friends, so most of my drives have involved multiple people. I haven’t really done much solo touring. This time, I finally took out the 992 to join the Hiruzen MT (Meeting) held...

Replacing the Rear Spoiler Wall (Bellows) on a Porsche 911 (Air-Cooled 964)

The hot days continue, but I’m still frequently driving my 964. Since it has Tiptronic, it’s easy to drive both around town and for commuting, making it arguably the best air-cooled Porsche for everyday use. One day, I casually lifted the rear spoiler to take a look and found that the plastic bellows (accordion-style) part had deteriorated and developed holes. While it doesn’t directly affect driving performance, it looks bad from behind and isn’t ideal...

The Allure of the Porsche 911 (992): The Joy of Throttle Control

Throttle Control in the Porsche 911 (992) The other day, I shared an article praising the base model of the 992 Porsche 911, and I mentioned that my husband’s Porsche friends were also amazed and impressed by the performance of the 992 base model. When I later asked one of them what exactly they liked so much, they said: “The handling and solid suspension feel almost comparable to a GT3,” and on top of the...

Let’s Go to the Ends of the Earth Together! The Charm of the Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964)

The Charm of the Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964) Recently, my husband had the air conditioning gas refilled at his usual shop because the A/C in our air-cooled Porsche 911 (964) wasn’t cooling well. They also added a fluorescent dye to check whether the gas was leaking somewhere or just naturally decreasing. After driving it for a few days, he planned to bring it back to the shop for inspection. Since the A/C gas refill made...

No Regrets About Selling the Porsche 911 GT3 Thanks to the 992’s Presence

Do We Regret Selling the Porsche 911 GT3 Touring? We sold our Porsche 911 GT3 Touring this past April. It was a cherished car, carefully specified and purchased by my husband with great dedication. However, its performance was so high that we rarely had the chance to fully unleash it in everyday driving, so we reluctantly let it go. Since then, we’ve received many questions like “Do you regret selling the 911 GT3?” and “Have...

What’s Going On This Year? Porsche 911 (Air-Cooled 964) Air Conditioning Isn’t Working

The other day, the air conditioning on our air-cooled Porsche 911 (964 model) stopped working, and my husband wrote an article about it. Please take a look if you’re interested. Air Conditioning on the Air-Cooled Porsche Lately, I’ve been rotating through the Porsches, switching which one I drive each week. As summer approached and the temperatures rose significantly, I decided to take the 964 out for a spin after a while. Starting the engine in...
