Porsche 911 (Air-Cooled 964) Vehicle Inspection The other day, in the article “Riding a Refreshed Porsche 911 (Air-Cooled 964) Felt Like a Brand-New Car,” I mentioned that I would share the details of the vehicle inspection later. So this time, I want to write about the costs and contents of the inspection. For this inspection, I asked B-Force, who has been taking care of the 964’s maintenance since delivery. Here is the breakdown of the...

Maintenance Costs of the Porsche 911 GT3: Are They Higher Than the 911 Carrera?
Maintenance Costs of the Porsche GT3 The other day, I received a question: “It’s said that the maintenance costs for the GT3 are higher than those for the 911 Carrera, but what exactly is more expensive and by how much?” So, I asked my husband what he thought about it. Hmm… So far, I don’t really feel that the GT3 is significantly more expensive to maintain compared to the 911 Carrera. However, if you frequently...

Riding the Refreshed Porsche 911 (Air-Cooled 964) Felt Like Driving a New Car
Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964) Time flies—it’s already been two full years since our 964 was delivered. My husband often said, “Thanks to the regular maintenance over these two years, it’s gotten into really good shape! I think it’s getting close to how it felt when it was brand new.” But with the chaos of childbirth and periods when the 964 was parked far from home, I hadn’t driven it at all. ポルシェ911（空冷964型）の足回り全般を純正部品で交換！ 空冷ポルシェ 911（964）の予防整備 –...

Driving the Porsche 911 GT3 to the Heart of Japan Meeting
Touring with Wata, a Boxster Enthusiast My husband has long regarded Wata-san, famous for his blog about his Porsche Boxster (previously a BMW Alpina), as his “mentor.” Wata-san’s 981 Boxster, purchased new, has already surpassed 160,000 kilometers, having conquered countless roads all over Japan multiple times—a truly remarkable driver. My husband often said, I love driving and touring too, but I can’t match Wata-san. He’s really amazing. I hope to meet him someday and drive...

Oil Change for Porsche 911 GT3 at the Dealer: How Much Did It Cost?
GT3 Surpasses 10,000 Kilometers The 911 GT3 was delivered last May. In just a year and a half, it has already exceeded 10,000 kilometers (currently 10,605 km). Even though my husband often goes touring with other cars, the fact that the GT3 has passed 10,000 km really shows how much he loves driving. Recently, my husband mentioned something about the GT3: The feel of the GT3’s steering wheel has changed a bit. It used to...

Porsche 911 Carrera (992) Oil Change Costs and More
Oil Change for Porsche 911 (992) The other day, my husband already had the oil and filter changed on his 911 Cabriolet (992) at the dealer. It had only been a little over a month since delivery, but he had quickly finished the break-in period by using it for commuting and some mid-distance touring. The reason was that he had planned to drive at Fuji Speedway soon at a Porsche Driving School (Porsche Track Experience),...

Driving the Porsche 911 GT3 on the Chirihama Nagisa Driveway!
Heading to Chirihama Nagisa Driveway Lately, my husband has been going on tours almost every week. (Just recently, I wrote an article saying his touring enthusiasm wasn’t as strong as before, haha.) Often, for these long-distance tours, he stays overnight, heading out with a huge load of camera gear and other equipment, like some kind of film crew. And just the other day, he drove on Japan’s only sandy beach where you can actually drive...

How Seats Transform the Ride Comfort｜Porsche 911 Sports Seat vs. Sports Seat Plus
Porsche’s Sports Seat Plus The other day, my husband had the chance to test drive a 911 Carrera S (992 model) on a circuit, and when he came home, he said this: This time, I drove the 911 Carrera S, and I kept wondering, “Why is the ride comfort so different between our base 911 (992 model) and the S?” After some thought, I figured it out. The difference in seats plays a big role....
