Painted wheels of 911 (964 type)

."A thing has a soulAs the saying goes, even electrical appliances will work well for a long time if you take good care of them.I'll replace it because it's not doing so well lately.Sometimes I feel so much better as soon as I talk about it.

I wonder if that is true for cars as well.

The other day, my husband had the wheels of his 911 (964 model) repainted at a car repair store. As expected of such an old car, the wheels had balancer marks, many minor scratches, and the clear paint had peeled off and the color had dulled.

In this issue.Total Repair AvenirI just had the wheels repainted by a local shop, and I didn't change anything else about the suspension, etc., but my husband was

I feel like my 964 is running better after having the wheels cleaned. I guess it is similar to the feeling of a car running happily and lightly after a car wash.
Toyota had previously announced that it would beImprove handling by simply putting aluminum tape on the car.I wonder if it's like that....

Humans are illusionary creatures and the placebo effect(The disease gets better when the person is given something that is not a drug, but he or she believes that it is an ingredient that works.)I think it may be my imagination, but I don't think I can say that it is 100% my imagination.

Every time I maintain a 964.

And the other day, I decided to go shopping at the supermarket on a rainy day, and asked the kids, "Do you want to go?" I asked them, and they said, "I'm not going because I'll watch Youtube"...w I decided to go shopping alone for the first time in a while.

Then my husband said, "Why don't you go with 964 if you're so inclined?He said.

But it was raining quite a bit outside."It's raining, and if it gets wet, it'll get dirty, so I won't do it.I responded, "I'm sorry.

I'll just wash them again, so that's fine. Since I painted the wheels, it seems to run better, and the headlights and interior lights have been replaced with LEDs for comfort, so you can go check that out too.

My husband said.

Come to think of it, my husband has been tinkering with his 964 at night lately, as if it were aReviving the 964 as a modern carI hope to write more about this in a future article.

So I drove the 964 in the rain, and it was certainly easier to drive than before.

Well... my husband told me in advance that he was going toBetter.I had heard that the 964 was a good car, and I was also used to driving a 964 from the past, and I think this was partly because I had grown attached to it.

However, as I have been doing more and more maintenance, it seems as if the car is responding to my requests, and the "spirit" of the car is mysteriously getting better and better these days.

That's because the latest Porsches are easier to drive with better performance and added safety features, but in the case of the 964.Well-built cars with solid fundamentals are regaining their original driving performance.It feels like a "(I don't know about those days.)The following is a list of the most common problems with the "C" in the "C" column.

Before 964 had yet arrived in our home, my husband had been told that he was going toI've been wanting a 964 lately.When I was looking for a 964 every day on used car websites, I honestly thought, "I'm not going to be able to find a 964."I wonder why he dares to buy such an old car, he loves things!I thought, "I'm not going to be able to do that.

In addition, I maintained it often after I purchased it, so I was able to "get the best out of it."It's still so hard to find an old car that costs so much money even after you buy it.I was looking at it thinking, "What the hell is this?

But now I realize that even an old car made 30 years ago can run so well if you maintain it well and take good care of it.It's nice to keep driving a car that was made a long time ago with care...I've come to think of it as "the(It costs money, but...)

But you can only ride so long like that.The 964 is a well built, high performance car.The basic premise of the project is that the company is a "good" company.

Soulful 911.

Going back to the first sentence of the article, "Everything has a soul," I feel that the 964 is the car with the most soul among the cars I have in my house now.(Well, it's an old car)

It was built in Germany, has been on many roads, experienced many things, seen many landscapes, and from here, I can feel the spirit of still going on many journeys with the new owner...

By the way, some 964s in good condition these days are worth over 10 million yen, and my husband

I did about 7 million when I bought mine, but once I let it go, I may never get another one in the same condition.

He said.

You're right...you really might not get it once you let it go. I hope you can take good care of him from here on out.

  1. good luck

    I also asked Total Repair Avenir to restore my Carrera S wheels.

    I remember being very impressed with the workmanship and the reasonable price.

    I hear the market for air-cooled Porsches is going up, and I'd be happy to go back in time and buy one at the price they were worth back then!

    Considering the price at that time, I would think that 992 is quite expensive now.

      >Total Repair Avenir, I also asked them to restore my Carrera S wheels.
      Oh yes!
      My husband also said that the work was very thorough, the website was easy to understand and the price was reasonable.
      You're right, 911 is very expensive now............................;
      Compared to the Cayman and Boxster, it seems even higher.

    Hello.

    I like the idea of repainting the wheels. I have thought the same thing when I did the scuffing.

    I thought that the fact that the tire was removed from the wheel and then reassembled, eliminating the weight bias caused by the helicopter of the tire, was a big factor in the success of the project.

    Furthermore, even if you do wheel alignment, etc., it can be so easy to ride that you will be impressed.
    I once thought that it was hard for the person riding to tell because of the gradual shift.

    Either way, I envy the environment where I can compare various Porsches.

    I would also like to try my best to have another Porsche that I can use on a daily basis.

      There are many factors that affect the comfort of the ride, and it seems to vary quite a bit depending on subtle factors, doesn't it?
      I still think that regular maintenance and tweaking where it's bothering you is a good idea.
      I thought it was important.

      >I would like to have another Porsche that I can use on a daily basis.
      I, for one, will try my best to buy my own Porsche!

    Thank you very much.

    Indeed, the old Porsche has a soul, doesn't it?
    From what I hear, having a beautiful ridge heritage in the passenger seat puts Porsche in a bad mood!
    Like a pet doggie, would he be jealous if another child was being adored!
    Unfortunately, I have never had such a situation, so I can't be sure.

      Thank you for everything!

      >I hear that having a beautiful ridge heritage in the passenger seat puts Porsche in a bad mood.
      I see!!! I would love to have someone confirm that for me (laughs).
      After all, it is no fun for the master to adore something other than himself, isn't it?

      Old Porsches are so deep...!
      My husband has been riding his 964 every day lately and it seems to be very comfortable.
