This time, I’m diving into a rather niche topic: the correct way to install wheels on our air-cooled Porsche 911 (964 model). For those who have owned air-cooled Porsches for years, this might seem like “Oh, it’s just that simple,” but this article also reveals Porsche’s deep dedication to driving performance, so I’d like to share it with you. Genuine Porsche Wheel Nuts and Theft-Prevention Nuts The genuine Porsche nuts used on models like the...

Test Driving the Last Air-Cooled Porsche: The 993 Porsche 911
Porsche 911 Type 993 I’ve had the chance to drive many air-cooled Porsches and have reviewed them in the past, but until now, I hadn’t actually reviewed the 993. This time, I had the opportunity to test drive the 993 Porsche 911, the last air-cooled Porsche, so I’d like to share my review. This car is a Guards Red 993 Carrera S (Tiptronic). Originally, the Carrera S was introduced only in the later 993 models...

Test Drive: Porsche 964 Carrera RS (Touring) – What Sets It Apart from the Standard Carrera?
Porsche 911 Carrera RS (964 Model) It’s been about three and a half years since the air-cooled Porsche 911 (964 model) Carrera 2 came to our home. Captivated by the analog feel that modern Porsches no longer have, and the handling that directly reflects driving skill, I still find the 964 endlessly fresh and enjoyable to drive. It’s a car that’s fun even without pushing it hard, enjoyable at any speed or situation—from city streets...

Test Drive in the Porsche 356 Speedster: Where Porsche’s Open-Top Legacy Began
Porsche 356 Speedster I’ve previously written about test driving the Porsche 356 coupe in an earlier article, but this time I had the opportunity to drive the 356 Speedster, so I’d like to share my review. The model I drove was a 1958 Porsche 356A Speedster. After some research, I found that the 356 had three open-top variants: the Cabriolet, Speedster, and Roadster. This particular car is a Speedster, and the “Speedster” grade that continues...
Porsche Maintenance Costs
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...

Attending the Hiruzen MT Yesterday, I wrote an article about touring the Okayama Wide-Area Farm Road (link here), and today I want to share about the Hiruzen MT (Meeting) I joined along the way.

After a while, a huge drive-in-like facility with a large Ferris...

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...
