I Scraped the Cayenne… The other day, I scraped the right rear of our Cayenne. After going on and on in this blog about safe driving and acting like I knew it all, I went and did this… Here’s what happened. Hyogo Prefecture’s gubernatorial election is this Sunday (today), but I wouldn’t be able to make it on election day, so I decided to vote early. As I was parking at a nearby facility, I...
Refinishing the Wheels on Our 911 (964) There’s a saying that “everything has a soul.” Treat an appliance with care, and it may keep working reliably for years. And sometimes, the moment you say, “It’s been acting up lately—we should replace it,” it suddenly starts working perfectly again. I sometimes wonder if the same thing can be said of cars. The other day, my husband had the wheels on our 911 (964) refinished at an...
Porsche Maintenance The other day, I wrote about vehicle inspections for our Porsches (Boxster and 964). In response, readers shared comments about issues with their own cars, as well as inspections and maintenance. As I read through them, I found myself thinking, “There’s so much valuable information here that you’d only know from owning one of these cars…” So I decided to share some of those comments on the blog. Of course, maintenance needs vary...
Porsche 911 (Air-Cooled 964) Inspection In a recent article, “Driving a Refreshed Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964) Felt Like Driving a New Car,” I mentioned that I’d share the inspection details later. So this time, I’m going to cover what the inspection involved and how much it cost. For this inspection, we took the car to B-Force, the shop that’s looked after our 964 ever since it was delivered. Here’s what the inspection included and what...
Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964) It’s hard to believe that our 964 has been with us for two full years. “We’ve been keeping up with maintenance over the past couple of years, and it’s in much better shape now. I reckon it’s getting close to how it felt when it was new,” my husband often said. But between the whirlwind of having a baby and a period when we kept the 964 in a parking lot...
The other day, my husband had the suspension on our air-cooled Porsche completely refreshed. He’s written about the work and how the car feels on the road now—take a look if you’re interested. Porsche 911 Carrera 2 (Air-Cooled 964) This fall marks two years since our Porsche 911 Carrera 2 (air-cooled 964) joined the family. It now has around 66,000 kilometers (41,000 miles) on the odometer. Apart from a recent dead battery, ownership has been...
The Battery in Our Air-Cooled Porsche 911… We currently own six cars, but there’s only room to park two at home, so we keep the others in several different places, including nearby and close to my husband’s workplace. The other day, my husband headed to work saying, “I’ll drive home in the air-cooled Porsche (964) I’ve parked near the office today.” It had only been parked for about a week, so I didn’t think there...
A little while ago, my husband wrote about installing something called ICE FUSE. I’d like to share his article with you. The other day, I spotted a post on social media about someone installing ICE FUSE in an air-cooled Porsche. I looked into what it was and found it intriguing, so I ordered a set and installed it in our air-cooled 911 (964). What Is ICE FUSE? ICE FUSE is a performance fuse made using...
わが家にある、空冷ポルシェ911（964C2）。2ヶ月前に整備をしたばかりですが、予備整備ということで、再びお店に持っていき、デストリビューターベルト・ローター・キャップ交換、リアのブロアファンの中のファンとモーター交換などをしてもらいました。
ポルシェブログです。先日メンテナンスを終えた、空冷ポルシェ911（964C2）で芦有ドライブウェイを走ってみました。30年前とは思えないほど、エネルギッシュで伸びやかな加速力、ティプロとの魅力について。
