The throwout bearing, pilot bearing, and clutch fork had to be replaced.
Minor items such as light bulbs were also replaced.
A true sports car. Very fast, handles excellent. The 915 transmission takes a bit of getting used to. This is a car for a skilled driver. You will not be putting it into "drive" and go gently down the road. Reaching a 100mph is easy. It can be achieved without trying. The DIY factor is high. There is an active community of porsche owners who are willing to help guide you through repairs. These "older" 911's are not like the new porsches. They are much more raw. You feel like their place is on a racetrack, not to mention this car is a real head turner.
I have a 85 rather then a 86, but very similar. Just a really wonderful beast to drive, plenty of power, but not too much. Very nicely balanced. Great handling, but it takes a great driver to get the most out of it which I am not. You know your in a "real" car when you feel the heavy steering and clutch. My wife says it takes some strength to drive.
My car has been quite reasonable to own for an enthusiasts car. Yes, definitely not the most comfortable car to drive in and I could use losing an inch or two. My brother's 87 targa provides more head room. Also, his transmission is easier to use then the 85. That's all I have to add. Happy motoring. I guess a lot of us Carerra drivers always dreamed of owning a porshe as kids and finally took the plunge in a relatively affordable way.
