Fuel line leak, had to have through-chassis connector ends replaced $108.00.
Heater tubing worn out, replaced $46.00.
Shift linkage very vague, replaced with improved factory shift linkage kit $150.00 (still worked OK I chose to replace)
Replaced stock cam tensioner w/Carrera type and direct oiling system $900.00 (not broke, I chose to replace)
Car is beautiful, looks new & sounds tight and strong. Remarkably fast, accelerates quite strong to about 145mph tapers off after that, but still pulling @ 155. (recently passed a 2004 Mustang GT briskly when he topped out @ 133)
Corners very well, when pushed hard back end will slide out. The trick is to hold or give a little more gas as slide begins. If you hit the brakes or back off in slide, your toast.
Gets about 26 mpg on road @70 mph cruise. Best all around smooth cruising speed is 110mph when I can get away with it.
Reviews like these, and lower US prices (compared to Canadian) prices for older 911's make me wanna sell my e30 bmw and catch the next flight to the states for a nice little P-Car.
Great review!
A STOCK 911 SC WON'T do 155 mph. They are 130-140 mph cars, at best.
