    Clean lines are what the C2 are all about; no wing, no wide body kit etc. You’re so right keeping that stock look and keeping the engine as it is. There’s something rewarding about driving a car like this one with enough power to go fast, but not too much that takes away any incentive to downshift, or making some quick mental calculation about which gear to be in and at what rpm for which curve etc. Having cars that are too fast and don’t require this mental calculation or the downshifts diminishes the very engagement that you cherish. Keep this car mint and enjoy it forever.

    Great content! Love to see someone enjoy the visceral feelings an early 90's sports car brings to the driver. I've recently purchased a 2018 991.2 base with 8500 miles on the odometer and that is pretty much my daily driver now. Fun car and fulfilled a dream of mine since being a teenager of owning a 911. It has allowed me to fall in love with a car again after about 10 years off from my last ride in a SAAB 900 Turbo. I had several of those SAABs and still have one in the garage. They evoke the same feelings you describe perfectly with your 964. You get to know and feel the car in a way that is almost impossible with a newer vehicle....they have a personality if its possible. The smell, the feel, the sounds are just something you cannot find in a new car. And yes you are in for the journey with them good and bad. Glad you kept the 964 stock as it should be although if it were mine I'd be strongly tempted to do a tear down refurb and go completely broke doing so. I want to find a 964 also but the prices are insane....my wife already knows the 991.2 will not be my only Porsche....so one day the right one will present itself....after I pay off the 991.2! Thanks for the content and great production quality!

    One of the best ‘upgrades’ you can do, is ceramic coating the exhaust system. It helps more heat channel out the exhaust rather than dissipate through the engine bay. Overall cooler running temperatures, better AC performance and lesser wear and tear.

    Nicely done. I have a 1993 C2 coupe and enjoy it as it is. No need to try to turn it into something more modern because, as you say, it is a classic Porsche and gratifying to experience as built. I do have oil leaks at the timing chain housings, which is common to 964/993s. Mine has the rear wiper, an original option on the car, so I’ve left it on. With the launch of the 991 and then the 992, the 964 looks properly vintage and compact - almost exotic in its proportions. A very cool car. It looks like yours is slate grey, as is mine - Porsche is bringing it back with the 992.2.

  • @_arthouse
    @_arthouse 6 місяців тому +2

    Nice! I’ve had one for nearly 2 years now and can relate to what you’re saying. I deleted my rear wiper, put genuine RS glass in and had the rear shelf re upholstered. It’s a good idea to pull the glass out and check for corrosion, I had a new windscreen at the same time and there was some corrosion in both apertures. Can recommend putting the Porsche Classic radio in too, having that is great and keeps it OE looking. Like you, when I first bought mine I thought I’d modify it but I’m loving it as it is, maybe I’ll do some things later when I feel like a change, like the gear shift and LSD, but for now I love it! Yours looks a little lower than stock, does it have a suspension upgrade? I have KW’s on mine, it was the first thing I did and only other big mod I’ve done 👍

Glad you took the third light off, it had that 993 feel. Keep the back wiper, I think it's part of the history and it should stay that way. I live in USA.

    Nice video Misha, thanks for posting. Personally I don’t like the look of the rear wiper, I think it looks old fashioned - and not in a good way! I removed mine after 2 wiper arms broke - they are old and the metal is very weak. I first just fitted a ‘bung’ but thought this looked cheap so eventually dropped the wallet on a non wiper rear screen NOT the RS one but the one that still retains the de-mister wires, very useful I think. You will be told by many that the non modified 964’s will fetch more money - yawn - maybe they’re right but before you know it you’ll be watching the mileage and then all the fun will just drain away……..
    It’s your car and your money so do as you please but don’t listen too much to the ‘stock’ bores😂

    I live where it rains. I would pay a premium to have a rear wiper on my 3.2 carrera. I know it’s a few hundred dollar option when speccing. I know it disrupts the beautiful lines (a teeny tiny bit). However as a daily car, it’s worth a premium for many to find an old classic with the wiper. FWIW

    With all the 964's being used for backdating (Singer as the most prominent example) it will be harder and harder to find clean original examples of the 964. Add the low production numbers of the 964 and you can be sure that clean original 964's will become very rare and therefore valuable. To anyone that owns one, keep it and enjoy it. Most important, don't forget to drive the car. THAT is what they are made for and can do effortlessly for hundreds of thousands of miles.

    Well yeah, if I lived there that is the car to have also. I just sold my 964. Now I want it back.

    Keep the wiper. I drive a 987 Black Edition. Wanted to change some stuff but ultimately decided against it. The car is not yours, you’re just holding onto it for the foreseeable future. You buy into classic cars, you also buy into responsibility.

    Nice beautiful car, congratulations. The rear wiper is not beautiful, it would look more clean without it. That’s my opinion.

    Great car! Keep the wiper
    964 design, with its rubber boat bumpers, remains one of the worst in Porsche history.
