Bridget: Das Porsche 911

[ScubaSteve2]

Just read this entire thread.

I'm fortunate enough to own one of these old girls myself, an '88 Carrera 3.2. We have gone down a similar path with updating the engine and body.

Are you still planning on different wheels and maybe changing the body up a bit?? And if you do would you back date or update it totally? I'm hoping to rebuild a set of Oz Futuras for mine early next year.

A quick pic of mine. 964 body update with a 3.6L Varioram and some other goodies.

Thanks for the support. I appreciate the kind words.
I’m pretty fond of the body and refinement of the 964 styling, but I will switch wheels eventually. Hopefully something deeper in the back. Futuras would be a beautiful combo. I like 5 spoke with lip.
The body could be updated as well, but I’m not in any rush. The longer I have the car, the more i appreciate the minor details and character of the car.

So glad to see an update on this. the 911 market has skyrocketed so much, you're probably the last guy in the world that got to buy one in your's condition for that price. So cool!!!

It’s the little things which are most frustrating.
For the past few weeks, I couldn’t keep the trunk closed, or up.
It would fall under the weight of the turbo tail, and would unlatch when I went over bumps.
I thought about removing the tail, and going flat, but I had an extra lid shock, so I took inspiration from this.





Ace hardware, 6 bucks, and 20 minutes later, I had a solid strut, and with some minor adjustments of the 10m trunk locking mechanism, we were perfectly flush.

A few pics from the long haul.
Got some looks out in Utah/Wyoming

Running a little rich at altitude and without all the smog crap. I plugged up the smog recirculator with a wine cork.
No AC/Heat just to keep the bay nice and opened up.
The permatune box on the left is a source of some electrical issues, so I''ll be switching over to an MSD unit soon, i just need to find a magnetic pickup distributor, as I'm still running points.

looks incredible, my man! You're much farther along with your build at 17/18 years old than I was haha.
Keep up the good work, buddy!

Back in Business

I've been trying to get my password reset for a while to no avail, so I just had to come back with an original username.
Long story short,
• Moved out to Colorado
• Military wouldn’t allow us to own cars in my program for the past few years
• Now I can have a car again
• Just trailered ol’ girl out in July.
• Way easier to get it smogged out here.
So, I have the car out here, plated, took off all the smog accessories, she runs great.
I got some stuff to take care of tonight, but I wanted to get back on the thread with a solid update.
Got some pictures out at Garden of the Gods the other day.











I’ll try and get another update soon with some engine/performance stuff I’m working on.
Thanks for the support and patience if any of the OGs are still around.

Yes sir. I'll be commissioned as a Second Lieutenant upon graduation.

Gotcha. Word of advice, don't get to your first unit acting like you know everything. We enlisted folk don't take to kindly to that and will let you know pretty quickly. Other than that, have fun!

[itsjustkevin]

Wow, beautiful car, and i must say you seem very well spoken and mature for 17 unlike some others this website has seen.

[ScubaSteve]

Ah yes. Those pesky security measures that don't let you do a damn thing on the computer. Did you say you were at the academy as in going to be an officer?

Couldn't figure out why you haven't been on instagram in a while... This makes sense now! The Air Force will be great! Having air force on my dad's resume helped him big time in the aviation industry.

Yeah, phone usage is heavily restricted. Both my parents are vets. My mom has worked with Boeing, AgustaWestland, and she's now interviewing with NASA.
It's a sweet gig.
Plus, it's a fully paid for education, guranteed job, and I'm being paid to be here.

Sorry for leaving everyone hanging. I crashed the car into a wall.

Just kidding. lololol
The car is finished. It’s beautiful.
She purrs like a jungle cat.
And I have a ton of updates, which I would love to share, but unfortunately I’m at the Air Force Academy, and I can only have my phone on the weekends, my phone has all the pictures and videos. The car is back in California in my parent’s garage.
I know, this is a tease, but I’ll get my phone back Friday night and email the pictures to this computer where I can post them. They have a ridiculous security setup to where if I plug in any drives or usbs the computer will lock down, so I’ll see what I can do.

I appreciate anyone who followed my thread; the wait was worth it.
Standby.
