Our Porsche 912E Gets Its Full Suspension Overhaul After A Pile Of Problems

8/25/202012:32 estFiled to: Do It YourselfBy: Bradley Brownell3 Comments

Whenever you're doing a task for the first time, it is bound to take several times longer due to a lack of experience with procedure and form. That was definitely the case here with our 1976 Porsche 912E suspension overhaul. We ran into some serious issues in the disassembly process but we expected the re-assembly to go a bit smoother. We were very …

Our Porsche 912E Needs A Full Suspension Overhaul, But It Doesn’t All Go To Plan

7/27/202011:43 estFiled to: Do It YourselfBy: Bradley Brownell1 Comment

We've had this old 1976 Porsche 912E kicking around the garage for about five years, and mostly we've just been enjoying the experience of driving it. It's far from a perfect example with a little bit of rust and paint that doesn't even look good from ten feet. It's definitely a driver-grade classic and won't ever be a show machine. The car had …

Project Boxster Clubsport: Part 25 – Major Weight Loss

10/27/20192:16 estFiled to: Do It YourselfBy: Bradley BrownellComment

We're entering new territory here! Porsche has just introduced the first of likely many electric cars in its Taycan, and it probably won't be long until we have a hybridized 911 in dealer showrooms. It's time we got with the program and see how this electric propulsion stuff works first hand. We've had "Project Boxster Clubsport" for a few years, …

Project Boxster Clubsport: Part 23 – A New Direction

7/22/20191:06 estFiled to: Do It Yourself, Electric PorscheBy: Bradley Brownell2 Comments

  The best laid plans of mice and men oft go awry. We've had "Project Boxster Clubsport" for a few years, and it's been dormant for the last two trips around the sun. I've done some work on the car, and it's been driven a quick trip here and there, but it has mostly been laying in wait. It looked like I would have the time to give it a …

Covering and Installing Your Own 911 RS-Style Door Cards

2/28/20198:00 estFiled to: Do It Yourself, Porsche PartsBy: Bradley BrownellComment

My 1976 Porsche 912E's original red door cards have seen better days. At some point in the car's life the outer window scraper seal had shrunk about an inch, and the plastic vapor barrier was removed entirely. As a result, rain water entered the door's interior and was wicked out through the door card's board backing, and additionally found its way …

Project Boxster Clubsport: Part 22 – Begin The Revival

9/27/20181:00 estFiled to: Do It YourselfBy: Bradley Brownell1 Comment

We've had "Project Boxster Clubsport" for quite a while now, but it's been dormant for over a year and it's time to rectify that. We purchased the Porsche for a song, and have been slowly making some moves to drop the car's weight and add a little more fun. It's an excellent Porsche to drive, but it's in a pretty sorry state right now, and we want …

What To Look For When Buying A 911 Carrera 3.2

3/14/201811:45 estFiled to: Do It YourselfBy: Bradley BrownellComment

White 1989 Carrera 3.2 pulls into Radwood 2 as the passenger waves to the camera

To some Porsche fans, the Carrera 3.2 is considered the pinnacle of Porsche aircooled, as it still used essentially the same chassis Porsche developed in the 1960s, but it had the power and creature comforts you needed for the car to cut the mustard in regular daily use. Later 964s turned off some traditionalists because that chassis dumped the …

Project Boxster Clubsport: Part 21 – Driving Impressions

5/12/20179:57 estFiled to: Do It YourselfBy: Bradley Brownell4 Comments

We've been wrenching on "Project Boxster Clubsport" for quite a while now, and it just keeps getting better. We purchased the Porsche for a song, and have been slowly making some moves to drop the car's weight and add a little more fun. We're really happy with where this Boxster ended up, even though there were some fits and starts along the …

Why Did You Buy Your First Porsche? Jethro Bovingdon Explains His Choice of a 996.

5/8/20178:18 estFiled to: Do It YourselfBy: Chris Cushing5 Comments

Jethro Bovingdon, formerly of Evo Magazine and now of Drivetribe was not always a Porsche believer. In his words; "I was a motoring journalist for about two weeks, and had a healthy skepticism when it came to Porsche 911s." A chance drive from Bedford Autodrome back to Evo's office in a base-specification 996 proved to be his "road to Damascus …
