Here’s how you deal with detailing a Porsche 964 Turbo when it has very thin paint

5/25/20227:50 estFiled to: Concours & Car Care, Porsche Maintenance TipsBy: Bradley Brownell

Preserving the shine on cars like this beautiful 964 is a job that not just anyone can do. This old Porsche needed a rehab, but it also needed protection from itself. Thankfully, our friend Larry Kosilla is just the kind of guy to make sure the paintwork and interior materials are kept as nice as possible. The black nineties supercar had extremely …

Best Replacement Battery For My Porsche

5/28/20211:00 estFiled to: Porsche Maintenance Tips, Porsche PartsBy: Robbi Hess

Of course, you can jump online and search for a 12-volt replacement battery for your Porsche, that's what Google is for, right? But is that the best way to treat your performance vehicle? Chances are you’re not going to the sale bin to buy replacement oil, so why would you place just any battery under the hood of your Porsche? Look for a battery …

Catch Up On Your Porsche’s Deferred Maintenance Before Heading Out On A Summer Road Trip

5/27/202112:39 estFiled to: LifeStyle, Porsche Maintenance TipsBy: Bradley Brownell

1967 Porsche 912

Things have been a little bit weird for the last 18 months. Chances are you didn't get much of a chance to take your Porsche out for a good long trip in 2020, and as Coronavirus restrictions begin to ease around the country, it's time to fire it up and take it for a rip to some distant locale, preferably a tropical one by the ocean, or a secluded …

Porsche 912E Intake Boots Don’t Exist, So I Built My Own

4/14/202010:12 estFiled to: Porsche Maintenance TipsBy: Bradley Brownell

On a recent road trip (before covid-19 lockdown) my 912E was having some major trouble. It was missing and bucking in the midrange. The little 2-liter was running fine at wide open throttle, and it ran fine at idle, so I figured it had to be a major vacuum leak. Since the engine was recently rebuilt with all new vacuum lines, I figured the culprit …

Newly Restored Brake Calipers From PMB Performance Make A Huge Difference

12/22/201912:55 estFiled to: Porsche Maintenance TipsBy: Bradley Brownell

My 1976 Porsche 912E is a few years older than I am, and as such it deserves a little rest and relaxation lately. It's lived a long hard life with a lot of abuse. My goal over the next few posts on the car are to get it back into mechanically tip top condition. The body is perhaps in need of some serious help, but for now that's going to have to …

What It’s Like When A 996 Turbo Goes Under the Knife for New Coolant Pipes

7/11/20196:16 estFiled to: Porsche Maintenance TipsBy: Tommy Parry

The one chink in the Mezger's armor is its flimsy coolant pipes. For such a bulletproof motor, it seems strange that Porsche just glued the coolant pipes on. Though press-fitted, these coolant lines are known to pop off under high RPM load. Hoovie's lousy luck meant his first trip to Heartland Motorsports Park was interrupted by his own lines …

3 Lighting Mods to Clean Up Your Porsche’s Exterior

8/18/201811:24 estFiled to: Porsche Maintenance TipsBy: Chris Cushing

While a strong enough will and disregard for appearances can stick LED strips to anything, it is not the way to aesthetic harmony for your Porsche. From the factory Porsche's aesthetics tend toward distinctive, yet understated. While the brand is not immune to following the trends of the moment (I'm looking at you, side strakes on slantnose 911s), …

How Tire Pressure and Inflation Affect Your Porsche’s Performance

8/13/201812:10 estFiled to: Porsche Maintenance TipsBy: Chris Cushing

Proper tire pressure porsche

For those of us who drive on the street, tire pressure probably doesn't get a lot of consideration. Porsche includes recommendations in the manual, and frankly, why not use them? Of course, when driving deviates from the daily grind, tire pressures become a lot more important. Whether using your Porsche for a track day, autocross, or road rally, …

Horse Power vs. Torque: Better Known as Horse Power = Horse Poo

5/1/20187:28 estFiled to: Porsche Maintenance TipsBy: Heidi and Franny

Have you ever wondered about the difference between Horsepower and Torque? These two numbers are probably the most well known specifications in the automotive industry. Yet, I didn't feel like I really had a solid grasp on the differences. I had some idea of each separately, but I was missing just how they interact. I started doing some …

Porsche Spring Start up Steps

4/16/201812:16 estFiled to: Porsche Maintenance TipsBy: Pepper Girl

UPDATED ON APRIL 16, 2018 Will winter never end? While we avoided all of the "four easters" here in the North East (we were away in Florida for the season), many in our Porsche community weren't so lucky. In fact, just yesterday, on April 15th, it snowed. Our 911s sit in storage awaiting a bit of rain to wash the salt from to road and we can't …
