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

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.

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 Brownell

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 …

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 …

Covering and Installing Your Own 911 RS-Style Door Cards

2/28/20198:00 estFiled to: UncategorizedBy: Bradley Brownell

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 …

1/2/20191:59 estFiled to: Tires and Wheels, UpgradesBy: Bradley Brownell

So I have this Talbot Yellow 1976 Porsche 912E that I drive a lot. It doesn't get mentioned much here, because it hasn't needed much work, it isn't much of a project car, and I just keep driving it. I have owned this car for just a tick over 2 years, and I take it on long road trips all over the country, racking up over 30,000 miles of in that …

Project Boxster Clubsport: Part 19 – Adjustable Toe Control Arms

2/15/20179:32 estFiled to: Do It YourselfBy: Bradley Brownell

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. So far, we're really happy with what the Boxster has become, even though the motion of the project has been …
