Hello Muthers!

[7of911]

...on this fine Mother's Day.

I figured it's time for an introduction. I've been a long time lurker, actually, have been lurking for time period of two Porsches! a 71T and my current ride, a 76 911S targa. I've had the 76 for less than a year.

Pictures, I hear you say? Hope this URL works:


So, what do you think? What should I do to if first? It has a bit of oversteer when I corner. What could cause that? I think I need that V-Ram thingy.

If it was me, send the wheels to Al Reed, and change the whale with a duck.

Lower to at least Euro height.

[Jim Richards]

I would set the ride height to euro specs or outfit your car with O2. Don't want to black out at high altitudes.

Also, get an alignment and see if that provides any help with your oversteer.

[Larry Harris]

The car sits way too high, esp in the rear!

go low

Lower and do something with the wheels (polish the lips?). Wht size wheels do you have there? Consider going bigger. Stay with the whaletail. Consider tinting the glass.

Good greif guys.
Dudes first post and all you can do is bash his ride height, wheels and tail?

Granted, he "is" Canadian, but come on!


Welcome aboard, Ian.

[swbsam]

did someone ask for bashing?

I'm sorry, I thought he was asking about what we thought would make a nice car even better.
Hey Ian, welcome aboard. I personally love cars with the whaletail and I think that a targa is fun to drive when the weather is nice. Sorry if we came on too strong. You have to have a tough skin to run with this crowd.

Sam: I'm loving the 8-ball and flames. Tell me where I can get some for my ride.

Euro ride height? That's waaaay too high! It a 911, not a Cayenne.

[efhughes3]

Oversteer and the very high rear end are most likely related!

[7of911]

So, my ride height is a little outta whack, I take it? (that explains all the forehead grease on the inside of the windshield and the empty coke cups under the pedal cluster!)

swbsam - The side decals are slick too. Maybe a Dale Earnhardt tribute could work too?

Jim R. - O2 masks that drop from the visors would be cool. Kinda Knight Rider-ish.

Leland / Por_sha911 - thanks for the warm welcome. No worries; I do have a thick skin and a sense of humour! (You have to with these cars.)

OK, so I've compiled your list of 'must dos' from this post and have given the car to Moto Miester for a once over. (heard great things about these guys)









The car should be completed by tomorrow evening. I'll be sure to post the results.
