Hi Ime a NEW boy!
 

Only had my new play thing a few weeks (see photo) I am so so so chufffed with it after driving 250+ miles to collect it without viewing it (had hpi and milage and reg check) I know it woz a gamble but it more than paid off !Its a 1988 (89) model year 911 carrera sport in gp white with mint blue/white pinstripe club sport (i believe) interior, loads of options,full service history, 4 previous owners, only covered about 2000miles in the last 5 years etc etc. I have fixed the hot air fan and footwell motors (fuses blown in footwells and rear motor seized) now about to replace cold air fan To make the heating tip-top as i had to on my last 1987 carrera targa so found it easyish! My only slight consern in a whine from the gearbox/diff when i lift of the throttle in all gears over 20mph and the oil presure guage that has been fine until today (meaning its above 1 at tickover and rises to 5 @ 5000rpm) now goes straight to 3 bounces about a bit then to 4 then back to 3 bla bla bla ! It hasnt tacken the smile off my face but some small reassurance its not about to die would be great !Thanks !http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1146002094.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1146002152.jpg

Welcome to the site.

Sweet seats! Nice ride...

Nice car, congratulations!

It looks great. How the he!! can you get accustomed to starting that thing with your right hand?

Looks great. I love GPW, especially w/ blue interior. Very nice looking car.

Thanks for all your replys ! Still gettin used to how the site works ! Does anyone know of any good threads about my oil presure and gearbox whine issues ! or do ijust have to search around ? Any help would be good !!!!!!

i love those seats! cool car. welcome

Welcome !

Obviously I am very fond of GPW. But I really dig the pinstripe interior too. Very nice !

Hi Matt

Welcome to the forum from a fellow UK pelican - just start searching using some relevant words and you will find more than you can ever read through on virtually every subject you care to investigate, I remember I lost whole days when I first discovered pelican.

Good luck with all your projects - seems you have a nice car to get you going

Welcome - GPW - can't go wrong there :)

The search button/criteria has just been modified and will probably suit all your needs on your oil pressure thing and so on

Btw - half my speedster comes from design911 in uk - good company

Nice!!! But, why do some people take pics of a mirror reflection.

Hey! I like those seats! Nice car, Matt.

Joe

Nice car, but I've always wondered why you guys drive on the wrong side of the road.;)

Now that I'm thinking about it, your right foot is centered more.

Your left foot has nothing to brace to?

Can you describe the differences in more detail than that?

I'm just curious no offense intended.:)

There's plenty of mechanical noises to be heard in a 911, I wouldn't worry too much about the whine especially on decel.

Try wiggling the wires at the oil pressure sender.

Don't other RHD cars have key on the right side? The interior is not a mirror image, imagine putting the steering column of any "normal" car on the passenger side, the ignition would still be on the right. Same as the pedal assembly. It's just with the LHD Porsches that we need to get accustomed to using the different hand. :)

The real reason for the keys being on the "right" side is . . . . . . . . When you need to make a quick get-away you can get the car in gear at the same time as turning the key . . . . . . (thats my theory). I only drive on the wrong side when clipping the apex !!!!!!!!!! Dont think there is one rhd car that i know of with the key on the left of the wheel, that would be weird ! :)

wow, nice!
