911 SC HELP, AYUDA! Woodbridge, VA
 

Hello everyone,

I am actually looking for a member in the Northern Virginia area that can take a look at my recently acquired 1983 911SC and can share some technical information. I live in the Woodbridge, VA area and I am about 25 minutes from DC.

About my 911 SC:

Purchased the vehicle out of Florida two weeks ago with about 96,500 miles on it. The car has been in storage for over 5 years and modified to run in hot weather. Yes the previous owner took out the heater, hoses, etc.

It needs a paint job and the interiors look pretty good. The engine seems strong but the car surges after hot. This is were I hope to meet someone that can assist me to adjust the CIS air/gas mixture. I have read many of the postings but I don't want to mess with the car's system until a drive it for about 100 miles with gas treatments.

The more I run the car the better it gets since it has been in storage for so long. I purchased the 101 project book and technical manuals. Any assistance will be highly appreciated.

Best regards and feel free to contact me.
Thanks, Glenn

Hi Glenn.
Congrats on the 911. Check out this website. I believe it is what you are looking for. The Land of NoVA/DC/MD area Porschephiles - Powered by vBulletin.

Thanks for the information. I was planning to drop the car at the body shop after taking care of all mechanical details but I could not resist. So last Saturday I installed new tires and dropped the car off for a full restoration. ETA 3 weeks. Yesterday the car was taken apart to include the front and rear windshield and everything else. I was extremely happy for not finding any traces of rust under the carriage and in all of the obvious places.

The car had been in storage for over 5 years and defenitely needs to be driven for another 200 miles. I expect that some of the surgin problems to get better as it has been after driving the car for a while with new gas and threatment.

thanks again,

Glenn
