Hi everyone,

Been a bit of a roller coaster with cars the past few years, but there are a couple of absolutes I have learned- one of which needs to be addressed.

I have a '76 Euro Ferrari 308GTB and it is a keeper. The engine was just rebuilt and it is just fabulous. The carbureted Italian void is filled which brings me to the other issue. My wife hates riding in it.....

I love the 993. Previously having a '86 Carrera targa I decided if I were to get into another 911 it would need to be a late 993 with good a/c and be able to double as a daily driver should I need. The Ferrari is not exactly able to do the daily driver thing while maintaining my sanity. Couple questions:

Has the Carrera valve guide issue been addressed by the time the 993 came along? I recall my targa needed the valves/guides done before 100k miles and everyone I know who wrenches on them says it's just one of those unavoidable things with Carrera's. I'm hoping the 993 does not have this issue.

993 a/c? Modern, or am I going to have to mess with it?

How's the clutch?

Any drivetrain 'watch out' factors I should look into when inspecting one of these?


thanks for your help everyone.

Best,
John
