General Information

Vehicle Name	Green Carrera
Year	1986
Make	Porsche
Model	911 Carrera coupe
Color	Moss Green Metallic
Packages	factory installed short shift kit
History	Inherited from my brother in Sept 2010. He was third owner. He kept it in a locked storage unit with a blue '82 SC and used on alternating weekends. This car had been in Mass from 1986 to 2001, and then in Florida until 2010. The original owner kept good records and didn't skimp on servicing. I have the original order sheet as part of the notebook of records and receipts.

Suspension

New spring plates, and Elephant Racing stock style bushings. Suspension raised 30mm from the prior low Florida settings to deal with real world back roads with frost heaves. Still lower than American spec, but not what some would call Euro. Spring plates and bushings replaced.
