General Information

Vehicle Name	My87911
Year	1987
Make	Porsche
Model	911 Carrera Cabriolet
Color	Red/Black top
History	Updated 6/9/15- I have owned her since 2005 and I believe I am the third owner. She has around 88k miles and is in pretty good condition. I personally replaced the interior carpet with OEM carpeting, piece by back aching piece! Had the seats recovered and installed a new Momo wheel and shift knob. Fixed and replaced all kinds of little things and big things, like an all new top! This spring I had Automotive Techniques in Novi, Michigan pull the engine and trans... they replaced the clutch, update fork, valve lash, clean up the engine bay, removed AC hardware, installed cat-bypass, and plenty more basic maintenance things!

Interior

I am an audiophile, so I could not help myself but to completely replace and upgrade the sound system including amp, crossovers, sub, and head unit. When cruising above 50mph, its nice to have tunes, below that and around town, the wonderful sound of the 3.2 is music to the ears!

Performance Upgrades

June 2011- Nothing yet, all stock. I truly enjoy my 911 and wanted to keep everything stock for the first few years. however, I am itching to do a few things, like a chip, cat bypass, and maybe more?

Update 6/9/15- I had all the AC hardware removed and installed a cat-bypass.

Engine / Under the Hood

Update 6/9/15- I had the engine bay cleaned up while the motor was out, and had all the AC hardware removed. I have a before and after pic for your viewing pleasure.

Suspension

June 2011- While up on jacks for annual love (oil change, inspection, etc) I noticed all my CV boots torn and the passenger side sway bar bracket broken! So, I am replacing all the boots and all the rear sway bar bushings, including Buckley Racing rear sway bar mounts (weld in).
