Thanks all for the inputs thus far.

I had to do a little digging to understand the references to '911r' on BaT, but I've got that now. Hadn't looked at anything on BaT since its earliest days;...

Time to sell my 911SC. Where do I even begin...?

After 22ish years of ownership, the time has (sadly) finally come to sell my 1980 911SC, and I'm frankly a bit overwhelmed with trying to figure out the best way to do that. I have no real clue...

My little set of "dental" pick-type tools, with a straight one, and a 90 degree bent one, and a curved one. LOTS of times that those have come in handy when absolutely nothing else will do. Very...

"Clear up"? "Stop raining"? What are these strange words you speak? This is Portland. It's March.

It only seems to make noise when there's up/down motion in the front, so I can rule out wheel...

Yeah, I had a friend whose 911 had a noisy hood like that, so I checked for that yesterday. It's definitely not the hood, and this is much louder than what I think the hood could produce.

I've always autocrossed on street tires, both with my SC and other cars. I have the Dunlop SP8000s on my car, and I usually go with 35 front, 40 rear, or perhaps a few pounds lower on both ends. ...

Suddenly squeaky SC front end

My '80 SC, which has been a fairly quiet car, suddenly started squeaking in the front end two days ago. From inside the cabin, one would think that the squeaking is emanating from somewhere under...

Assuming that we're properly talking about removing the oil pressure switch, behind the air box, and not the sender, I've done this twice on my '80 SC without dropping the engine.

I did my first engine drop (with tranny attached) last fall, and I certainly wouldn't want to try to do it in a weekend. Maybe I'm just overly inquisitive, but I took my time during the...

I just replaced the battery in my '80 SC this weekend. It is indeed supposed to be an 88 AH battery. My research shows that the correct group number is 49, although a group 93 is the same...

I'm another A4 1.8T owner ('97). Although I'll admit that Subaru has started to produce some genuinely fun cars, I've always had a bias against them for some reason. I think it's something about...

I'd try to find an SCCA autocross instead. Our local PCA events here in Oregon are kind of lame, although fairly well-attended. The average driver talent level is definitely higher at the SCCA...
