My car is a 1986 3.2 Carrera Targa. With 56,000 miles.
It was previously owned by an American,who used to go back to the USA on a regular basis,
hence the low mileage,there are only 6 MOT's for the car, as it was garaged while he was back in the States.
I have a FULL service history with the car.
I spent over 2 years looking for the right car, and I've found it.
It's exactly the Spec. I wanted.

The car is Finished in Iris Blue metallic Paint, with Dark Blue Leather Pin Stripe Upholstery,
16'' Fuch Alloy Wheels, 6'' Front & 7'' Rears.

To Date I Have Replaced:

Spark Plugs have been changed to Bosch Super 4,
A Genuine Porsche Air Filter,

Hi Hu,
nice to see you here, and your cracking Targa - seen it in the flesh several times and tried to catch it blasting across the Welsh mountain passes.... She goes really well.
In fact, here is a shot I caught of the old girl at a recent Porsche RS anniversary bash.



And here too!



Welcome old chap

Dirty Fuchs (AKA Kev - Jammo) etc etc etc.

iechyd da, bach.

Welcome Hu.

Nice old girl you have there.  Nice find too to get one in such good condition and low mileage.

Your mods make sense too.

What are your plans?  Keep it most OEM or mod her a little more in the power department.

Mod her a bit in the power department Pete???????

You wanna try catching the thing

Regards (and blown off)

Apart from what I've already done, no nothing.

Probably have more luck finding some rocking horse poo!!!!

Maybe he's just a better a driver than us 

I've added a few bits to the 'old girl', thought you guys might like to have a look.
I bought a cheap strut brace off E-bay,(£29) just to see if it made any difference for road use,
I have to say, it seems to have made the front more positive in fast corners.
I've also fitted the turbo Tie Rod conversion, so this may have helped that as well. 



I have fitted the 9'' wheels to the rear, and put the 7'' on the front, looks MUCH better.






I have fitted a Sparco suede steering wheel, and an Alloy gear Knob, nice feel these give. 

She sits reall well Hu.  The wheels and ride height really make her look planted.  Nice work!

Hi Hu.  Here's your video from www.p101tv.com

Hows the 911 these days Hu.  What have you done to her lately!
