I am currently looking at the purchace of a 964 Turbo - first test drive was on Saturday and I was blown away ! I have been dreaming of ownership for about a year and now have funds to look with a view to buy.

Does anyone know of any good examples of this model currently for sale around the £20k to £24k mark? Is my buget realistic figure.

I am desperate for a good example !

Does the PCGB mag have a classified section ? If so is it worth joining ? Are many 964 turbos advertised?

HELP PLEASE - i only want too be one of you guy's with the turbo key on your hand
 
Hello Waiting4one, yes the PCGB does have an classified section and is well worth joining. Not sure what 965 model turbos are going for but you could try

Waiting4one,

I personally believe that your budget for a 964 3,3 turbo should be around the £30K mark (and around £40K for a turbo 3,6), in order to get a nice clean example. Specialist Cars of Malton have an immaculate Guards red 3,3 one for sale.

I have one which should be advertised in Porsche post next issue, out any day now. I'm not sure about selling it, but am thinking of going for the next one up, ie, 993 turbo, so am testing the water. Mine is a 1995 3.6 964 turbo (model number strictly speaking is 965) in midnight blue with grey leather. Beautiful car with awesome performance. Bought from Specialist Cars of Malton nearly 2.5 years ago, now has just over 39000 miles on clock. Before my time it has had Roock engine management upgrade, lowered suspension, and sports exhaust. I have it regularly serviced by Redline Racing (North East) Ltd, Teesside, who are brilliant. Must be one of the last made of that model. It is LHD, which is a downside for most people, but a preference for me. I would be looking for something in excess of say 31k. For a good RHD example as relatively new as mine, I think you should be expecting to pay over 35k. Hope that helps
Here's a pic of mine

You won't believe this but, I've just regested today on this forum and saw your post. I have a 1993 964 turbo 2 LHD. Midnight blue, grey leather 18" rims 40K miles on the clock with full Porsche service history, reason for sale is upgrading "hopefully" to a 993 or 996 turbo. Let me if your interested looking for £23995.

Cheers
 
Now that you've tried and liked the Turbo2, you should defiantly get one! Your budget price will easily get a very good LHD car. I've had a lefty now for over four years, and it only takes a couple of weeks to get really used to driving on the other side of the car "" and now it feels completely normal!

Good Hunting!

You should be fine using best fuel. Make sure your AFR's are good though after the upgrade because if you have any lean areas in the rev range at WOT you could melt your engine or at the least break up your rings.
 
No such thing as a stupid question bud.

Air/Fuel Ratio : it's critical to both engine performance and health, too much fuel to air and power is down but fuel consumption is up, too little fuel to air and combustion chamber temperatures/pressures can rise to such an extent that catastrophic damage can occur especially at high load/Wide Open Throttle settings. The easiest way to check your AFR over all operating parameters, without installing expensive on-board monitoring instrumentation, is by the use of an exhaust gas analyser on a rolling road.

This is my understanding of the terms anyway, if I'm talking 'keech' (a good Scottish term for poop!) feel free to correct me anyone [:)]

Agree, although personally I would rather have my own AFR setup that I can use time and time again. You can get one for under £300.
