After my previous posts (selling 993, offered on 3.2 which turned out to be an Insurance Total Loss) I finally picked up a 3.2 at the weekend.
Guards red, linen (cream) leather, totally original, low mileage and FSH. Drives like it left the factory last week.
This is the first 3.2 I have ever driven! And wow, really fantastic. Against the 993 Carrera S it can hold it's head incredibly highly, with only lack of air conditioning (which would have been very useful this weekend) and a noticiable lack of surge at the top end of the rev range against my re-mapped 300 bhp 993 (having said that, still gets a really good move on).
On paper it appers like a significant trade down (twice as old, half the value, not as fast, less equipment and so on) but in reality there is nothing in it. The build quality feels just as good with some things, like the indicator stalks action seeming even higher quality. Sound is wonderful, steering feel amazing.
It is a measure of how good they are as standard that my list of things to do to it consists of next to nothing, get Wayne Schofield of Chip Wizards to do a live re-map, get Chris Franklyn of Centre Gravity to do a full geometry and corner weight set up, touch up some very minor paint issues on one sill (not visible but came out in the PPI) and have the black centres of the Fuchs wheels colour coded to match the Guards Red paintwork.
I like my cars more or loss original but are there any other things that experienced owners would highly recommend as either minor enhancements or absolute must do's?
Cheers
