Now a proud new owner of a 964 Carrera 2 Coupe in Granite Grey. 132K with a full engine rebuild at 120K at Hartech. New flywhell at 93K.
Initial thoughts:
Far more refined than I expected, not that much more noisey than the 944S2 but noticeably faster.
Other stuff:
I find the gearbox gate very narrow and struggled to find 1st and could not find reverse at all. I now realise, from the manual, that you need to depress the clutch for a few seconds to get reverse and now goes in fairly easily.
I will need to get used to the gearbox more I suppose, let the box do the work instead of trying to force the stick into a slot which isn't there. When I get it right (which is mostly) slots in nicely. Funnily enough, I had no problems at all with gear selection on the test drive.
The right hand indicator does not work. The hazard flashers come on and all indicators flash when I set the alarm. Checked the fuses, but obviously no problems as the lights work. Could not find the relay, but I would be surprised if there were separate relays for right and left. So, I guess its the column switch at fault, which sounds expensive, unless it is just a loose connection. Has this happened to anyone else?
I was trying to get a spare alarm plipper, Reading OPC offered me an alarm upgrade which includes a new motherboard and 2 new plippers for £261 fitted. Does anyone know if this is a worthwhile upgrade?
I still can not get a piccy to appear under my name, which is infuriating[>:][>:][

Hopefully this one has come out, it was the dealer's publicity shot!
