It was determined that the general shape of the new 964 would retain the essential character of the 911, obtaining near zero lift in the front and rear without the aid of the whale tail or other additions that would break the classic lines of the 911 the whale tail, whilst performing its function extremely well, was largely criticised in it's time for its excessively obvious lines . This was essentially obtained via the use of a fully covered floor pan, and an electrically operated rear wing...
The longlive 901 engine
Th e Type 901 flat-six engine was as legendary as the car itself. Think about it, although a lot of progress had been made during those years, the basic structure was never altered. For 34 years it remained to be air-cooled and, most important, the basic dimensions governed by the distance between bore centres remained unchanged. It sounds rather unbelievable, especially knowing the differences between the earliest and the latest engines - 2 litres versus 3.8 litres 130 hp versus 450 hp - I...
Rear Blower Motor Replacement
Sooner or later you are going to have to replace the blower motor that is located in the right side of the engine compartment. One day you will start the car and think that have a cat caught in your fan because of the noise. Don't despair, this is an easier and cheaper fix than you might think at first. Porsche has discontinued the original blower motor for the 964's and they have replaced it with the 993 version 993-624-328-01 . This is the exact same fan and for the 115 you pay Pelican Parts...

Wheels are always the most obvious way to aesthetically change the look of a car. Indeed, the original 16 wheels, whilst providing excellent handling and ride, do not necessarily portray an image of aggression usually associated with super cars. As a result, owners of 964's usually upsize their wheels to either 17 or 18 rims. Note that both diameter rims can fit the 964 with no problems. Indeed, all one has to be careful of is to ensure offset is correctly achieved with spacers, and clearance...

For a seasoned 911 driver, entering the cabin of the 964 would not present any significant surprises. The dash board remained largely unchanged, with the exception being in the details. The instrumentation for the first time included a large array of warning systems pertaining to all areas of the vehicle automatic wing malfunction, fan belt, brakes, ABS failure etc- a total of 13 warning lights which were all located on the rev counter and clock as opposed to the Carrera 3.2, where the brake...

Given that the 911 body shell and floor plan design had essentially been maintained for the better part of a quarter of a century, serious re-engineering of the platform would be required in order to accomodate an all new four wheel drive mechanism. As a result, the 964 was essentially 87 new when compared to its predecessor, the Carrera 3.2. This was hard to believe given that the 964 shared the same familiar shape as the 3.2, and general body changes were minimal. However, as was so often the...
