We love 993s. While they’re fantastic cars, they become a completely different experience dynamically when they’re properly sorted. Often, and not always by intention, owners add very few miles over the years. Items like ten-year-old tires and aging suspension bushings make a big difference when replaced! As these cars approach nearly three decades old, they all benefit from a proper major service — which was exactly our approach while preserving this car’s originality. Upon arrival at our facility, we inspected the car in its entirety and performed a leakdown test, which showed excellent results — 2-3 % across all cylinders.
We performed a light engine reseal, fitting new valve cover gaskets, timing cover gaskets, associated hardware. The suspension was refreshed with Koni Active Dampeners. New Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires mounted, OEM headlight lenses fitted, alternator and battery replaced, a PCCM+ radio fitted, ( not pictured) brake calipers refreshed, a multi-stage paint correction and ceramic coating, along with a host of other odds and ends.
Aesthetically, we opted for M033 ride height, along with a Porsche 996 3 Spoke 40th Anniv ( silver crest) steering wheel- both a visual and aesthetic improvement over the stock wheel. The in short, this 993 was dialed in as if it were my own.
The sale will include two original key’s, all owner’s manuals and sales literature, the original steering wheel, original CDR-210 stereo, and service records from our care.
