Fairmile Porsche meeting Cobham, June 2024. 911virgin, 991 Speedster, 987 Spyder, walk around.
A video we made at the Fairmile Cobham Porsche meeting June 2024. Organized by 911UK we took a couple of our 911virgin stock cars. A rare 991 Speedster and a lovely 987 Boxster Spyder.
As well as talking about those two cars we had a walk around looking at some cars which took our fancy.

    Beautiful car! I owned a 1986 944 Turbo (951) for many years and whish I still had it. I must caution you, however, to never slam the hood (bonnet) or the rear glass hatch. The rear glass is famous for delaminating near the hinges at the top of the glass. Just bring it down slowly and then gently push it shut, as you would with a 911 bonnet. And please don't tell me you slam 911 bonnets closed to!

      Sorry, 951 was the internal Porsche name for the 944 Turbo and Turbo S. I had the Porsche complete technical manual for my car, which was a 1986 first year Turbo. It was referred to as the 951 throughout the manual. I sold the manual with the car, or I could prove it to you. The Turbo S was a much improved car, but they didn't make near as many as the regular 951. I knew the car inside out, having rebuilt the engine myself in my garage. The engine part numbers all started with "951."

      As you are obviously well educated and cultured - hence the Porsche appreciation allow us to complete your transition. I think you are referencing the front wing of the car when you say "fender". A Fender is a cylindrical device used to cushion boats when coming alongside the dock or rafting off against another craft. Your fellow Americans will hold you in high esteem if you call a fender a wing, a hood a bonnet and a trunk a boot. Oh, and these things run on petrol. Gas is a gas not a liquid. I am of course joking with you so please don't be offended. 2 great nations divided by a common language.... 🙂

    With regard to the handbrake,. Porsche have always got things arse about face, they did the same when they introduced the PDK gearboxes, pull to change down, push to change up. While all of their customers were lusting for the proper logical systems that they could get in the 360 F1 and the BMW E60 M5,. Porsche said that their customers prefered it this way!. That's Porsche arogance for you!. It took Porsche a couple of years but eventually they bowed to customer pressure.

    This particular model the 911.1 gt3 had finger follower issues after the engine fire issue. This is the reason why porsche granted the car a 10 year warranty which is not mentioned in the video. Porsche made many new engines models under this warranty but the finger follower issue kept coming back. Users on the rennlist forum, which is where the issue have also been documented by many owners of the car, discussed a design flaw with the hydraulic lifter system of the car. This is why for the 991.2 gt3, porsche switched to solid lifters to avoid another finger follower issue and warranty extension, as well as a lawsuit.

    • @911virgin8
      @911virgin8 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There has certainly been plenty of discussion surrounding the engines. It's actually the longest guarantee ever issued on a car engine I believe and owners can maintain a warranty beyond the 10 year point using the Porsche warranty scheme. My understanding is that a lot of problems stem from engines regularly going into the very upper limits of the rev range. This particular car benefited from an engine replaced under warranty with the later generation of replacements.

    The year I turned 50, coincided with the same year I was promoted to Navy Captain. I had always admired the 944….a friend of mine in one of my commands, had a red 944Turbo….I was driving a Mazda RX7. Fast forward, I turned 50….and found a pristine Baltic Blue 944S2 Cabriolet. Fast forward to today? I’m retired from the Navy, and retired from federal law enforcement. The kids are gone, a couple dogs gone, the world is almost unrecognizable from that of the early 1990s. I still have the 944. She is stored 5-6 months of the year, has just a hair over 60k on the clock….I keep up her service…and still love dri ping her. And when out on a trip, it gets compliments from all age groups: older people reminiscing….younger folks questioning. Great video, brother. Thank you!

      Great story. Still a good car and very much a product of it's era. We used to sell loads of them. At the time in the UK we had a car from Ford called the Sierra Saphire Cosworth which was all but impossible to insure due to theft problems. We used to take the Sierra Saphire Cosworth in p/x at £3,500 and sell the 944 S2 for £15,000.

    I great review and a fair appraisal. I own a 1990 944 coupe S2 myself, I would agree the car does need to be driven harder, its quite a lazy engine at low speeds and it seems to come alive when over 4000rpm; the engine takes on a much more aggressive character which the video doesn't convey. Its one of those cars that also feels very different when its fully warmed up to when its cold. The build quality is very high and the sound the doors make when you open them and close them is a thing of beauty. I've had mine 11 years now, I was lucky I found a low mileage example that had been well cared for and I've spent a lot on her too. They seem to be getting more love now that people have recognized that they are great cars in their own right. I think its a great design and still looks good today!

      People wanting to re-live their youth are now coming to an age where they can buy them as a second car. This drives up interest.

    What happens if you eat Häagen-Dazs ice cream whilst mashing the accelerator in Sport Plus mode?

    Brilliant video - love the 996 Cup’s, but it’s a rare thing to find a video showing the car, never mind taking the time to run through all of the details and explaining the reasoning behind the modifications. Thanks 👍🏻
