ECU is indeed under the passenger seat and I'd not worry about driving it a short distance, there is only a small stain underneath and they do contain a LOT of oil! Check simple/cheap stuff first like rotor arm and distributor cap, I doubt it is the ECU but you never know, Beaky (on here) had an ECU for sale a while ago, I'm sure others would lend you one long enough to test it out. Good luck. Chris.

I own both! I agree with the above. If you want a stiff, well handling car stick to a coupe. If you want a more relaxed wind in the hair drive, get a targa. There are some minor things you can do to stiffen the chassis and firm up the suspension but you'll get more noticeable scuttle shake. Best chassis mod is to leave the roof in place! Both are great cars, but quite different.

Peter, great work as always but please replace that rusty jubilee clip on the heater hose near the WBO2 sensor and get something on the rusty oil line coming out of the tank.... I'm deeply offended.... 😂 Happy new year, break the ice on the Solent before you can go out sailing?

Cheers Ivan! 🍻 I also have 8s on the front and have no problem steering, even with a smaller diameter steering wheel than standard. You get used to doing all the steering with the car rolling when possible, and let's remind ourselves, ALL cars were like this before power steering became commonplace on everyday cars.

I have a foam only version, a fraction of the weight of the original and a modest amount of sound deadening. A good compromise?

First 2025 IB Midlands Meet - Sat Feb 1st 7pm Avon Dassett
Chris T replied to World Citizen's topic in IB Meets and UK Events
Chris T hasn't yet said yes. I would like to come but I may be busy with work. I think Chris 911 was a yes though. -
Alan, I’m glad it’s sorted but don’t bin your old air flow meter, they are repairable. The carbon track can be cleaned with switch cleaner and the ‘wiper’ can be fractionally moved to wipe a slightly different part of the track. Either way, hang on to it as a spare!

Get royal steering wheels to cover in blue and dye horn pad to match?

Yes, I know that however in my case the car was 1st registered in late September and the MOT was due in very early September and I wanted to continue to drive it, for those few weeks, hence it's last ever MOT.... Car tucked away on a SORN until a tax-free 2nd April now anyway.

I believe Bob is correct, my ‘82 is registered as classic but my ‘84 first registered in September 84 will become tax exempt in April 2025 ie. April 1st year AFTER car turns 40 from 1st registration date. I also believe it becomes MOT exempt at the same time but my current MOT runs out in September ‘25 so no issue for me. Unlucky then if your 1st registration was 2nd April!!

Russ is the best, I'm glad you were able to hook up and sorry it isn't the simple thing we had all hoped for. Better to know than not know. Chris.

Well, how did it go?
-
Oops! Missed the "Normandy" bit!

As Phil says, it's mostly about the body and rust in it. Quite a few cars come up for sale soon after the owner discovers the cost of fixing all that hidden rust! Get a potential car inspected by somebody familiar with old 911s Where about are you? Chris.

If it's leads you are after, check Northy's post, he has a Clewitt set for sale....
