1986 Porsche 911 on 2040-cars

Vanilla Sundae, Everyday
What if your Sunday driver could be your daily driver; Porsche Everyday? What if Porsche made a GT3 in 1986? This
is the car!
The car is a very rare color that was special order only in 86’. The paint is all original. The wheels are the
original as well and have been recently refinished. The car has fresh Bridgeston RE-71 Tires, these are the best
performers in dry/wet tires for the 16” wheels. The cars suspension has been replaced for a proper ride and
safety.
Bilstein Sport shocks in the rear and comfort in front gives the best balance between road feel that is not too
firm or too soft. Instead of just repairing the CV joints I had the axles replaced. Lowered to European Ride
Height, with a alignment setup for performance driving, and corner balanced for a drivers weight of 185 pounds. The
stance is further refined with the addition of rear wheel spacers. The wheel bearings were also replaced.
The OEM brakes lacked the stopping power I was accustomed to from driving modern GT3’s. Rather then just upgrade
to 930 brakes, I wanted to take it a step further and got a big brake kit with some custom fabrication done to fit
the factory wheels. The rotors are much larger then factory as well. Steel brake lines have been added with PFC
pads and the best possible brake fluid Castrol SRF.
The exhaust system has been completely replaced with new pipes and gaskets. Starting with Euro George’s headers
(known for making the most power), Cat Delete Straight pipes, and M&K GT3 Style Center Exhaust (2in 2 out). With
this setup you’d be surprised at just how good the car sounds; zero drone, and not too loud at full throttle. I
have to mention with the addition of the headers the car currently does not have heat. Heater components will be
included in the sale. Also to add to performance and maximize gains from the exhaust system the car has a custom
performance chip done by Steve Wong from 911chips. The spark plugs were just replaced along with new wires and
distributor cap.
Being a Florida Car (from 86 to now) I had the air conditioning system upgraded and it will keep you cool up to 90
degrees! Worn hoses were replaced, a “pro cooler” was added, a new compressor, and the system runs on a R12
substitute. A Keuhl air vent was also added for a little more flow.
The most crucial connection between man and car is in the cabin; the steering wheel and shifter. The steering wheel
has been replaced with a Momo Prototipo wheel. It isn’t just a visual improvement, but a performance enhancement.
The leather embossed Porsche Crest horn button completes the look. The factory shifter was vague and uninspiring. I
had that replaced with a Rennshift kit. It gives the shifter a much more modern defined feel. There is no searching
for gears. Its a positive feel when engaging gears. All of the bushings have been replaced, the coupling, engine &
transmission mounts, and the gearbox oil as well. This is the best 915 you will come across. I have driven G50’s
that don't feel as good!
Custom Door light weight door panels wrapped in leather and stitched too look factory really add to the experience
of the car. The door pulls are leather straps that gives you the feeling you are stepping out of something really
special, which you are. Other weight savings include, rear seatback delete, heat delete, Recaro seats, and lighter
exhaust system.
Two sets of keys, original spare, and manual are also included. In addition the car is hard wired for a valentine
one radar detector. A cup holder has been added as well.
The cars performance is excellent. Between the handling, braking, acceleration, it has it all to go with the looks.
