Hello Todd & Sara
I got the front wheels yesterday, and they look good. Great shape. I really
appreaciate it, and I am sure that I will keep buying more parts from you, as
well as recommend my friends to buy from you.
Thank you and have a great day!

Hi Todd/Sara,
It was a pleasure to meet the both of you on our short trip to Ventura. I was
impressed with the size and other facilities that you had.
I saw you both in passing early morning at the German Auto Fest but didn't get
to say hello.
Thanks again and I look forward to hearing from you,

Try

price. They take a little while to ship, but the parts look

818-PORSCHE. Ask for Todd.

Does anyone know of or where I maybe able to obtain an ECU for my

My car was back firing and spitting out

Problem has been traced to the ECU (its not the wiring loom)
Part from Porsche about £1300 !!!
If anybody can point me in the direction
of a breakers, somebody with a spare one !?!
I would be most thankfull.
Why do things always happen at the wrong time, (moving house next

Try getting that part from a bone (salvage)yard.
Its mechanical so you should get a "reliable" piece. Try one
that specializes in Porsche wrecks, should be easy if you have the part
number. For a suggestion: try http://www.911pcar.com/

Hi
folks,
Though I don't have a 964 I am
interested in one that LA Porsche dismantlers has. I know it's
a salvage title and it probably needs a repaint. But they are
asking $27k for a 94 Speedster with a Tip. I am wondering if
any of you have dealt with them. Of course I need to trade or
sell my 944 Cab before getting another p-car. Thanks.

Yes,
I've dealt with Todd over there multiple times. Overall I was
satisfied with my experience but I'll give you the details:
I ordered a door and front fender
(used) from them. There were some delays in getting it. Todd
explained that UPS dropped the package and damaged it so he
sent me out another. My only disappointment was that I wanted
a white door and fedner. But he had no more white used ones,
so he sent black ones. The door was perfect (as described).
The fender was also perfect but they cut it off the car and I
didn't want to use it. So I used the door and it worked out
well. By the way, he did NOT charge me for the fender - so he
was very fair.
My second dealing with him was
somewhat similar. I ordered some exhaust components and a set
of billstein struts. He sent me the struts out immediately -
they were perfect, near new as promised. He forgot to send the
exhaust pieces and I called several times. He said he would
send it that day and I told him if I didn't receive by week's
end don't bother. I didn't receive the exhaust parts but he
never charged me for them either.
Bottom Line for me is he was honest
and delivered quality goods when he did. His prices are
excellent (unbeatable)! Over all I'm happy and I would buy
from him again.

Interior swap in CA ('95 993) |

Hi,
I just recently bought a '95 993, Blue paint on Tan/Saddle and
black interior. Not my desired Interior color but the car was
too well priced to pass up. Therefore I am considering an
interior swap with someone that perhaps want to brighten up
there's? I have the Black dash and dash pad, so it's the
seats, door panels, carpets, center console etc. I have a wood
grain shifter if someone wants it? I would swap to partial
black (i.e. seats and door panels etc.) or all black, or a
complete swap with grey (or is it gray in America?). My car
came with 23K miles and the passenger seat looks barely used
at all. Standard wear mark on the drivers seat (front corner
around control switches). Dual power front seats with the
Porsche crest in the headrest. It's a stock interior
otherwise. I would go as far as swapping carpets for the right
swap.
Let me know your interest.
Thanks,
Dylan.

I
was driving N. on PCH today going through
Huntington Beach when I see a smokey in my
rear-view...no problem since I wasn't
speeding...so I thought!!!
The cop pulls me over for
having the Euro tail lenses on my car and gives me
a fix-it ticket (he also got me for tinted front
windows...aaargh!!! Fortunately, he missed the
front license plate!) In any event, I was
wondering if any LA/OC Rennlisters could recommend
a dismatler in the area who may have a set of
standard issue tail lenses for a 993 C2.
My mechanic says this new
HB cop has been getting a lot of people for
"illegal modifications" so be careful if
you travel in or through HB.
Any help on finding
replacements lenses is greatly appreciated...the
dealer wants $120 each...ouch!
Thanks all,

A
couple of weeks ago I polled the board for
opinions on sport seats. Thanks to everyone who
replied.
Unfortunately I was not
adequately specific - I am interested in what
folks think of the so-called 'hard back' or 'hard
shell' sport seats, aka '373 Racing Style Sport
Driver's Seat' and '374 Racing Style Sport
Passenger's'
Thoughts on grip,
comfort, etc. would be welcome, esp. as compared
to stock non-sport seats.
I understand these do not
come with power fore/aft adjustment nor power seat
back angle adjustment, but do come with power
height adjustment (which means they should weigh
less). Is that correct? Thanks!

You may have to check back periodically because inventories

I
went through a fair amount of thought about how to make the back of
my '85 targa safe for my 5 and 7 year olds, turned out it wasn't
really that hard to do. I bought 2 rear-seat 3-point belts (out of a
964) from LAPorsche (good guys) and posted a WTB ad for the 964 rear
parcel shelf on Rennlist (the shelf comes with seatbelt roses) which
was promptly responded to by several people who had converted to
racers. Seat belts and shelf in hand, I had a local guy install
them. The belt retractors bolt right into the firewall with the
addition of steel plates to reinforce the sheet metal, the mounting
holes were already there in my '85 (apparently, Porsche started
delivering some of the ROW models with rear shoulder belts around
that time, so I guess that the mounting holes were included in all
models although the US didn't get the rear shoulder belts until '91
or '92; if anyone knows differently, please correct me), and the
shelf goes right in with no mods. About an hour and a half of labor,
most of the work being to modify the firewall sound mat to fit the
plates in. You can also buy the roses alone from Stoddard's ($6.75
each) and mount them in your existing shelf, but then, of course,
you are cutting holes in your original shelf; I chose to keep my
shelf original, and safely stored away for the day I might want to
go back to the stock configuration.
My
kids are totally psyched every time we get to go out now, and they
love the back seats because they are built to "kid" scale;
they feel very proprietary about that part of the car. And I get to
remember what it was like for me everytime I got to ride in my dad's
'73S as a kid. I'm sure that I am ruining them for life for any sort
of "average, normal" car; well, they can wait as long as I
did to get their own slice of mechanical heaven!

My
heart is in my throat today. I bought an '84
Carrera with 92K miles two weeks ago which was
described to me by the dealer as original, w/ no
accidents. Yesterday I had it serviced to
discover: 1) the valve guides are completely
gone (approx $3000) and 2) it had been wrecked..
badly. I first noticed a gas smell, then the
rotors felt out of round on braking, even though
the dealer claimed they were brand new. Turns
out it was hit so hard the tank was cracked and
the left front suspension is unable to be
adjusted straight. The left front tire is
scalloping badly and is being cut by the fender
lip because it's too far forward in the wheel
well. !!!! I have no idea how much this would
cost to "fix" or if it's even fixable.
Sounds like at least another $3K to me. I paid
$20K for this car and I'm just sick because it
seems it's worth at least $5K less than that. I
have yet to speak with the dealer, but I will
today soon. I'd like to know if anyone has any
advice, legal or tactical, besides making sure I
get my next car checked out before buying it.
ugh.

I
don't know about recourse, but be sure your car
is worth more than $5K. Check out www.laporsche.com,
parts cars are not $20K, but also not $5K. I
would be surprised if there are not a few
smaller things you can do to correct your
problems. Quotes from a good bodyshop will give
you a good idea of what you really need done.
Rotors
and the gas tank are really easy to fix, front
rotors take about two hours to replace and cost
in the range of $75 each, and a gas tank once
empty should be about the same amount of time
and should be available from a local version of
laporsche or Partsheaven (both here in CA).
The
bent front end, could be as simple as an A-arm,
about $200 and three hours work, plus you can
convert to nylon bushings, if the impact has
gone into the cars structure, now is a great
time to consider getting it fixed and adding
camber boxes and camber plates.
So
you see...I see this as an opportunity to
upgrade the things you will wnat to do in the
future anyways...
hope
it all works out for you...one final suggestion
get the Carrera Service manual for Porsche by
Robert Bentley at http://www.books4cars.com/
for $100, the best $100 you'll ever spend.

Thanks again for the preferential treatment last Saturday. As it

I buy a lot of late model parts from LA Porsche--prices are great, and if
they don't have it, they can locate it. Their Inventory turns often...they
just had a 993 tt and a Turbo 3.6 as well as many 993 and 964 models.

Ask for Todd 818-PORSCHE (767-7243) or 818-768-8880 E-MAIL:
No affiliation...just a satisfied customer.

A
small glimpse of the LA Porsche yard where the cars are stored,
we also have an several indoor facilities where the parts are
kept.
