imgur.comDamn, first of all.. Congrats on your 964! Your build is coming along nicely. The clutch on my g-series 911 makes a squeaking sound when pressing down on it. Any idea if oiling the spring will stop that noise?

Thanks. I haven't a clue, mine has a small squeak as well. Nothing that can be heard while the car is running though, so I'm not concerned.

Have the same series (well, a '77 model anyway) - buy a pedal cluster rebuild kit from Pelican Parts, disassemble, clean, rebuild. Then you know it's done and like new. Not expensive or hard to do.
Squeaks could come from lots of places - bushings, washers, spring, rubber pad ...

Excellent suggestion! Thank you, I've added this to my project list.

Love the car, I am also a 964 Ontario owner. Was wondering where you got your cup 1 rims?
2
They are Gemballa wheels actually. I found them for sale on Rennlist.

Thanks.

Hey nice 964. Thanks for sharing.
What's next for it?
Also curious about the lift system. Is it similar to what the factory installed options on new 911's would be or does it work differently?
2
Next up is interior work. The front seats are a bit beat and sun bleached.
I'm not sure what the factory options look like, so I'm not sure if I'm even using the same technology. I wouldn't be surprised if it's similar.

Looks like the GT3 only gets a 1.1" lift so sounds like it's a different systems. Looks like yours would be a lot more functional.
Keep us updated on the progress.

So incredibly clean. Well done!

I'm incredibly jealous, that thing is beautiful.

Are you in KW? Those two parking lots look familiar.
Gorgeous car!
1
Yes, I am in Kitchener. Thanks!

Nice, me too! Maybe I'll see you around sometime

Staples and Manulife parking lot

That's what I thought! I have some pictures of my old Genesis in that Manulife lot.

Beautiful 964!

wow, that is nice.

Waterloo!

Gorgeous, would you ever convert to LED or HID headlamp or do you prefer the original?
1
I would consider projectors, but I prefer fluted lenses
1
Lovely example. Nice work!
1
small changes makes this car even more amazing. congrats.

Dude, I has a 89 just like this one... Guards Red.. Awesome ride.. your project is a worthy example of what a this 27 year beast can look like if properly cared for.
1
Nice! Just curious, was that by chance you running around Uptown Waterloo earlier today?
1
I sure was
1
I'm moving to Hamilton this fall and am curious if you do all of the work on the car yourself. If not, where do you get it done?
1
I've been doing all the work myself so far, apart from the body work and paint. I'll be doing a brake fluid flush at a local shop soon, it's a bit more involved since it needs a Bosch Hammer to unlock the front diff for a proper flush.
2
Where did you get the paint and body work done? If you don't mind sharing, I'd love to know how much a complete pain job like yours costs. It looks incredible.
1
Paint and bodywork was done at Smart Automotive in Milton. Expect to pay between $4-6000 for a window-out respray.
2
These guys looks great. Thank you!

I hope you only have super smooth roads, because that car needs to roll at 4mph over anything bigger than a small stone. :(
Having had a slammed 911 race car, I now accept that a high ride height is the single most important aspect of a car's setup for comfortable driving. Plus, it keeps the bodywork off the ground, and saves large repair bills.
You absolutely DO NOT need to slam a car like this, and it does not enhance the performance of the vehicle in any way, for 99.98% of your driving.
Sure, it looks cool - but unless you are an idiot, you'll be lifting it back up in less than a year.

You do realize that the car is barely lower than RS spec don't you? The car hasn't bottomed out on a single thing.
No need to be a stodgy old man about it.

Did you skip the air lift part?
12
Just looks wise it's still too low for my taste.

At least it's not "stances out" lol. I drove past a civic the other day that was having troubles with a tiny speed bump. He was missing paint from his rear fenders from the cambered rear wheels hitting the fender.

This is ridiculous. Lowering my 964 was one of the best improvements I made. If done right, it won't affect ride quality that much. If you have a crunchy back, maybe a sports car isn't for you

Great car! Nice to see you working on it yourself. I'm glad you ditched the 993 wheels, the Gemballas look way better.
