RUNNING REPORT

 

BACKGROUND:

This section aims to describe my personal experiences and costs associated with running a 964. The information will be of interest to anyone contemplating ownership of a 964, or anyone with a 964 possessing mechanical problems similar to what I have experienced. 

The writing is done more as a journal/diary, and is not intended for the faint hearted- this will prove that owning a Porsche can be slightly damaging on the finances to say the least (but what can one expect from a car that has just celebrated it's 10th birthday).

Note that there is limited technical jargon used as I myself am not mechanically minded. As such, I apologise for the excessive usage of "lay-mans" terms (I only know what my trusty mechanics tell me, and they often have to simplify the terminology for me).

Modifications will also usually be described in these pages first, then over time be transferred to the [Modifications] section of the website as time permits. As such, regular readers may find this area to be the most interesting as this will be where updates will be most regularly made. Note that all costs are mentioned in Singapore Dollars (SGD), and an approximate exchange rate for those interested is 1USD = 1.83SGD.
