There is early surface rust on brackets, fasteners and seams underneath, but nothing structural. For a salt-belt car, what treatment slows it down without creating a hard coating that traps moisture?
2017 Porsche 911 Carrera S, about 37,000 miles. Mocking up an engine/transmission in a chassis with very tight steering and footwell clearance. I can offset it slightly, but I don't want to create dr…
This started as a small annoyance and I finally decided to track it down. After a hot stop-and-go commute the clutch engagement point felt different, but it returned to normal later. No slipping at f…
2017 Porsche 911 Carrera S, about 93,500 miles. Most roads are plowed quickly, but there are cold wet days, slush and a handful of serious storms. For a daily driver, where is the line where dedicate…
I do not want to judge a tune only by how fast the car feels. Which parameters are worth logging periodically if the goal is catching fuel, knock, boost or temperature problems early? Mostly looking…
Mocking up an engine/transmission in a chassis with very tight steering and footwell clearance. I can offset it slightly, but I don't want to create driveline vibration. What measurements should be l…
2017 Porsche 911 Carrera S, about 115,000 miles. The car has crossed 100k and still drives well. I want to stay ahead of age-related failures instead of waiting for roadside problems. What systems st…
Shocks were replaced and there are no obvious loose parts, but the rear still feels vague over highway undulations. What alignment, bushing, tire or installation issues could mimic worn dampers? Inte…
2017 Porsche 911 Carrera S, about 54,000 miles. Fluid looks clear in the reservoir but has been in the car for several years.
This newest recall looks like another case where a software/electronics fault affects a basic driving function. I like modern features, but it does make me wonder whether too many systems now depend…
2017 Porsche 911 Carrera S, about 78,000 miles. Car is smooth around town, but on the highway I get a vibration in the steering wheel and seat between about 62 and 70 mph. Above that it actually gets…
2017 Porsche 911 Carrera S, about 132,500 miles. I usually change cars every three years and do not drive huge mileage. I am comparing total cost rather than just payment. What assumptions make leasi…
A cylinder-specific misfire code appeared after one rough start, then cleared and the engine feels normal. Plugs are not very old. Would you swap coils, inspect plugs, look at injector data, or wait…
Fluid looks clear in the reservoir but has been in the car for several years. Would you change based on time/moisture rather than appearance?
Front tires look fine from the outside but the inner shoulders are nearly done. Car is lowered a little. I'd rather fix the alignment than just keep buying tires—what measurements should I ask the sh…
The car stays dry in normal rain but after a long storm one front footwell gets damp. Door seal looks okay. What drain/seam tests would you do before tearing the interior apart?
1987 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2, about 254,000 miles. After repeated pulls the car softens as intake temperatures rise. Would you prioritize cooling before increasing boost, even if the current setup is…
This started as a small annoyance and I finally decided to track it down. 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2, about 259,500 miles. After owning the car for a while, tires, insurance and service pricing mat…

I found a running car with cosmetic damage and deferred maintenance at a low price. Before treating it as a flip, how do you budget hidden repairs, title/registration, taxes, transport and selling ti…
