Hello all,
I'm a new member from the San Francisco Bay Area - Corte Madera, CA. I'm the second owner of my '92 968 Guards red cabriolet that I've had since 2001. Fantastic car, I love it.
Had a crack develop in the firewall a few years ago, which lead to the clutch becoming increasingly difficult to engage. When pushing the clutch, the firewall crack would bend a bit requiring a bit more force to push the clutch further to get it to engage full. S-Car-Go in San Rafael welded it all back up and made it considerably stronger than original so I won't be having that issue again. Great shop if anyone in Marin is looking for a good place. No other issues really aside from just standard maintenance stuff. I have a couple things on the "to do" list this year for the car:
1. I need to get a new top and window put in. I didn't know about this forum, and was searching for a 'how to' on how to replace the top yourself. I'm hopeful someone has done this and posted an article so I can get some guidance on what I'm getting in to. I haven't been able to find much on the web. Once my account here is activated fully I'll take a look, but in the meantime if anyone has some direction on this it would be greatly appreciated!
2. Suspension is pretty tired. Not surprising given that it still all original and now 23 years old! So she tends to lean a bit (a lot??!) when going hard in to a corner. Considering going with the M030. Sounds like it has a good balance of being a good ride for day trips, but also solid for good performance on track days and/or autocross. I haven't done auto cross in quite a few years, but I do expect to do a couple year and probably get up to Infineon a couple days a year. Open to input on this as well!
Lastly, I'm happy to become part of this community that appreciates these fine machines!
Best,
Bren
