911T Owners Help Please

[CamBiscuit]

I have a favour to ask you T owners....

I'd greatly appreciate it if any of you with original cars could take some photos of your lhs engine bay and the front battery position(s) and post them in reply.

Thanks a lot

I believe mine is fairly original.
This is the only photo I have of the engine bay that may be suitable - If no others appear I'll take one specifically of the LHS of the engine bay and also of the battery compartments when able ( within a few days) and post them for you

Regards

Thanks Peter,

Much appreciated.

after seeing Peter's immaculate engine bay, i'm way too embarrassed to take a photo of mine !!! Great pic Peter !

My tangerine is heavily modified also, so wouldn't be of assistance. But here's one of my conda 70T ... before any cleaning ...

Now Peter, that’s simply showing off . Few of us could aspire to having an engine bay that looks like that - and if I did I think I’d be too afraid to drive the car for fear of messing it up.

How have you treated your fan and housing? Mine looked like that for about 5 minutes after I had it polished and clear coated.

[MrUpwey]

Paul
You're right - it is showing off.
The fan and housing was cleaned and powder coated clear.
The previous photo was taken not long after it was done about 2-3 years ago.
This photo is current, and as you can see there is a degree of staining coming through from under the clear coat- it appears that this is unavoidable.
Once the engine is detailed like this it tends to retain its looks with very little effort - although I only drive the car occassionally.

I feel a engine bay photo post off coming along!!!!

"engine bay photo post off"

mine might not be clean - but its full of goodies, including:

2 coils
3 CDI boxes
12 plug leads
etc...

I want mine full of 3.8 Varioram.

[Terminator]

OK heres my previous entry in the competition.

Will take some pics of the 71T and post them also but they look just like Peters actually just not as detailed.

[e72phil]

yes Clyde, your fan belt has scratch marks on it.

Shame on you.

[CamBiscuit]

Peter & Clyde...Wow :shock:

Pgxif don't worry yours looks more like mine!

Your help is appreciated folks, keep 'em coming, particularly the lhs shots where the CDI etc bolts to the side and of course any battery shots.

Thank you again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you wonderful 901 community

[OBRUT]

lucky you sold that car when you did clyde - you have the wrong smerkle bracket (its on the left near the quork injector)

[Terminator]

Yes Porsce Cars told me that also. I was looking for the part at allporshepartsaremissingorbadlynamed.com but they didn't have any NOS smerkle brackets available.

See if you can see it in this pic

Cameron,

I will take the shots of the front tomorrow as I have the T in bits for some painting prior to going to the new owner (he is paying for the painting).

Remember however this car is USA spec so has a charcoal canister in the front area as well.

Do you want some pics with the plastic cover removed from the CDI area?
