10/29/07 I just moved from Vermont
to Maine and I'm looking for a shop in the Portland area to
service my 1995 968. The car is a dedicated PCA Club Racing
vehicle (F Stock) and so I'm hoping to find a shop that's into
racing. Any help is appreciated.

I would like to post kudos to one of our advertisers. I just
drove my car to Laredo TX from Bangor. Before leaving I went
to William Briggs in Lincolnville. He is superb and I would
advise anyone in central or northern Maine who needs Porsche
maintenance to consider him. William is extremely
knowledgeable, a true gentleman and teacher, and encourages
working with him to learn as he works on your car. He is a
also PCA instructor and had 4 Porsches at his wonderful shop
when I was there. If you don't wish to stay there is a winery
down the road and ferries to the islands in Lincolnville.
Without a doubt this was the finest service I have had on my
car and, again, I would encourage anyone to call if they need
Porsche help. He is the best!!

I have
heard that someone in Belfast is a wizard at tuning Porsches,
but I have lost his phone number. I have a 1961 Super 90 356 B
that needs valves (probably), carbs (maybe) and timing done by
someone good.

what's the difference
between (951 105 905 10) and (928 105 905 09). can (951 105
905 10) be installed and work well in my 85 late 944. i heard
that they can and can't.
price check:
(951 105 905 10) for GP run $17.00 $24.00 per inner/outer.
(928 105 905 09) For GP run $ 42.00 to $75.00 per
inner/outer.
Why the huge price difference when both are Genuine Porsche
valve spring sets.

suggestions? Thanks,

I have a problem with a
1971 911t. The engine works great but the clutch does not seem
to engage. The clutch pedal feels as if it is under the same
amount of pressure as when the car worked but when trying to
select reverse gear the car balks and it sounds as if the
gears are grinding. The last time I drove it was 3 months ago
and it worked perfectly. It has been in neutral in the garage
since then and I'm confused as to why it no longer works.
Looking for recommendations on what to do or who to talk to.

I am about to purchase a
1985.5 944, and I am wondering if any of you have had
experience with them (i.e. major repairs that are common to
that year model, or average common repair costs). I am aware
that maintenance will be considerable more than a domestic
vehicle, however I am just looking for some rough numbers.
Please email soon, as I will be making a purchase in the next
few days.

My father and I are
trying to restore a ‘73 911t. The car has been off the road
for almost 18 years. The flexible fuel lines are no longer
useful and we need to replace them. I was wondering if anyone
knew what the metal fixtures that connect the flexible fuel
lines to the metal fuel lines are and where I can find them?
Can you use the same one again or do you need to buy a new
fixture? I really appreciate the help.

I'm from Cumberland county and I'm looking at a 914. Can
anyone tell me more about these cars--performance, weak spots,
particular issues to watch for, etc.? This would be my first
Porsche (and, coincidentally, is quite inexpensive as it's not
currently running). Are the 914's easy to work on (doing the
work myself) and relatively straightforward? I have been a
Saab guy for a while now and there is an enormous online Saab
community that is very active--is there anything like that for
Porsches (i.e. a big bulletin board service with many
knowledgeable people who are willing to help those of us
unenlightened souls)?
Thanks for your help and input!

As a point of interest,
an author by the name of Brian Long has been publishing
several Porsche history/reference books. The books are in
great detail, and are written model specific. The pages are
high gloss and usually full color. The newest book (Porsche
944) was just released. I am very pleased with this book, and
it is certainly the best book in my library.
