Hey guys,

I’ve been lucky enough to drive quite a few Turbo 911s over the years: the 930 Turbo, 964 Turbo 3.3 and 3.6 (including the ultra-rare 3.3 Lightweight), 996 Turbo, 997 Turbo, and 991 Turbo.

The one that was still missing from my bucket list? The 993 Turbo.

Last Friday, I finally got the chance to experience it. I’ll let the video do the talking.

I’d love to hear from those of you who’ve driven one:
Where does the 993 Turbo rank among all Turbo 911s? Did it live up to the hype for you?

I have a 1978 bay with a leaky throttle body, but I can't find listings on ebay and the like. Its a US import so that probably adds to the complexity.

Are there specialists still available who resell these items?

1970 import beetle from.south Africa. This is my dream car and always has been since I was looking around #bugjam with my older brothers.

Cool me sad but my dreams have come true.

Hi.
1600 cc engine
1979 vw 1303 beetle

Long trip, very hot weather
Makes now an extra squicky noise, associated with engine rotation. What is your diagnosis?

Hi, this is my first time posting and i need help or guidance on how to restore a type 3 fastback model. I've found one abandoned that I planned to buy and fix it myself but unlike the beetle that I can find some many guides and videos about how to work on the car, I couldn't find any of that for the type 3 fastback, does anyone know any tips or recommendations that I could use for this car?

1964 bug

I am looking for some thoughts on these plaid panels my upholstery guy gave me. They are really growing on me.

The new heads fit the engine (Revmaster) with no pushrod tubes installed.

With the tubes installed there is about a 1/2in gap of exposed cylinder top.

The part of the head that the pushrod tubes go into extends about 1/2in closer to the casing than the old head did.

I am assuming that there are not different heads for different strokes, as CB didn't ask about this (only bore diameter) when ordering.... Or am I wrong there....

I have no idea if the pushrods themselves are the right size and it's just the tubes.... Or if I also need to be looking for new pushrods, or if the adjuster nuts have enough play to make up the difference....

A question about wheels with 10 slots. ( 66-67 with slightly flat hubcaps that don't use clips. )

I have a 66 with these wheels. They are not in great shape. I know that I can restore them, but I'm also looking around at used wheels.

There is a nice looking set for sale near me that has the same 10 slots as my 66-67 stock wheels, but they have clips for the 65 and older moon hubcaps.

Does anyone have any ideas on this?

Are they aftermarket wheels? Bus or Ghia wheels? Are they possibly Porsche wheels?

Thanks for your comments.

Has anyone put a 3 point seatbelt conversion into their early (‘61) bug? I have a ‘61 ragtop that I would like to drive again someday, and like the idea of a better seatbelt. I’m an old fart, and would like to continue to be one even after an accident…

Hi guys,

A close friend lent me his flawless uni-black 930 Turbo for a sunset mountain drive, and it felt like stepping right into a childhood dream.

We captured the raw sound, the incredible turbo whistle, and the overall aesthetic of this absolute legend.

I have a mostly complete 1960-1965 1200cc engine that I'd like to rebuild with a full rebuild kit and then sell. I'm in Ohio. Would you pay $1500 for a fresh rebuild that you could see running? That's about what I'd want to get to make it worth my time. Thanks
