Evening everyone!
Just joined tonight, as I got my first Porsche (a 1973 1.7) last weekend. I've loved these since I was a kid, and although I have quite a few vintage muscle cars, I'm interested in exploring the world of European sports cars. The previous owner is a friend of mine, and he's an engineer and racer who has really brought back a nice original car. It has no rust, and he's taught himself the ins and outs of the fuel injection system and has the engine in perfect working order. Mechanically the car is perfect. The only negative of the car is that he recently installed front poly control arm bushings, and while the car handles well, the noise is unacceptable. Even he regretted it. So the only real change I need to make is to replace the front bushings. All the catalogs list either Poly or Graphite replacements. I'm not going to drive then car hard enough, or put enough miles on it, to get the benefit of poly. I would prefer comfortable ride and quiet so my wife will join me. Is there an OEM rubber bushing available that's completely quiet? Once that's done, perhaps someone can explain the confounding contraption called the heater controls. Thanks in advance! |
