The Gold-Plated Porsche - by Stephan Wilkinson
Just as life is often described as a road one takes through the aging process, Wilkinson's experience rebuilding a Porsche is the exit ramp that leads straight into his garage to a world of wires, leather trimmings, and memory pit stops with each turn of the 911 manuscript.

Quirky, cool, entertaining, and opinionated, Wilkinson's rebuilding project leads to inspired digressions on his life. Learning about the inner workings of a car is also a lesson in tracing the thought-streams of the human mind. While rebuilding his car, Wilkinson waxes eloquent on the history of Porsche, American engineering and culture, personal status, his unfulfilling stint as editor of Car and Driver, his love of flying and all things mechanical, not to mention the integrity of wedding dress silk when it's woven amidst engine pistons. According to Wilkinson, "Most of the work that my Porsche required, I was confident I could do myself. Turning nuts and bolts, replacing pieces and parts, disassembling and reassembling, rewiring and renovating were within my basic-competence envelope. Anybody who can overhaul a lawnmower knows how a car engine works. Anybody who can drive a vacuum cleaner or polish shoes can redo a car interior. Anybody who can read a home-wiring diagram can at least begin to fiddle with a car's electrical system." He makes it all sound so easy. Yet, the expensive misadventures he had while rebuilding the German masterpiece were like mirrors of a life experience; the eventual purr of the redone motor felt like a long-awaited jaunt upon a road temporarily closed, and the traveling sure was sweet.

Tune-up DVD   Camera Pic

Pride of ownership comes with driving a Porsche 911, one of the world’s last hand-crafted high performance sports cars, but most owners don’t like paying up to $1200 for a major tune-up.

If you own a 1973 1/2 -thru 1977 911 or an SC no longer is there a need to be intimidated by valve, air fuel timing or any of the other adjustments associated with tuning your Porsche. Through color animations, video effects and graphics these processes are quickly de-mystified. If you can perform simple maintenance procedures like oil changes or replacing a fan belt, chances are you can tune your own Porsche on a Saturday afternoon.

If you can perform an oil/filter change or replace a fan belt -- you can tune your own 911!

Porsche Master technicians with over fifty years combined experience, guide you through each step of the tune-up. Click on a section on the left to see more about each section included on the DVD.

The Porsche Tune-up DVD includes sections on:
• Fuel/Air Mix Adjustment
• Valve Adjustment
• Ignition Timing
• Ignition Replacement
