The team at Braunton Engineering are dedicated to the highest standard of maintenance, fettling Porsche 993s for long standing customers and new customers alike. The 993 is without doubt one of the most rewarding models to work on. This is due to a few factors, but one main reason the technicians enjoy the work with 993 is because of the way they have been thoughtfully designed and built.
This is no surprise as the 911 went through probably the most progressive evolution change any production car has seen, from its inception in the 1960’s to the last of the line in the in the mid 1990's. Here is a sports car that represents a smart place to park one's money for the short term and a good bet for a future return on the investment, including any moderate annual running costs – values are set to rise. If you have a spare £20k-£25k now is the time to look for a mint condition Porsche 993 for long term investment potential and the weekly joy of driving and pride of ownership. It pays to be fussy and to pick up a well cared for example. Sometimes paying a bit extra for a car with a clean bill of health, with the nod from a pre-purchase inspection from a renowned specialist, is the best way.
Braunton Engineering know they are handling a car that will be scrutinised in the future from pre-purchase inspections by Porsche specialists to servicing and repair work by leading specialists and the enthusiast owners. Work at Braunton is carried out with this knowledge… The team like the idea of a technician at OPC or independents; JZ Machtech, Parr, Fearnsport, Loe Bank, Strasse, Paragon, AutoFarm, GT One – to name a few of the countries leading specialists – working on the same car in the future, appreciating the care of the last technician who touched the car. A technician who cared to ensure correct torque settings, that hubs and relevant parts were coated with copper grease and correct servicing and repair procedures were followed.
If you require specialist assistance or simply advice with a Porsche 993, rest assured that a team of die-hard air-cooled enthusiasts lurk in a Devon workshop (some with beards, some with a penchant for wearing flat caps) await your call. A team that would love to return your car to somewhere closer to how it left the factory.
The 993 is generally a very reliable vehicle – one of the most reliable from the Porsche stable. Braunton Engineering see Porsche 993s for age and wear related issues or for routine maintenance. MO33 suspension strut replacement due to surface corrosion or wear of the original items. Worn front wishbone bushes, corroded or perforated AC condensers, corroded inner faces on brake discs, rust around the windscreen aperture, oil leaks, track rod end wear leading to vibration, engine oil leaks (crank seal), power steering oil leaks, C4 diff faults etc. Critically exhaust heatshields and bumper support tubes require replacement due to corrosion.
The team see a number of Porsche 993s & 964s for servicing with corrosion around the bottom and the two bottom corners of the front windscreen. This is worth checking if you own a 993 or are looking to buy a 993/964. The windscreen trim can allow moisture to sit in the recess and promote corrosion along the recess. If caught early, a minor repair can be completed by Braunton Engineering with the windscreen out, a clean up of the recess and rust proofing without having to paint the scuttle panel (the panel in front of the screen). If the corrosion has spread past the rubber trim (i.e. rust bubbles are visible) then a '993 scuttle panel refurb' is required. Briefly, this includes; screen out, removal of all relevant items, cutting the old panel out and welding in a new factory supplied panel. To complete major work the front wings need to be moved away from scuttle panel & rubber trim, and finally a visit to the spray booth for the perfect colour match and finish.
The Porsche 993 represents the ultimate evolution of the air cooled 911 sports car. Although the shape features rounded changes, the 993 still delivers everything that the best 911 delivered to the performance driver, but with a more refined manner. Driving the 993 is a treat; the six speed gear change, power delivery and the handling are sublime. The 993 still retains the key elements of the 911 that owners love but with the reworking of the rear suspension to feature alloy multi-arm components, the handling at the extreme is tamed. The 993 featured a further development of the 3.6 engine to incorporate hydraulic lifters so valve clearance at service is not required.
Porsche 993 suspension struts can suffer from corrosion - a popular solution is to fit Porsche's MO33 upgrade suspension kit.
Driving the Porsche 993 back to back with a 911 whether it be the 3.2, 3.0, 2.7 etc, the driver notices differences immediately. The 993 is more refined & powerful and an easier vehicle to drive; the gear change, the noise levels, the ride, power delivery allow the driver to relax and choose how much to input, whereas the 911 demands constant attention, to be driven correctly. The 993 is a step forward and in the teams eyes is the ultimate evolution of the air cooled 911. The 993 turbo being placed firmly at the top of the tree as a magnificent 911 for an adventure with each drive and a good future investment (values have already risen). Stepping into the Porsche 996 is a new experience again, a 911 for the modern era, any everyday super-car with good manners and looks to match. Porsche 996 service
