Trust me I’m not being critical but I’m concerned that you’re so worked up about this one thing already. This is a 20 year old car that you want to race. You will have things to fix. I suggest you get a Bentley manual and study it for the fixes you can do yourself. Otherwise you’d better have a good friend that works on Porsche’s or better yet is an indy. Parts also are not cheap.
Did you have a PPI done before you bought?

I don't get the sense he's "worked up" at all. He said in the first part "... just curious.. ".
A couple of things seem to be clear:
1. The person he bought the car from france him some misguided information, which he understandably thought was correct.
2. English doesn't seem to be his first language yet he seems to manage fine. (I hope I'm not offending)
3. This is probably his first porsche, and possibly first European car.

All of these things contribute to his multiple posts here. He's excited. But I don't get the sense that he's "worked up".

And personally, I think a PPI is a little overrated. You're buying a dirt-cheap, entry level, bottom of the line, 15 year old porsche. Let's not act like it's some exotic that needs specialized attention.
