Hi all,
I took an afternoon off work today to fit a few bits and to carry out an inspection on my new toy! I confirmed that she is a beaut and is ridiculously clean underneath and I can believe it's coming up 28 years old...
My car has the 474 sport suspension option, but going through the paperwork all four corners have been replaced at some point (the rears have been 'downgraded' to Boge turbos). The car has sport springs and Koni struts on the front which are clearly marked 'adjustable' however the top of the struts do not have adjusters. Now I've had Koni's on a number of cars and I know some of them are adjustable off the car by compressing them and I wondered if these are the same?.. But I was under the impression that the sport dampers were top adjustable at the front.
Looking at the top of the struts it doesn't look like the adjusters have snapped off and certainly the struts haven't been modified in any way (the yellow strut body caps are still intact).
Here's a couple pictures of the drivers side including the part no 951 343 032 02
Your thoughts on identifying whether these are adjustable or not would be appreciated!
Also just a point of interest for some on the subject of LSD's: my car does not have the 220 LSD option however a previous owner had a Porsche heritage check and certificate, which states the car had the LSD option ticked. The car certainly has one (it also has the oil cooler) which is very noticeable on the road and I double checked today when changing the 'box oil and the clutch pack is clearly visible through the fill hole. IMO this proves that on the turbo at least the absence of a 220 code is not conclusive proof that a car does not have an LSD!
