Pretty good if it's been looked after and hasn't done a zillion miles.
But they do need a decent maintenance schedule if you want to keep them that way.
Nicholas Price
So by maintenance, is there anything except for changing oil, checking belts, etc?

I daily drove one for 5 years before it died on me, mine was a S with a s2 swap in it though. Picked it up with 100k miles, I treated it real bad. I had to replace the rear cv axles 4 times when I snapped them launching it, I replaced the clutch (it's a real bitch in them too, you gotta take the whole rear end, exhaust, ect off). Cleaned the AFM and did some electrical work when it was idling bad. I wouldn't say anything beyond the ordinary to expect with a 25 year old car, reason mine died was the water pump cracked and I just gave up on it.

I've seen kits for both a g50 swap, and 911 axle/hub swap, what do you think of the sound of that?
Lucas Howard
Would it still be rear transmission? To be honest I don't know anything about 911 engine or transmissions. I only ever learned the 944 and the 928 because that's what I had. Would it make it shift smoother or something? Cause I'd say that's my biggest complaint driving that car, the shifting was so sloppy since the linkage runs the entire length of the car.
Colton Ortiz
It would, of course. Not sure how the shift feels, but the g50 is much stronger, and has a great lsd. I think the g50 can handle up to 700hp or so.
Colton Roberts
I wouldn't worry much about prepping it for 700hp or something. I'm not gonna tell you how to live your life but just gonna say the entire point of the car (at least pre 88) is to be tiny and light, balanced 50/50 weight. It has just enough oomph to be fun on the highway or open country roads bur also still be great in the turns. I'd look at tires and suspension as my first mods for it, a turbo kit if you really want more power. If you engine swap it, it'll ruin the weight distribution.
Colton Green
If I engine swap, it'll only be for reliability. I've read a lot about axles breaking, so I figured, I'd get those replaced first, after usual things I do to new cars, which is oil, brakes, and tires. You really suggest suspension? Do you have a particular brand to look at?
Jayden King
I can't remember what I had but I had some decently cheap coilovers and noticed a world of difference after them. Also get one with a broken ebrake, so that you can leave it up and offer friends to drive it, then they get analised by it since it's on the left side and people never spot it.
