Review
Classic Car Mart, October 2006, UK Following on from our review of a similar title on the Porsche 911SC in last month’s Classic Car Mart comes this, an all-encompassing look at the 993-series models and what’s involved if you’re thinking of buying, maintaining, repairing or simply researching one. This is the third book in a planned range of six covering various Porsche models in incredible detail. And although it’s quite a major investment at just under $100, it’s also invaluable if a 993-model Porsche is high on your shopping list of Exotica To Buy. In any case, if you can afford a secondhand 993, what’s another one-hundred bucks? In case you’re confused by exactly what a 993 is, it’s essentially the 911 model that Porsche produced between 1993 and the 1998 model year. And that means coverage of such iconic versions produced during that time as the 993 Carrera Coupe and Cabriolet, Targa (1996-98), 993 Turbo, Turbo Cabriolet and Speedster, 993 Carrera S, Carrera 4S and Turbo S, and even the 993 GT-2 and 911 GT-1. Confused? Well, if you’re well up on your modern-classic Porsches, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about. This is a highly specialized book by any standards. But if a Porsche 993-series is the car you’re about to buy, it’s also essential reading, providing brilliantly the kind of detail and information guaranteed to ensure you don’t buy a dud. You won’t buy this book for its glossy image (there isn’t one) or its creative layout (ditto); but within its 640 pages (yes, this is a seriously big title) you’ll find the kind of information, advice and intricate detail you won’t find anywhere else. It’s as simple as that.Restored Cars magazine, May-June 2007 - Australian magazine Whether you are an owner or a would-be owner, this book is packed with vital information sourced from enthusiasts and experts around the world, it will answer virtually any question you might ask about the 993.

I read this book cover to cover, twice, which is a lot considering it's over 600 pages. My first opinion is that the author had a lot of photographs of friends cars he wanted to publish. They are nice to look at but don't really add to the text, and would have been much better published in color. I would have liked to see more photos relating to the text rather than pretty car photos.Also many of the photos don't highlight the subject of the photo, which if you don't know what the item already looks like, makes it hard to find in the picture. The photos are in B&W and many from under the car, with a dirty undercarrage which makes the subject of the photo difficult to find, unless you already know what it looks like.Overall there is a tremendous amount of information contained in this book, but not in a manner that I could undertake a repair using just this book. Maybe that is not the intention of the author, but from the title "....essential companion" I was expecting something more along the troubleshooting-repair lines. I did have many of my questions answered by this book as I am a new 993 owner and the Porsche 993 is a complex car.
As a new 993 C4S owner I've found this book to be a virtual treasure trove of interesting and useful information. I'm constantly picking up and referring back to it, and I've read certain parts of it multiple times. Did I mention it's a HUGE book? Dictionary size, it's crazy. Although expensive, I would buy it again and would recommend it to other 993 owners.Having said that, a few nit picks:1) Did anyone edit this thing? In the first 5 pages I found 10 grammatical/spelling/punctuation errors, and it doesn't get any better from there. Seriously, anyone with a functional understanding of English could vastly improve this tome by going through it with a red pen. I find it almost embarrassing for the publisher.2) I wish the photos, at least some of them, were in color. I realize this would make the book more expensive, but it would really be impactful if even 10% were in color. I find it annoying when the author says in photo captions things like, "isn't the color of this example fantastic"...and it's black/white.3) Too much emphasis on Ruf. I understand the historical significance of Ruf and I agree it would be a mistake to not to include Ruf here, but there's way too much coverage, almost as the author feels that Ruf was a factory project a la Porsche Exclusive. But that's not the case. A modern version of this book would have too much emphasis on Singer and Magnus Walker as well. Significant, but I personally feel the book should focus solely on factory cars (w/ maybe a chapter dedicated to 3rd market builders/tuners).4) Comes across at times as an advertisement for what is obviously the author's shop of choice, which I won't mention here. I'm sure he felt he was helping them out, but it feels heavy handed and inappropriate in my personal opinion.Having said all that, I'm rating this book 4 out of 5 stars because I really do enjoy it and am able to overlook the few small issues I have with it. It's a great addition to my small (but growing!) Porsche library and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to any 993 owner or anyone interested in the last of the air-cooled cars.
This is the essential guide (see the title). It's easier to read than the dealer manuals and 1/5th the price. I'd love a bit more information (e.g. torque settings for everything) but that's the only reason I dinged this book one stars. I wanted to give it 5 stars, it's a must buy.
I needed a detailed source of information relative to this car!It is an impressive book that needs to be gone through in detail to be properly appreciated.Don't just skim it to get an overall impression; you will discover how great it is as you dig deeper.While there are many pictures, it is often difficult to know exactly where a part is located in the constrained space.A great help wold have been a few summariy diagrams, showing parts locations that would have been located at the beginning of the book.Overall, it is a mine of information and a great acquisition.J.P.

I did’nt know very much about how the cars engine and various systems work - and the book has been a fascinating education. I know feel more knowledgeable and, in addition, it is a great reference tool
works great
If you buy this book, you better enjoy reading, the book is massive. The layout and organization is very good, easy to understand and the index makes it easy to specifically find what you are looking for. The only drawback is the book was written in Queens English which made it a little interesting when the book referred to such things as a "bonnet" instead of a hood, etc. The book provided the correct mix of technical info in easy to understand layman terms. You will not be sorry you purchased this book.
Overall, a good addition to the literature. Not so detailed that it stands ALONE as a repair resource, but with Pelican, Excellence, Panorama and the various web sites offering 993 information, adds more complete information for the do-it yourself mechanic. Of my reference books, this is perhaps the most comprehensive, specifically for the 993 (other than the factory manuals). An easy read, usually clearly written, yet at times too abbreviated. (Cabrio top repair, for example) First 100 pages deal with "styles" of 993 offered. Contains torque specs. Some info is nothing more than "owners manual" info. Nontheless, I am happy to have added this volume to my library!
