Porsche 928 Model variations and features
These were some of the oldest pages on 928.org.uk. They showed participants cars for almost all model year variations and for a long time we had a locator to match people to cars. In editing the site in 2020 (in a long overdue sort out); the names of contributors have been removed since owners change and we have a responsibility to privacy that wasn't there in 1999 when this page was originally written. Ive added galleries for each model year of 928 as there are zillions of pictures on the website. To download any given picture you have to be logged in to the website as a registered user (which is different to being on the 928uk mail list).

Re-keying Porsche 928 Locks
Nick Carrington, Gareth Croeser, Jon Holdsworth, November 2002
Hatch Lock
Procedure is moderately "involved" for the hatch lock. I'd assume more involved for the ignition! Anyone with some reasonable mechanical ability can do this - really. - It takes about 3 hours the first time.

Performance Upgrades
There are 2 types of performance upgrade owners can make to a 928:
Higher Specification Official Porsche Parts
This is where certain parts are replaced with Official Porsche parts originally fitted to a later, or more sporting Porsche.
Examples to consider:
- Replace wheels with GTS specification 17" Cup wheel
- Upgrade brakes to GTS specification (requires 17" wheels)
- Upgrade mirrors to GTS specification "tear drop" design (aka Ovoid mirrors)
- Upgrade suspension front springs to SE specification. (One of the best things to do!)
- Upgrade shock absorbers to SE/GT/Club Sport specification
- Upgrade springs to SE/GT/Club Sport specification
- Upgrade Exhaust to Sports or Techquipment specification
Third Party Performance Parts
This is where parts are upgraded to non Porsche parts that are of even higher performance.
Examples to consider
- Rear Muffler Bypass (RMB) - replaces the rear box with a straight pipe for a more sporty sound - Ask Paul Anderson to make you one
- Performance Chips - change the character of the engine for a more sporty performance
- Semi Racing Brake Pads - less dust more stopping power
- Aftermarket wheels and tyres
- Stroker Kit - take the engine out to 6litres! Not for the non mechanically minded.
- Body styling kits - Search for Jaquemond on google
