The order guide says "Sport chassis with more rigidly tuned springs, shock absorbers and stabilizer bars.". The rear shocks are the only items with a different part number from the "US Sport" parts. A green dot usually IDs a sport shock. I do not know what the gray dot is. Is that only on the rear shocks?

We have added some new features you may or may not have noticed. Here is a brief listing: 1. Minor addition - Random selected factory scenes on the opening page. If you click on the image you will get a larger high quality version of the image. 2. Maintenance Checklists for Carrera (worldwide). (here) 3. External Paint Colors and paint codes. (here) 4. MY04 Order Guides (for US and Canada). (here) 5. Current TSB listings for all (current) models. Besides viewing the listing, Contributing Members can view the TSB content. (here) 6. Garage buttons have been added to the Memberlist functions and at the bottom of each post you make (just like email or WWW buttons). Also, the Latest Updates in the Garage are now on the home page. Please let me know if you see any problems with the new stuff. Your comments are always welcome. Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year to All!

It has been order guide option "CUP" (or sticker option M454) for as long as I can remember. Sometime Porsche refers to it as speed control rather cruise control.

Have a look at this thread

You can download the PDF section by section here. I merged them into one 115 MB PDF file. If you want that... I'd have to send you a CDROM.

Karl, I sent you an email with diagrams...

Sounds like your dealer/installer put the relay and socket in position 24. Look at the back of position 24 and see if the there is a gray/pink wire - that is the Speedometer A signal which triggers the relay cutout. If it is on the socket side of position 24 then you've got the right socket.

It will support the metal hinge (all consoles will) but it looks like one has never been installed. You might want to buy the hinge kit 996 552 960 01 If they don't give you the installation TSB let me know and I'll email it to you.

Any console that has had a failed hinge (old hinge was plastic) has had the upgrade kit installed. The hinge upgrade involves pop-riveting the new metal hinge on. You have choices depending on the console - buy a new style hinge (if your new arctic silver console supports it), -- or drill out the pop rivets and move the hinge to the new console and put in new pop rivets -- or buy another replace hinge kit.

IMHO anytime you change the intake volume or exhaust backpressure you likely need to adjust the DME. For minor changes the DME can "re-learn" itself (after disconnecting the batttery for 5 minutes). For changes that are more extensive you really need a good shop with a dyno to get the most out of the new setup. This also usually involves a programming change in the DME.

Here are the torque values: headers to head 19 ft-lbs. muffler hanger (three 13 mm nuts) 17 ft-lbs. cat pipe to muffler clamps 34 ft-lbs tailpipe clamp 22 ft-lbs. Use a new gasket between the header and the cylinder head. That's it.

You've got mail... There are no schematics that show the PSE function. The speedometer A wire signals the relay when the car is between and 35 and 45 MPH. The relay then moves a solenoid in the engine compartment that switches the vacuum valve on each muffler causing the flap to move and no longer bypass that section of the muffler. If the speed exceeds 45 MPH the relay opens the exhaust valves again. Using the switch you can override the speedometer link and have quiet at any time you want or do a complete bypass that will have quiet only when the switch is on.

Your dealer maybe correct as I have not seen a TSB for this yet. The parts list does show a new part number with a "use instead" marking. There are two cardan shafts listed (one for the S and one for the Turbo) but I don't know which is for which... so you'll have to look at the part number on your current one. For the 955 421 020 10 use the new cardan shaft 955 421 020 11 or for the 955 421 020 20 use the new cardan shaft 955 421 020 21.

Unplug the battery for at least 5 minutes -- remember to find your radio codes first ;)

The bulb is: 900 631 106 90 The socket assembly includes: 959 632 201 01 light 815 971 989 B plug socket N 017 490 6 connectors (2 needed) Chances are you just need the bulb and holder (what they call light)

If you have a MY99-MY01 you must use the older lights (or change the fenders and bumper also). If you want the Litronic's to work as the factory intended (low beams mix with the high beams for even more light when high beams are on)... then you will need the upgrade kit that includes the wiring and control boxes. The part number for this kit 000 044 900 64. On the MY02 lights the 59/60 lights are Litronic high and low beams (or Bi-Xenon) and the 55/60 lights are Halogen (standard). But you can't use those on your car ;)

With the radio on, hold the "TP" button for 5 seconds until the active screen "Becker" appears. Then turn the right hand knob one click at a time until the radio window displays the serial number of the radio. Once you have this info, you can call PCNA or any dealer for that matter and they can get the code for you. You may be asked to prove you are the registered owner.

If you are not receiving topic or forum notices and emails from RennTech.org then you may likely need to set your email service to accept emails from admin@renntech.org. Recently I have been receiving several failed email notices per day. In almost every case the message relates to email addresses refusing "spam". AOL and several other services allow you to "refuse" email from sources that don't appear to name you in the email address. All automated responses from this board are sent blind to protect email addresses (i.e. from admin@renntech.org). Again, if you want to use the topic/forum notification features (and want others to be able to blind email you) on the board you need to add/allow email from admin@renntech.org. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or problems. Thanks! and Happy Holidays to All :cheers:

Yes, it is a 10 minute job with a PST2. No advance prep needed. Yes, the cluster design was updated in MY02. It is a fairly major change so you will need gauges out of a MY02 or newer car with a like transmission (Tip cluster is different also). Yes, if you know the tricks. Do a search here for cluster and you will find several posts with pics.

The rear bumper on RoW MY02 on and the GT3 are the same. Part number 996 505 411 12. (Note: This is not the US rear bumper part number) The bumper reinforcement and heat shield changed in MY02 also. The heat shields likely because of the engine change. It looks like it may fit... but you will have to give it a try.

661 (in the serial number) signifies the case was built for MY01.

Mike, Have a look at this post (very last comment by Mike in CA). Is this what you are after?

To connect non-MOST components you will need to add any wiring needed by those components (MOST is optical). You will also need to have your dealer remove the CDR23 from the MOST computer by disabling it with a PST2.

Very interesting? Exactly backwards. Can't be the wrong switch as there is only one for all markets. The wiring connector also appears to be asymetrical - so it can't be installed upsidedown. I wonder if the pins are all reversed in the connector? or if you have a RHD harness?
