    The relay box near your left foot well.
  2. Loren
    The locations are: See my Brake/Clutch Fluid Change and Bleeding Instructions p.s. now you know why I do all my own work) Calipers Clutch (above axle on drivers side)

    Yes, BS 16/2 (position 11 relay support 1) goes to fuse F5 and is power. And yes, BS 11 (position 28 relay support 1) goes to fuse F5 and is ground. Not that it uses a lot of power (I doubt it does) but they are seeing the the power is distributed so you don't blow a fuse. ;) Good Luck!

    Freddy, Need to know the model year of your car to get the right list...
  6. Loren
    Have a look at this link

    To my knowledge all (real) GT3's had 3 radiators... it was not an option. My Carrera with factory aerokit had the GT3 bumper with the plug.
  8. Loren
    I'll cross my fingers for you. It could be that they have changed the bumper part number in the kit but all the kit lists I have show a different number. Good Luck!
  9. Loren
    Patrick, Yes. That's why I am concerned that you might not have the right bumper. The headlight openings and fender opening are different on the later cars. Can you verify with the company you bought from that you got the right bumper?
  10. Loren
    I don't know of a way to extend the steering column. An aftermarket wheel with a new hub might bring it out a little further but most of the wheels give up the airbag. Have you thought about different seat options? Like GT3 seats and a tall man bracket from Brey-Krause? BTW... I've already asked for a tall man bracket for standard seats and B-K doesn't make one (and doesn't plan to).
  11. Loren
    Hmm... The part number Patrick said he got is: 996 505 983 01 The part number shown in my (-MY02) parts list is: 996 505 980 02 G2X and installation TSB is: 996 505 980 00 G2X. The parts list is newer so I would believe it. The part number for MY02 and newer Aerokit II front bumper is: 996 505 983 02 G2X Hmm... I wonder if Patrick has the right bumper? MY02 bumpers will not work on MY01 and earlier cars.

    1. Even in America parking brake and handbrake are the same (it's just that some American cars parking brake is foot actuated). So handbrake (on the console) is what I am speaking of. 2. The Carrera does not use a relay for the top. It has a top controller box (see item 4 in the first post). So I think you would need to cut this wire and connect it to ground (controller side) to see if Jeff's trick will work. I still think this would need to be only when operating the top or the parking brake light would be on all the time (?) 3. The Grey/Pink wire is the speed sensing wire and the Brown/Yellow wire is the handbrake sensing wire. This are two different operations here. 1. Disconnecting the Grey/Pink wire should allow you to open the top while moving IF the handbrake is pulled on to the first click. 2. We are theorizing that disconnecting and bring the handbrake wire to ground will have the same effect as pulling the parking brake to the first click.

    Thanks! A number of folks with the same leg room issues have gone with the GT3 console delete. You lose a little storage room with this but gain leg/knee room. I think these are about $100. Some pics from Carnewal.com and Suncoast Porsche (Carnewal also has a leather trim portion for another $40)
  14. Loren
    The line in the pic directly above (with the arrow ?) inside the bumper (not the drawn line). My bumper had the same line but with addititional tabs. As I said the rubber insert needs to fit over that lip on the cut bumper.
  15. Loren
    Hmmm... very strange considering the right rear line is the longest line in the car. Any chance it was fluid from the previous bleed (before the super blue)? Also, you did open both bleed valves at each wheel (total of eight)?
  16. Loren
    34 ftlbs. Good Luck! Take pics for us...

    The passenger sill is easy. Just remove the rubber mat and the two screws underneath. The just pry it out with your plastic spatula. The driver side has three plastic plugs on the seat side of the sill that need to be removed to get to the hex bolts (you may need to push the carpet down a little to get to them). Once these are out carefully lift and disconnect the electrical and hood release cables.
  18. Loren
    Patrick, If you cut on the line inside the bumper cover, I think that would be best. The black rubber piece in your radiator kit fits up and around the bumper opening. You plug does look like mine -- just without the tabs.
  19. Loren
    Two things come to mind... 1. Castrol SRF is synthetic and doesn't mix well so it is good you took out as much of the old as possible. But it would surprise me if you saw more blue later (like from the ABS). 2. What order did you bleed in? For Carrera's it's: Right rear, Left rear, Right front, Left front. Isn't the TT the same?
  20. Loren
    The parking brake wire (like the speed wire) go to the convertible top control unit (computer). But I think Jeff (Tool Pants) makes a good point -- perhaps just bringing this wire to ground (only during operation) will fool the controller. The correct color code for the handbrake wire (MY00 only) is Brown/Yellow
  21. Loren
    There is only one bolt that hold the clamp aroung the tailpipe. I think it is 15 mm. Loosen the clamp and take the old tailpipe off. Put the new tailpipe on and tighten just so that it can still be moved. Align it so that the top most part of the tail pipe is at least 22 mm from the bumper cover (vertically) and centered horizontally while sticking out 7 -10 mm beyond the bumper. (Don't blame me these are Porsche specs -- I generally line them up so they look the same on each side). Do the same with the other side. THEN you are ready to tighten them down -- if you tighten then down too soon then you will likely have to go back and move one or the other to get them aligned with each other. Probably a 15 -20 minute job.

    The German across the back of the car(s) -- Erprobungsfahrzeug means: Test vehicle
  24. Loren
    Yes. Do NOT put the key in the ignition while you are removing the seat... as this can trigger the airbag warning light. Not the airbag itself but the warning light -- if that happens it must be cleared with a diagnostic tool (PST2 or OBD II). If you want to be extra safe then disconnect the battery.
  25. Loren
    Pull forward the control button (25) of the light switch (31) as far as it will go (direction of the arrow) towards the front. Press in the locking device at the lower side using a small screwdriver and remove the control button towards the front. Undo the fastening screws (21) at the side, remove the side vent towards the front. Disconnect the plug connection (30) of the main light switch. You will need to remove the seat to hook up the reverse wire for the mirror. The reverse wire disables the self dimming when you put the car in reverse. The seat is not hard to remove as long as you have a Torx E12 (E is for external) socket. Sears as well as other tool places have these.
