  1. Yes, pretty much. No, it is down below the radio. If you look at the other posts you will see you just remove the trim panel on the passenger side and it is usually right there. Covered many, many, many times in previous posts. There is switched and un-switched power and ground. Ignore the telephone mute wire. Look a little harder at the earlier posts please... :)
  2. Yes, he posted that here over a year ago... http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=6016 I am not sure I agree with his process - especially since there is a a new seal and install tool.
  3. Try using Search... ;) You will find topics here and here.
  4. The Mk1 GT3 was not sold in the US and Canada -- it was only sold in the Rest of World market (which is everything except US/Canada). This as well as many other terms can be found in our Glossary of Technical Terms
  5. :eek: Oh my... $100? (well $98.90 plus shipping of $8.05)
  6. I will give someone the instructions for disassembling the rear deck lid/spoiler if they will take some pictures and write up the process changing out the folding wall. Please PM me if you want to volunteer.
  7. With the proper tools and lift I would say 3-4 hours tops.
  8. That was my point I've see kits with them and without them -- maybe a little too tongue in cheek - :lol:
  9. Once the airbag light comes on it can only be turned off with a PST2, PIWIS or the Durametric Software. Besfore it is reset thye should read the fault code so you can see what turned it on - and correct the problem. My guess is it is likely a seat belt buckle (unless you took the steering wheel off recently). ;)
  10. Yes, but the PSS9's will go faster since the coils are already mounted on the struts.
  11. The OBD II manual says for P0343 to repair the wiring harness. "Check signal wire from DME control module, Pin III/12, to CMP sensor for short to B+. Connect special tool 9637 to wiring harness (DME control module plug) - Remove connector of CMP sensor 1 - Switch on the ignition - Measure voltage between special tool 9637 Pin III/12 and ground 0 V is ok. If not 0V repair the wiring harness.
  12. As I recall the screws don't come with the 5 mm spacers either. You use the two that hold the rotor on.
  13. The mk1 wheels used 5 mm spacers on the RoW GT3 because the brakes are bigger. They are not required for use of the wheels on a 996 Carrera. The sizes/offsets are -- Front: 18 x 8 offset 52 mm Rear: 18 x 10 offset 65 mm
  14. Loren

    GT3 DME

    DME 7.8
  15. You have to turn it off.
  16. Check your emissions warranty - it is usually much longer than the rest of the car. I think my MY99 California Emissions Warranty is 7 years / 70,000 miles.
  17. It works for me (using Firefox 1.5)... and last time I checked RennTech.org members got a discount.
  18. Here is a very similar question asked at PCA Tech http://www.pca.org/tech/tech_qa_question.a...F-D4F2CF848BE2}
  19. The parts (except for the door itself) are the same as on the 996. Have a look here and here.
  20. Item 11 is the EVAP purge valve.
  21. P0441 Fuel Tank Ventilation System - Above Limit - EVAP canister purge valve open - Pressure sensor faulty P1531 Camshaft Adjustment, Bank 1 - Open circuit in triggering wire. - Open circuit in B+ supply. - Actuator faulty BTW... all the fault codes are listed here.
  22. I have not tried this "new" method from Porsche yet. It is per supplement 98 from 2005 of the Carrera (996) Service Manual. With pressure on the system I guess air should not flow back in.
  23. Try re-training the windows. Hold the button down until the window goes down all the way - then hold it for about 10 seconds. Do the same for the up motion. If that doesn't do it then like PorscheFan said you may need a new window regulator.
  24. The trick I used was to add the GT3 third radiator and connect it to the engine cooling system. That does nothing for the transmission but can really drop temps for the engine during track events and running on hot days. IMHO unless you are running some 24 hour (or even 12 hour) distance race you don't likely need any transmission cooling.
