    There are no additional HP in any aftermarket muffler including the PSE (no matter what their ads say). To get more HP you would also need to change out the cats, headers and re-program (chip) the DME.

    Not that I am aware of without changing the seats and the mounts. Brey-Krause makes a "tall man kit" but it only works with GT3 seats. Brey-Krause

    The rear console is covered in the B&M Short Shifter instructions. You can download the B&M instructions here (about 2.5 MB). They are actually very good and include pictures.

    Have a look at the Brake Pad DIY

    The microswitch in the front trunk is know to cause this sort of problem. Be sure and check it or take the bulb out to test.
  8. Loren
    Well, everything looks ok in the picture so you must be either getting hung up on the ducting or the damage to the bumper is causing the misalignment. These things fit pretty well so you bumper damage still may be the problem.

    I was looking for a straight on shot where we can see alignment of radiators and ducts. Like this:
  10. Loren
    If the bumper alignment is that far off something is wrong. Do you have a pic of the ducting (bumper off). It should look like the one in my DIY.

    Corrosion Technologies Corporation Mine arrived in about 2 days.

    10 ft-lbs with silicone type 1209 from the Drei Bond company on sealing surface.

    Well... mine seems to... :D

    I just use a regular jack with a hockey puck on the center of it.

    You are talking about the small vents under the rear window on the inside... right? If so, they are: 996 555 645 00 Grille Laquered (Left) 996 555 646 00 Grille Laquered (Right) They only come in Granite Grey (D05) or Black (A03) so you would need to paint them. The color code needs to be added to the end of the part number to order them (i.e. 996 555 645 00 A03).

    According to what I found it the connector for that plugs into the older lighter to add an accessory. Goes way back to the 356 and as far forward as the 89 Carrera. I don't know if it will work in todays cars as they use a more standard lighter socket now.
  19. Loren
    Ah... looks like the German version of the same cable/software. Price looks good too! If the cable is properly made then there is little or no risk of damaging the DME. I have probably plugged mine in several hundred times.
  20. Loren
    Yes, Porsche is ISO protocol as are most European cars, Asian cars and Chrysler (American) cars. I had a look at the site and cable package you show above - it is hard to tell if it includes the software. They did not have any software screenshots that I could find. I guess it comes down to knowing people that have used the product and validation that it works.
  21. Loren
    Most likely a leaking coolant tank or tank cap. There are TSBs on both.

    On a MY2000 somewhere between 30-36K you will want to change the spark plugs to the newer heat range and if they are not already the 4-prong plugs. It is not that hard with the right tools - the short swivel head rachet is the key (and a little patience). The OBD-2 software I spoke can reset DME fault codes and several other system(s) codes.
  23. Loren
    Yes, they update the program almost monthly so I still use and recommend it. It does all the basic stuff most of us need. A PST2 or the new PIWIS system from Porsche can do much much more (and cost over $4000!) - but some procedures require network communication to Porsche for authorization. There are no aftermarket tools that can do what a PST2 does today. Normal 30K maintenance - Well you will need filters and the link at the top (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) has a kit with oil, air, and pollen filter for $88. Plus you will need oil - about $45. Depending on the year of your car you need to change the spark plugs - about $60. And, if you haven't changed your brake fluid for 2 years (or more) you will want to change that too - about $10. So, if you DIY, under $200 doing all of the above.

    X74 is somewhat different that the TT/C4S X73. But if your X73 kit lowered your car 30 mm then it should be fairly close. Anytime you change the ride height you are altering the wheel alignment so it needs to be done. Also, on 4WD cars the steering angle sensor needs to be re-calibrated for the lowered car - this must be done with a PST2. X73 alignment is likely in a service manual supplement I have on order. Sometimes they take a week to get and sometimes they take 3 months! As soon as I have somthing newer I will post it here. Here is all I have for C4S at this point:

    MY99 on... Please realize these TSBs are only for people with rattles and other noises. They are "what to to do if you have this rattle...".
