    Don, I tend to work on one side or one end of the car at a time. I have four jack stands but I think it is safer to keep two wheels on the ground when working in my home garage. I can only think of a couple times when I used all four jack stands. When I did I usually raised the rear first. With that said I know some folks like Orient Express that do a lot of (under car) detail and use four stands all the time.

    The part number for the MY99-01 C2 was replaced by the MY02 version. That is, if you order the old part number they are supposed to give you the new one. The newer (MY02-) version is part number: 996 559 237 09 70C. The 70 C indicated rally-black which was used on all C2's -- C4's got a Silver logo (996 559 237 07 4PU) which some folks think looks better on dark colored cars. The location on the rear deck lid also changed. Let me know if you need exact dimensions.

    There are a couple of ways to mark the cables. To know what we are talking about look at the PDF instructions in the link above. Some folks like to mark the cable positions with tape before disconnecting them so that when you put the new shifter in you have little or no adjustment needed. Another method (for those with good eyesight) is to count the number of threads the coupler is from the end of the cable (usually 5-7 threads). The when you reattach the cables you just put them back at the same thread count.

    Last number I have is: 996 613 155 00 p.s. Why don't you put all those mods (in your signature) in the Garage and show them off?

    Interesting that they didn't replace the bellows tube. Those have been a problem on a few older MY99 cars (cracking and leaking). The guess labor is so high because they have to drop the oil pan (drain the oil and refill)... still doesn't seem like more than a couple hours.

    I suggest you buy the 2002 Technical Introduction CD for $6.23 from My-Porsche.com. It has all of the information you want and more.

    I don't know that it would hurt anything in normal driving. Up hills or down hills might spill out?? I don't know?

    11.3:1 Light alloy, pressed. Forged. Yes, forged. Sorry, not specified in the manual The camshafts use Variocam so you might consider the camshafts from the X51 kit. As a matter of fact if I were TCing or SCing a Carrera engine I would start with the X51 engine upgrade kit. What year is the car? (i.e. 3.4 liter or 3.6 liter)
  16. Loren
    Yes, 999 113 490 40 is rear main seal. Better yet it is the newest and best design.

    IMHO... both add some intake noise but have never been proven to add much if any HP. Nor because they don't but because no one has done good before and after dyno runs. With that said, I use the BMC and am very happy with it. I did some of the Fabspeed mods on my own (like removing the two screens) and I am have with that also. YMMV

    It bleeds air out of the system without letting the coolant out. Cup cars actaully run with this open all the time.

    I think it is a DIY as long as you have tools. I sent you an email...

    LOL Don... like minds :lol:

    As sentipede there are no differences except for color. If you are changing the calipers out this would be a good time to replace pads, vibrations dampers etc. since the procedure is pretty much the same. Here is a link to my Brake Pad DIY

    What model year is your car? They are slightly different with MY02 on.
