    HI, Congrats on your new P-car... Looks just like mine expect mine has a 4 on the back. One of the best cars I have ever owned, just plan on having 1-2 thousand a year in maintenance costs. 1) How do you know this? Instead of replacing first which is not cheap ($350) Try taking it out and using some contact cleaner. That should do the trick 3) IMPO I did the 3.6 MK II Mod. It's very close to the real PSE that porsche sells for $1500-2000 but only cost me $70. Sounds great. Check out Rennlist and search for the PSE mod and read about it. Won't give you any more power but does sound 10x better. 4) IMPO not really worth it, but other will say different. Do a search and you will have a better idea of what works best for you. It really is hard to get more power out of these engines. The best mod for the price is a SSK I like the B&M should be able to find it for $199 Drive safe and enjoy Aaron

    Smoke= AOS would be my guess Squeak= Take belt off and start the car. Does the noise go away? If so it could be an Acc or pulley If noise does not go away, remove the oil cap and run the car. If the noise goes away then its the AOS Temp= The weather has been getting warmer. I say normal, but like others say clean the Radiators

    EGR Valve is right above the alternator. The valve has an electrical connection to it and it also has a soft rubber hose that conects to the throttle body. If you need to see if the ticking is coming from the EGR valve have the car running and disconnect the electrical connection. It is normal when you here the ticking from the EGR valve. The EGR does this and does not need to be replaced

    You can buy it at autozone, or similar company Link to Seafoam

    I have this up on rennlist but thought some of you might not go there. Just did the cleaning through the vacuum line. I let it sit for 7-8 min and used about 1/2 the can. The car just sucked it right up. Not that much smoke, I guess it's because I rev the ***** out of her every day. There is 1 improvement that I saw. 1. Engine running just a little smother. Back fat jiggle and RPM's confirm this. I have used Techron and never saw this kind of improvement My idle oil pressure went down 1-2 ticks. From 1.8 to 1.6 Not really sure why that is??? I'll have to see if fuel mileage improves after I finish the full tank of gas I have. In the end I’m happy with the initial results :thumbup:

    About to use seafoam and don't know which vacuum line to use. Does anyone have pictures?? Thanks Aaron

    If you notice my squeak is also engine speed related. It is coming from the trans. I just haven't had time to take it in Mine only happens when cold. Goes away after driving for a few mins. I have done all the same test as you. Belt, let engine warm up without moving,clutch,gear change. Sorry I guess this doesn't help, but know that I feel your pain
  14. evansaero
    Does it go away when the car is warm.? If so if you let it set to warm up does it go away or do you have to drive it for it to go away Could it be the Trans?

    Viper501- I thought the bose system didn't come out until 01'
  17. evansaero
    I guess it's the same as the bose home audio. When looking at a system I asked a couple questions and the snooty bose man said "We don't give out that info" MY answer was "well then :censored: " Reminds me of Sony :offtopic:

    I found this There are probably two reasons to NOT use anti-seize compounds: (1) Some experienced mechanics feel that it is then easy to overtorque and pull threads.....my answer is that one should be using a torque wrench, AND lowering the official torque (which is usually for use withOUT antiseize compound). (2) Since the use of popular antiseize compounds acts like a lubricant, the applied torque MUST be reduced...about a 1/3 reduction is roughly correct. SOME manufacturer's are concerned.......with HEAT conduction....probably feeling that the heat range of the spark plug is changed by the use of the compound. I have NOT seen this in real life situations. I have always used some sort of antiseize compound on my own spark plugs...and I have close to 530,000 miles on airheads. I've NEVER 'pulled' spark plug threads out of a cylinder head. Antiseize compounds vary in characteristics, but I have found NONE that are NOT OK at the spark plugs. ONE thing you do NOT want to do is use OIL!!!...and that includes WD40.....these will carbonize, and cause thread damage over a long period of time. NOTE: ONCE antiseize is used, it tends to work its way into the aluminum head metal....from that point on, it is best to use antiseize.

    Spark Plug Change Instructions, How to change your spark plugs by Loren has it in bold on the DIY page I'm sure he has the scoop on this
  20. evansaero
    It better be!!!! Had that same type of prob (warped rotors) with the wifes lexus rx 15000 miles and they replaced all defective rotors, no questions asked
  21. evansaero
    Do not use any anti-seize or any other lubricant on the plug threads!

    It's kind of nice getting to know one's car a little better... :cheers: Did you try the felt pad for the sunroof? Did you have any oil leaks from the o-rings spark plug tubes? I found I had 4 out of 6 tubes leaking, and it looked like the small rings were no longer round and were kind of flat. Where did you buy your parts? I spent way more than $100 for the Spark plugs ($83) alone, Fuel filter, and oil alone...

    Has anyone see them fail or go bad? anyone ever clean them? I don't think mine are bad but I pulled one out to see what type of condition it was in. I was unable to get the other rt front one out. its' suck in there It has Crap all over it
  24. evansaero
    I thought that was what you were talking about. I just don't call them pipes. Sorry You are right about the brackets Really all you have to do is put your old tips on and change out the brackets and bolt it on. So really there is no catch at all :D
  25. evansaero
    Not really sure what you mean? Are you saying the tips are different?
