    I would dis-connect the battery during the snow. Use the manual key to open the car. Use the jump battery to plug into a cig. lighter to open the trunk. Re-connect the battery and use the jumper if you need. Good luck. Paul

    Make sure your second person is a good size man. Paul

    I would drain the transmission oil looking for metal parts. You have a big race track and someone might have tried to drive the course with out using the clutch. Most professional drivers have problems shifting with out the clutch. Paul

    You may just want to invest in a jumper battery. You could also drive the car more but then the roads might be snowed in Chicago. Paul

    Must of got some acid on the plastic. The acid could of been thrown by a truck. Just my guess. Paul

    They are PASM shocks. Are you looking for a Porsche part or an aftermaket part? Paul

    Looks very clean. Guess you need to upgrade to the 997-2 cable. You will thank me when it is done. Paul

    That crossmember part looks like one heavy duty part. I imagine you would need a 6 foot long torque wrench to even remove this part. I would listen to Loren and take it to a frame shop. Now if you already own a 6 foot torque wrench, then that is another story. Paul
  9. PAULSPEED
    Ask Loren any advice for the service manual. It costs a lot to get that information. You may want to get some adjustable a-arms if you need the car in perfect alignment. Should be OK if it is close. Look into GT-3 a-arms if you want to go in that direction. The stabilizer bar adjusted will not help you. I assume that is what you are calling the cross-member. A torsional brace on the top of the shock towers would not be needed in a 2008 car. Paul

    I did talk to Evoms. What they said made sense. They are not what you call a racing team yet. You just need to do your homework before you make a choice. I was just reading about how you could buy a 1,100hp Bugatti that claims to go 258mph all for only a small 2.6 million dollars. I think the supercharger I have has just gotten cheaper. Paul

    TPC has a very successful racing team. They win a lot of races. It takes a lot of money to win races. I know of another racing team that has cost a lot of money for my friend. He no longer has this racing team do his work. I do not have an answer for you. Racing takes a lot of money and maybe that is why some teams take a chance in pushing different products out onto the market. My best advice is to buy a car that has what you want, and don't get caught up in the "what it takes to make the car faster game". Paul

    I also have a TPC supercharger with no instructions. I found one person who was interested in buying a 997 supercharger kit. I told the guy to call TPC for more details. I never heard from the guy again. I agree that TPC sells this stuff and then says it is to much power and now they made the switch to turbos. The supercharger was removed because the pressure blew out the filter in the oil sender and started pumping oil back into the throttle body. Good luck with your search. Send me an email if you know someone looking for a real cheap supercharger. 997_Supercharger.pdf Maybe these pictures might help. The red car had the supercharger. Paul

    The weight are for stock brakes. The Pagrid blues have no weights. Excellent pads for DE driving. Paul
  14. PAULSPEED
    Your answer is in the 997-1 section. Paul
  15. PAULSPEED
    Leaves get between the radiators and the ac coolers. Look for leaves after you pull the front bumper. Replacing radiators should be one of the last things you do. You really need a reverse pressure machine for adding coolant fluid. The fan belt could be a bad alternator bearing. The ticking could just be a need for an oil change. Paul

    Measure the battery with a ruler and go to any parts store to get a same size battery. Still costs some money. Paul

    I would send a picture to bumper plugs. They will sell painted bumperetee's for your car. Here is their site. Good luck. http://www.bumperplugs.com/ Paul

    The 997S brakes are bigger then the 997 brakes. Paul

    Why not make a blank CD. Just make a CD and record silence. Paul

    The order of bleeding is a little off. Do both rears and then both fronts starting on the passenger side. Paul
  21. PAULSPEED
    It's OK.

    Here is a description of the electric seat. Paul
  23. PAULSPEED
    Sounds like you need a second dealer. The air bags are made of rubber so they could fail with time. Might be something you just live with. The dis-mantling of the seat could be very labor intensive. Paul
  24. PAULSPEED
    The only drains I know are the ones on the left and right of the battery. Just use a wire and push down thru the wire size hole. Paul
  25. PAULSPEED
    Cool!!!
