    Hi, I decided that the price was not worth the investment. Paul

    Hi, What do you guys think of my Low ride? I bought this spare tire from a wrecker in Oklahoma. I have been calling them for about three months looking for a Porsche 996 spare wheel. I just got it last week and I put it on to make sure it fits. Lets hope that I never have to use it. I did not like the Idea of driving to a time trial event without a spare. Yes it does fit in the front trunk. Paul

    Hi Izzy, The 996 instructions talk about running thru the gears once you fill it up and then to retop the fluid. The instructions says you need a lift to do this which I do not own. I would do it myself if it was not for this item. Paul

    Hi, Yes the manual says to change the fluid after 60,000 miles. It also says to change the oil every 30,000 miles. Well, I am on my secound oil change and I change the oil every 10,000 miles. The old oil is very black. I figure the transmission fluid is some what dark. I plan to have the mechanic save a little bit so I can see the color. I am still waiting for the parts but when I get them, and I have the work done, I will post a picture of the color of the fluid. I really like how this car runs and I would like to make it run for some time. My last car ran for 230,000 miles but I did not race it like I race the Porsche. Paul

    hI, yES i KNOW YOU DO NOT NEED TO CHANGE THE FLUID UNTIL 60,000 BUT i AM REALLY

    HI, HOW ABOUT 21K MILES, TWO TRACK EVENTS WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE 90 DEGREES F. I FEEL THAT I HAVE TORTURED THE FLUID BUT I COULD BE WRONG. THE NEXT EVENT IS IN 23 DAYS AND I AM STILL WAITING ON THE FILTER THAT WILL SHIP FROM GERMANY. PAUL

    Hi, The car has 21,000 miles on it and I will be taking it to the track in 23 days. Paul

    Hi Scott, I am having a professional change the fluid. He told me that it is alot like changing fluid in a Audi. I do not have a lift to run the car on and add the fluid at the same time. Thank you for the friendly advice. Paul

    Hi Loren, I was at a shop yesterday and they said they do not use the Pennzoil Multi-vehicle ATF fluid. They also said that replaceing the fluid is a lot like what they do on Audi's. Do you have a ATF fluid to reccommend? Paul
  14. PAULSPEED
    Hi Loren, Thanks for the tip. I am glad that the rumor that they crack often is over. I read alot and it is hard to find the right information. Paul
  15. PAULSPEED
    Hi Loren, Thank you for the reply. Paul

    Hi, The price of the pads is high, but the price of the rotors is awesome. I read that the rotors crack after about 20,000 miles. I guess that would be 20,000 miles of track use only. Paul

    Hi Loren, I just got my blue Pagrid bakes for the rears and I put them up against the front brakes. The surface area of the rears are smaller then the fronts. I have not taken the rears off yet but was wondering if you know if Porsche designs the brakes to be bigger for the fronts compared with the rears. I will find out this weekend when I do the work. My car is a Porsche 2006 997 S. Paul
  18. PAULSPEED
    Hi, Even if you bought these brakes, you should look into the price of the pads. I would start at $5,000 as a good guess for a set of pads. Paul

    Hi If your light came on, then replace the sensors. Paul
  20. PAULSPEED
    Hi. Try the blues. they will reduce the dust. Paul
  21. PAULSPEED
    Hi Loren, I just had the front wheels off and the lowest brake pad size was .439". The numbers look good compared to an original stock pad that I replaced that had a wear down to a .260". I checked my pads pretty quickly but did not notice the stock brake duct. I will keep looking for it. I wish someone would design the GT-3 ducts with the bottoms ground off. Paul
  22. PAULSPEED
    Hi Loren, I checked with Sunset Imports and they gave me a quote for $18.12 each for brake ducts for a 997 S. They think the ducts attach on the lower control arm. They also told me that I should alredy have them on my car. Can you give me a picture of what they are trying to sell me? Thank you, Paul
  23. PAULSPEED
    Hi Loren, The more I look at them, the more I wonder how they stay on. These things would shred on some of the driveways I drive on. Do some guys grind the bottoms off so that they can drive them on city streets? I will take a closer look at the Porsche racing club cars the next time I see them. Paul
  24. PAULSPEED
    Hi Loren, Awesome picture. I will vist this site again and do some browsing. I am looking forward to meeting with you at the next time trial event in February. Thanks again. Paul
  25. PAULSPEED
    Hi Loren, Thank you for the reply. I tried looking thru the 997 PET book and could not find a picture of the brake duct. I sure would like to find a picture of this duct. Could you let me know if there is a site that shows a picture. Paul
