    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    Hi, Here is a picture of a factory installed fire extinguisher in a 997 S. It looks different then your halon picture. Paul

    Hi, Loren says that there are brake cooling ducts for 997 and GT-3 cars. He says the GT-3 ducts are bigger. I am thinking that 997 brake ducts would be a cool thing to add. Anybody done any shopping for brake ducts? Paul

    Hi, Here are some pictures of my oil change last week. I did not use a jack to do the oil or oil filter. Paul

    Hi Loren, After driving the car, every thing works fine. Both PSM and PASM failures do not show any more. What is amazing is the radio frequiencies are still the same after disconnecting the battery. Paul
  12. PAULSPEED
    Hi Loren, I disconnected the battery for five minutes and the engine warning light is off. My car now shows two failures. The PSM and the PASM are both in failure mode. I replaced the stock brakes with Blue brakes and zip tied the senors out of the way. Do You have any sugestions? Thank you for helping me with the engine warning light because I would want that to work more than the PSM and the PASM lights. Paul
  13. PAULSPEED
    Hi Loren, No I have not disconnected the battery. I will do this and report back to you. Paul

    Hi does anyone know how to reset the engine warning light without a PST2 device? I just did an oil change and the light came on. Paul

    Hi, I satarted the motor with seven new quarts of oil in the motor. The engine lite came on and it will not turn off. Last time I changed the oil, I started the motor with eight quarts in it. Do not start the motor with seven quarts. I need to buy the tool to reset the engine warning light. Paul

    Hi, I got this from Loren. He says the 996 transmission fluid change is just like the 997 change. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=6203 Paul
  17. PAULSPEED
    Hi, I would post this question in the 996 forum. You will probably get your answer. Paul

    Hi, Your car has three oil pumps. I just start it up and start driving. You can get full acceleration after the needles move up to normal range. Check your owner's manual. Paul

    Hi, I had to show my wife how to not bottom the front end. She will tend to not drive it as much once she figures out what a hassle it is to drive. Paul

    Hi Nick, Thank you for the information. I am sure that the 6KQ plug and the 5KQ plug are very close to each other. Just like to know what other people would put in their car. Paul

    Hi, Here are the spark plug choices for the 997. The second one is the factory spec. spark plug. Is one hotter then the other and which one will make your car go fast when it is 90 degrees farenheit outside? 6 ea 999 170 207 91 Spark Plugs (Beru 14FGR 6KQU) MY99-MY01 or 6 ea 999 170 223 90 Spark Plugs (Beru FGR 5KQE0) MY02- Paul

    Hi, I do realize this but I also know that I am beating the **** out of the car at the track and any preventive maintence will help. Paul

    Hi, I just had my car into the dealer for the 20,000 mile check up. This car is so much fun to drive. I probably drove down to La Honda about a dozen times. Paul
  24. PAULSPEED
    Hi Loren, Thank you for the instruction. I knew that this would be some work to do and I will have a professional do this. Do you have great pictures like this for changing the spark plugs? Paul
  25. PAULSPEED
    Hi, I had my car into the dealer and he quoted me a price of 250 for the tiptonic filter and 500 for replacing the fluids. I have a 2006 997 S with a Tiptonic Transmission. What is a resonable cost to do this work? I am planing to contact Sunset for the price of parts. I heard from a private shop that the transmission fluid is very special. Paul
