    I think it's if someone shot a load of water thru your air filter. Paul

    I once read a real good DIY on how to paint your calipers red. It sounds like your dimensions might be smaller. Paul

    The brake pads are bigger on the S. When I order bakes, I need to tell them that it is for an S car. I have plenty of pads so I just measured them and here are the numbers. The Front ones should measure 5 1/2" and the rears are 4 3/4" inches. Good luck. The hardest part of doing the brakes is removing the wheel. Paul

    I once read that the heater and the air conditioner work at the same time. Maybe the settings are not right on the heater side. Is there any difference in auto mode verses manual mode? Paul

    Try Oklahoma Foreign. Keep calling them every month. They move alot of parts. http://www.oklahomaforeign.com/ Paul

    I think the junction you need is on the passenger side near the front area of the transmission. Here is a picture. Item 17 is the starter. Paul

    Sound like you have eliminated the air and the electrical. All that is left is the fuel pump and lines. The only fuel filter is in the pump. Maybe the pump needs to warm up before it starts working right. You could exam the pump or you could measure the pressure in the lines. Last would be the fuel injectors. I had to replace them on my Nissan. They had plastic caps that would crack. Paul

    The air filter is a pain but then that are why these cars are special. Touch your maf sensor when you get it apart and make sure that it does not feel stickie. Wipe it off with a paper towel. Paul

    The tires should read the same because they are both 18". If you went with 19" then maybe it would change. The 235 number is the width of tread. The 35 is the aspect ratio of the side of the tire. What I do is go to tirerack.com. I then print out the price and go to the tire store. I tell them that I will buy the tires and have them put them on. They then make some good deals. I do not know where the speedometer gets its input. Paul

    Sounds more like a simple air filter. The light comes on when I have the oiled filter in and it is cold and wet. Put a new paper filter in and the light goes away. Are you running an oil filter? Paul

    By removing the front wheel drive shaft, you will reduce the amount of moving parts and increase torque to the rear wheels. Removing the front differential will reduce weight there by increasing power (weight to horsepower). I do not think you will notice any difference unless you take your car to the track. I think you would only shave about 10 seconds around a 2.5 mile race track. This is not worth all the work. The only benefit I could see would be removing the front axles. This would save you from replacing 4 CV boots should they crack. All CV boots crack with time. Paul

    I like you gages. Paul

    Here is a DIY. http://p-car.com/diy/alugauges/ Paul

    This is for an older car but it should get you started. http://p-car.com/diy/sus/ Paul

    You will need to remove the intake manifold to install a new sensor. You can not bend the sensor or it will break. Look for a lose connection. I think it is on the passenger side of the motor. Paul

    Dis-connecting the battery will only loose your radio settings and how you drive. All the other codes stay in the car. Paul
  18. PAULSPEED
    Sounds like something slid between the brake caliper and the wheel. Look for marks in the inner front wheels. Paul

    It is standard parts for your car. You can find them on the porsche website. Just download the pdf and go thru the pdf. This is a good starting source for parts. http://www.porsche.com/usa/accessoriesandservices/porscheservice/originalparts/originalpartscatalogue/ Paul

    Part 31 is the box. Part 32 is the screw that holds the box. Paul

    Here is a site for gages. www.nhspeedometer.com Paul

    The guy who told you not to use it should also told you what to use. The best stuff in the world to use is vaseline. It is a petroleum product that is made when coverting oil to gasoline. I use this stuff but it requires a rag to wipe off the excess. Paul

    The TRG race shop runs 18" tires on their race cars. You will need to be more detailed on the 18" wheels you want to buy. I would find the wheel you want and then ask the experts at Tirerack.com This is their business. Paul
  24. PAULSPEED
    Is there a difference between the two? Paul
  25. PAULSPEED
    Maybe a squirt of WD-40 will do the trick. Paul
