Try Oklahoma Foreign.

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?

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

Stock. Have you seen the nice unit already present in the car? It's hidden under the plastic valences. FYI.....same setup in the cups!

I like you gages.

Paul

Here is a DIY.

This is for an older car but it should get you started.

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

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.

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

Here is a site for gages.

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

Is there a difference between the two?

Paul

Maybe a squirt of WD-40 will do the trick.

Paul

Glad you fixed it. It alsays feels good to fix things.

Paul

A GT-3 always has a little problem with the clutch. You just live

with it knowing that you are driving a race car for the street.

Paul

The only other thing I would recommend is dis-connect the battery

for 5 minutes. You will need to teach the car how you drive and

reset all your radio stations. Hope this works.

Paul

Are you sure you connected the air bag connection in the door?

Paul

I think your going to have to play with it. There

are some nuts and bolts to get to with the window up.

The cover for the door comes off with the window down.
