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

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.

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

Your answer is in the 997-1 section.

Paul

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.

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

It's OK.

Here is a description of the electric

seat.

Paul

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

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

Cool!!!
