Here is a link to car numbers.
I have used the magnetic numbers on the doors. The
magnetic ones do not stick to the hood. I always install
clear masking tape to the leading edge of the magnetic
number. The number removes easy after the event
and I peel off the masking tape from the sign and/or door
if it splits when removing.

The vinyl ones work good on the hood.

Just checked and the last Porsche plugs I bought were Bosch.

I do not remember what the gap is. I always ask for the
gap when I buy them.
All plugs are fine but I perfer NGK 1st overall. I have to look to see
what plugs I last bought for the Porsche.

Always check. New plugs should not need adjusting.

I would phone Phil at Sunset Imports.
1-800-346-0182
Maybe he could give you some good advice.

The code would suggest that the wire fell of the connector
for the motor.
I find this hard to believe because Porsche connectors are some of the
hardest connectors to take apart.

The part number for the motor is on the bottom of the motor
and should be easy to see.

I start out driving on the track with the pressure
2 psi lower on all four wheels.
After your first session you will see higher pressures
unless your tires are filled with nitrogen.
Drop to the 35 psi/45 psi for your next session.
Go to Radio Shack and buy a $20.00 surface temperature
gage. Measure the temperatures across. Try to get the same
across.
Fill up the tires before leaving the track.

You might want to drill a hole and install a
pop revit. Then you can always drill out the pop revit should you want to remove
the panels.
A few pictures would help.

You may want to leave them in to get them
painted.

This should help you take the door apart.

I saw the strut tower bolts in the sharkwerks diy.
Glad things worked out for you.

At least there might be a universal joint in the
front axle. This is an old picture of a 996 car. I
do not have a 997 4 drive on my computer.
Most universals are held in with circle clips
but I have heard of pressed in universals on
less expensive cars.
I have taken universals apart which is somewhat
easy but it is much harder putting a new one in.

Sorry to hear about your windshield. Your car does not have
much flex for being such a light car.
I would talk to a window expert when you have your
window replaced. The window is expensive but not as
expensive as a Ferrari or Lamborgini window.
Good luck.

I just drove the car 90 miles with the wing up and
then 90 miles without touching the wing button.
The wing is now down. go figure.

I saw the 110 at the racetrack but I used the 102
racing fuel that was unleaded.

Well I replaced the motor with lots of pictures. The wing
is not working right.
I had the wing all the way up and just swapped motors. It likes
only goes down about half way.
Looks like I need to remove the motor, drop the wing by hand and put motor
back on.
Any advice?

I would find a speed shop that sells racing fuel. Some
race tracks sell racing fuel.
Aviation motors are made for lead fuel to keep them
from knocking.
