Hi,

Here are some pictures of my oil change last week. I

did not use a jack to do the oil or oil filter.

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

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

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.

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

Thanks for the input folks. I have decided to leave em off. Now if i can get my wife to stop bottoming out the front end and destroying it..... ughhh

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

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

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

Hi,

I just got a boxster as a loaner car. I heard the

same noise as you discribed. I felt it was the flexing

of the car when it went over bumps. I

will let the dealer know.

Paul

Paul, I have a Racing Dynamics strut brace on my 987S. It was a simple bolt-on procedure. No changes to the battery. Brace goes in front of the battery. You may need to re-position the battery.

Work on level ground. Dry fit first. Then remove 2 of the 3 bolts per side. Install and tighten everything up.

Make sure you don't over-torque the strut bolts. I think they are 26 ft/pounds.

Hi,

I posted the link. Seems a little pricey. Looks

like it will work fine.

Thanks,

Paul

Hi,

I found this link. Has anyone done this.

Paul

Hi,

Has anyone installed a front strut brace in there 997? Did

you have to replace the battery with a smaller one? Does

the brace run over the top of the battery and you would

remove the barce to remove the battery. Did you have to grind

any of the plastic trim pieces to fit the brace.

Paul

Paul,

There is no difference between the ATE Typ 200 (gold) and the ATE Super Blue. Only the color is different - the specs are the same. Switching between blue and gold is just easier to see when you are doing a flush/bleed.

Hi Loren,

Is the Typ 200 already in the car? I do want to put racing brake

fluid in the car. I do not want to waste my time if the fluid in

the car can already be subjective to race braking temperatures. I

heard that the fluid in the car is good but I want a little bit

more protection.

I like the idea of adding blue racing fluid because I like the

way the blue racing pads work. The blue pads grab better then

the stock pads and I do not want full race pads due to

all the city driving I do.

Paul

Hi,

I will be droping off my car for the 20,000 mile

warranty next week. They told me that they will

not change the oil unless I ask them. I can change the

oil. Changing the oil is very easy. I read that

changing the oil is mandatory. I just wanted to let

everyone know.

I will pay for them to change the transmission fluids.

I do want it done right the first time. They said that

changing the transmission filter is standard for

them.

Paul

Hi,

If you burn MP-3 files then use data mode of transfer. It

sounds like you used audio mode of transfer and

you did not finalize the CD.
