  1. Not sure what to make of this. I had my GT3 seats installed the other day. After I left, my top stopped working.

    I have both the smart top and the smart remote add ons.

    For a while now, the smart top has been acting weird as it would only put the down top half way. That would happen maybe 20% of the time. Most of the time it worked fine.

    When I hit the button for the top in the car, the windows drop a few inches and then nothing happens.

    When I hold the button on the key fob, the windows go up and down, but the top doesn't move.

    I can't imagine the seat install would have anything to do with the top. Although the smart remote module is under the driver's seat.

    I'd like to remove both modules for the time being and see how that works out.... How can I get the to the top control module in the back if I can't get the top to move? Normally you would put the top down half way and then you'd have full access to that area. Is there a manual way to operate the top?

  2. My car is doing this same thing the dealer said it was the window regulator, his cost to replace $500 $290 for the part and $200 to install. However the window regulator can be had for $175 from http://www.the-best-source.com/ I'll let you know how easy it was when I'm finished.

    Apparently there has been a price hike. I just checked the same site and it's not $239...

    did you check with sunset?

    No, not yet. I have suncoast in my backyard though. I'll give them a call.

  3. 100 Time Units is one hour.

    Realize also that some of these book times include taking the front wheels off - so if you are doing it all at the same time - the actual time will be less.

    Front pads = 80 TU

    Rear pads = 80 TU

    Brake hoses front = 30 TU

    Brake hoses rear = 30 TU

    Brake and clutch bleed/flush = 80 TU

    Thanks. So basically you can just add all the TU's up, divide by 100, and you should get the time in hours, right?

    Where did you pull that info from?

  4. stock headers from the factory, so i'm sure they're probably on there tight. maybe i'll go ahead and pay my tuner the $100 and let him screw with it. i can just see me sitting in my garage staring at the broken stud, cursing up a storm. wish i could talk the wife into why i need a lift :)

    i think i'll take your advice and spray those bolts for him though. couldn't hurt to get some pentrating oil on there.

    i obviously know what WD40 is, but what's PB blaster? is it better than WD40?

  5. i recently supercharged my 3.6 996. i'm installing a zeitronix monitoring system (boost, voltage, AF, EGT, Lamda, etc). you can check it out at www. zeitronix.com

    however, i'm only running one probe for both EGT and AF. i know it would be optimal to have an EGT and AF probe on each cylinder bank, but this monitoring system is not equipped for multiple sensors. it doesn't help any either that the two cylinder banks on the 996 exhaust system never meet. that would have been too easy :)

    so, is there a bank that runs either hotter or leaner than the other. i figure if i monitor the worst case scenario (leanest/hottest cylinder bank) i would be in good shape.

    also, where would you mount the AF and EGT sensor bungs for optimal readings?

    thanks.

    on a side note, recently dynoed the car and put down 402 RWHP and 310 foot pounds, uncorrected. not too shabby if i do say so myself :)

    anybody? Loren???
