    I noticed yesterday on my car with PCCBs that the front brakes would make a howling noise after cooling down and semi hard braking...car only has 5200miles. It was weird never the less -

    PSE is about $6995.00 these days...hardly worth the money.....

    I went through this same exhausting exercise when I had my 996. Do you want more sound or more sound and slightly more HP? My advice is to save money and go with mufflers that do not cost a arm and a leg. Some companys want almost 2k or more for them....plain stupid in my opinion I would look at these: M&K exhaust AH Exhaust AWE If you want to spend big money look at these Tubi Fabspeed GHL If you just want sound look into the hacked up stock pipes. or look in classifieds for a used exhaust - they are available all the time.....

    This is a normal occurance on some PSS9s especially on the right side and when the strut is compressed then released. My 99 with PSS9s does this every so often,(also only on the Rt side) usually over a speed hump or exiting from a incline. The spring is binding at the top strut and making the clunking sound. Do a google search on Pss9 sounds/clunking. There supposedly is a kit offerred by Bilstein to fix this. To my knowledge there is no damage just the noise.

    here: http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=21788 bottomline - if you want a stock 996 keep it stock. It is not bad...but to me it was kind of boring after the initial thrill of owning a 996 wore off.... if you want a 996 that sounds better and has some more power - then by all means add coldair kits, plenums and exhaust do you want to tune the motor for all of it - add a ECU flash to optimize the mapping/timing - total cost should net exceed - 3000.00. And if you are a smart buyer you can get it all for less. then do you want your 996 to handle stock or better? then you are faced with other options - coilovers and swaybars...to me this was a better 1st investment to adding power. Power makes a stock 996 handle even worse IMHO because now you push the car to higher limits and the stock suspension just is not good enough, unless you desire higher amts of body roll. total cost 1900 - 2400.00 then do you like sloppy shifting? Then keep your stock shifter.....otherwise a B&M SSK (short shift kit) or for you Porsche fanatics (the Porsche SSK) will enhance the driving experience...total cost 199.00 for a B&M anything over these mods....I do not see the point. Just buy a TT

    hmmm I did not notice any power loss with just the EVOMS...but the sound definitey was changed for the better. I believe when you add any of this aftermarket crap to a 996 you have to give the ECU time to "get used to" or compensate for the changes The plenum woke it up and seems to complement the EVOMS - I guess better air flow = more power and better throttle response. My new mufflers have definitely added power and one sweet sound. I am researching Flash options now - hopefully more to come.

    I just went through this 2 weeks ago...scared the bichezit out of me. Another oil sending unit failure - oil pressure dropped then went way high then fell way low......seems to be a common issue

    when I bought my 99 996 I asked all the same questions and yes many will tell you if you are looking for 30-150 extra hp dont waste your time on anything but Superchargers and a 15k price tag. I thankfully did not listen. I have added some toys to my stock 996 that I have enjoyed the results from. The RSS plenum and EVOMS cold air intake woke up my sleeper 996. I just added aftermkt exhaust and even though the sounds is quite a bit louder than stock - it is a nice addition. I will consider a ECU flash to tie it all together, but so far I do not feel any loss of any power anywhere in the rpm range. My advice is this - if you want to spend some $$$ on upgrades, Go to the forums that offer group discounts/group buys to save some money. Anything for these P cars is ridiculously expensive compared to aftermkt mustang or vette parts. We as owners have a bullseye on our backs to pay more for everything because it says porsche...buyer beware. Most importantly....have fun doing it. Remember the Twin Turbo prices are falling quick, and will continue to drop and for mid 40s low 50s you can get all the horsepower you need.....

    Can someone tell me if a Vflow air filter is a K&N? oiled air Filter only Anyone know which K&N part number = Vflow 996 Filter? Any issues using a K&N in a VFlow intake system? My reason for asking? $38.00 K&N $79.00 Vflow thanks David

    Chuck, my tuner tells me the same thing.....fo-get-about-it regarding SC''s get a low mileage TT, and the prices are getting so low it makes since.... Until then, I am constantly telling myself to stop with the madness of adding more than I have spent for a streetcar I luv....plenum, pss9s, EVOMS, SSK which have made the stock C2 a better car than stock no doubt Chuck is there any HP benefit to a matching full exhaust system other than better sound - Cats/Header/Muffler on a C2 with my mods? I desire sound and more power....Seems that muffler only provides better sound, or header only is not the way to go if at all What products would you recommend for a C2 after going through the madness and buying a TT... And won't you end up modding it?

    I luv my "TimeBomb". It is a 1999 C2 with 28k miles, no warranty. I have only had to change a wheelbearing, MAF, some oil, and new coolant tank. I guess I need to dump it asap cause we all know it will blow up.......geez these topics are really dumb. Every used car can be a timebomb. I will say that you can buy any highend car now cheap as the used mkt is in the toilet for sellers. Buyer's beware and maybe you autocrossers need to be running non german cars :P

    I have a 1999 C2 with 23k miles. If I was to do it again, I would buy the newest 911 I could afford with a extended warranty from Porsche. I have had no engine or RMS failures ....knock on wood. But have replaced MAF sensor and had a bad water pump. You can not get a porsche ext warranty on a 1999 anymore. The car you are looking at sounds nice but is a little to high in price. You should be able to buy it in the just above low 30s to mid 30s max. Higher mileage 1999's are in the mid 20s to low 30s depending on miles. Aftermkt items add no increase to price. Run the VIN through Porshe's database to see what warranty work etc...has been done. Some of the 1999's were prone to RMS rear mainseal issues and a few had motor problems. For the 40s look for a newer 911....
  15. Yoops Racing
    great price I think
  16. Yoops Racing
    I thought the Row 030 kit included the stabilizer bars. Is this true or untrue. I heard Suncoast and Sunset sell this kit at a decent cost. Who has the best price?
