    The oval area betweeen the polished rim and the central pipe was painted black from the factory. Enjoy your new ride! :cheers:

    may be you can play around with tire pressure a bit to see if that helps. I am happy with 36/40 ( Porsche recommmended 36/44 for C4S ) :thumbup:
  3. SFBayArea Jimmy
    Exactly. The Cayman should be judged on it's own merit :soapbox: Viper501, Thank you for the video :thumbup:
  4. SFBayArea Jimmy
    It added 5 ponnies :eek:

    The difference between the max/min is about 1.3 qt. According to P. and the gauge measurement is linear. You should be fine. :cheers:
  6. SFBayArea Jimmy
    Yeah, the current GT3 is as close to the spirit of the 911 RS America as you can get and better in every respect... except $. May be the rumoured Cayman Club Sport? :P

    The 'prespective' is that the auto market has changed and I am just glad they are still around..... and more importantly, Porsche is still making CarreraGTs, GT3s, B-Turbos,C4Ss,997Ss..... I mean what other 'car' would you rather drive? :cheers:
  8. SFBayArea Jimmy
    Right On! :cheers:

    This happened to me a couple of times but the other times it worked Ok. too lazy to bring it in... I'll wait for the annual checkup. :drive:

    according to the owner's manual p.247, technical data: 265/35 18 snow tires go with 10J x 18 Rims with 47mm rim offset. a set of new snow tires last at least 2 to 3 seasons, I think the time, the hassle and $ spend for tires mounting & balancing each and every season will pay for a new set of rims. :cheers:

    I had tried both PS N1 & SO3 on my 2000 C2, they both are excellent choices, the SO3s have a slight edge in the wet & a somewhat quieter on certain concrete road surfaces in the Bayarea but I'd prefer the precise response & road feel of the PS. I have heard the new PS2 is the tire to kill for but haven't tried it. I am also very happy with the PS N1 rib on my C4S. Whichever you choose, get the same brand and same N rating tire for the 4 corners. :drive:

    Assumption is the mother of all Sins :eek: but you are correct in this case, we've got this stuff too in the cold winter months, yes even in CA. :drive:

    I'm with Tool Pants, no sweat. Amsoil 20W-50 is a high performance synthetic motor oil, very comparable with Mobil 15W-50 which is recommanded by Porsche for areas with ambient temperatures higher than 50F. :cheers:

    Techron is great for cleaning out carbon & gum deposits but reported having issues with oil contamination. Just to be safe, do the treatment right BEFORE oil change. So far, I have not setting off any engine codes. :cheers:
  15. SFBayArea Jimmy
    The front wheel will fit perfectly. But you'll need wheels with 63mm rim offset for the rear - The rear wheel from the C4S (with 45mm offset) will not fit. B) :cheers:
