    Hey DJ, what's that?
  2. JoeA
    Does anyone know what the make and model of Wheels these are?
  3. JoeA
    Well it looks like it is overfull after the change, although not my much, just above the dot. Dealer says not an issue. But it still has me wary. I really thought it was the gauge, becasue I did not see this before the Battery swap.
  4. JoeA
    Ok, Double checked, it is above the top line.
  5. JoeA
    What do you mean by 'dead full'? where on the indicator does the oil register---at the line where the upper arrow points or the 1 space above the line which the arrow points to. Does it show 'dead full' after its been driven and then re-started again after its been sitting for about 30 mins or so? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sorry, I must have been distracted when I typed that part "dead full" Before I did the battery it was right in the middle after the countdown from 5, now it is right to the top line.

    Ok, After I did the ignition switch replacement (great M&P by the way. the DIY was great) When reconnecting the battery, putting in the radio codes and making sure all the electronics worked the only item that is not working right seems to be the Oil Level indicator. Says dead full, when before I did the work it was within the marks. Is there a way to reset it? I am 90% sure it is from the battery disco/reconnect. Regards Joe

    Yeah, sorry I use the term Retrofit in my daily work. Yeah after the FACT. Is this something you had a shop do? Any suggestions. I find myself feeling the same way. Gotta be my biggest gripe with the car overall.
  8. JoeA
    Great feedback, Has anyone retrofit the exhaust into a C2?
  9. JoeA
    Is it worth doing the Sport exhaust? I have seen a lot of talk. My only complaint on my 996 without sport exhaust is that my Cayenne S sounds cooler.

    Ok, I have been looking, cannot seem to locate the instructions or opinions on the topic. I was told that one of my Struts is leaking and needs replacement. Here are my questions. 1. What type of struts are best to go with? 2. Can this be a DIY or best by professional, if DIY how difficult, do I need any special Porsche Tools. and does anyone have a link to the instructions? Any help is sincerely appreciated. I was able to sell the Wife on the Need for the new wheels and tires becasue I will need an alignment after. Woohoo. Regards, Joe

    Has anyone had an aftermarket NAV/DVD system installed that looks close to factory. I wouldnt mind going aftermarket, I just want to have an embedded screen fit instead of a pop out. Would rather it look like the PCM as much as possible. This is for my 99 996. Thanks
  12. JoeA
    programmatore Car looks real hot. I think i may re think my GT2 bumper and go for the RUF RGT. Dead-Eye, let me know how the flux capacitor works out, if you get a good deal let me know, just watch for the 88. Joe
  13. JoeA
    Thanks Eli, Appreciate it.
  14. JoeA
    Bummer, Im really considering doing it myself. I was thinking of having my father painting them, (he does boy work) I cant believe what they get for them from the dealer.
  15. JoeA
    Did you change the door pulls to?
  16. JoeA
    Ok, I have been on the site all day, trying to put together the instructions on doing the aluminum interior kit myself. Cannot seem to find the cluster surround removal instructions. I think overall my problem points in doing it myself will be the door pulls and the lids on the door. Any additonal input on this would be great, that and of course the removal of the gauge cluster surround instructions. THanks
  17. JoeA
    Loren, DO you happen to have the instructions for the Gauge surround removal? 2. Is the Upper center console (horseshoe) removal the same as in this thread for a 99, 996? 3. Are there instructions for the Gauge surround to be removed? I can't believe the prices they want to charge for this at the dealer.
  18. JoeA
    Do you have pictures of what you ended up with? I am looking to install either a PCM (if I could find a resonably priced one for my 996 or an aftermarket that looks as close to Factory as I can get. I'm sure the wife wouldnt mind watching a movie while I drive, however, I want to make sure whatever I get does not affect the overall impact to my interior.
  19. JoeA
    Acknowledged. I was told the aftermarket that they fabricate is for the 99-01. That it will fit right in, although some minor adjustments may need to be done to the lights. nothing more then centering them slightly. We also discussed this same issue of the >02 and they are fully aware and say they do these onsite themselves.
  20. JoeA
    Ok here's the deal, spoke with Neil at NRauto. Real nice guy very informative. He told me to replace the original bumper with the GT2 ( or most upgrades like the Turbo or GT3) you need to trim off 1 1/2" of the reinforcement just before the bolts. Or you can purchase a new reinforcement to replace it. I would think trimming off the reinforcement would be a good way to go. I will be going through with the change as I do body work I will take pictures along the way and try and provide a detailed M&P. Regards Joe
  21. JoeA
    I have an email into www.nrauto.com for further information on their GT2 bumper and BW Sports Limited both around $1495.
  22. JoeA
    This one would be a 99 Fitment specific for the year and model.
  23. JoeA
    I am looking to replace my stock 99 996 front bumper with a GT2 front bumper. Does anyone know if there are a particular set of side skirts that will match up. I have to sand and respray the front bumper anyone so figured I would replace it. Trying to do my upgrades on a budget. Joe
  24. JoeA
    FInally fixed, dealer had to replace window motor.

    I just gutted the center console, air vents etc. to get them painted by a friend of mine. The colour is going to be arctic silver. I'll post some pics when all has been said and done. Edit: how much it would cost @ bumperplugs to get the center trim in dashboard and the side vents painted? There was a price of $429.95 for the center console. Of course I could get the info from bumperplugs directly but I was just wondering if someone over here would know? So the idea would be compare the DIY results and price with the ones of bumperplugs - if my parts will be nice (let's hope so :) ) At this point cost estimate is around $100. So let's see if such a thing as cheap and good does in deed exist or not... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Looking forward to seeing the results, so far OEM looks to be from $1200 - 2000 just for the parts.
