    I have seen that, but I have a one button cab key so i don't think I can use the Design key. Will

    If you just want to lower the car, why not consider the ROW030? As I recall, it is a good bit cheaper and will provide lowering and stiffin the suspension and you can also change out the sway bars. Others can correct me, but I don't know why you would go with PSS9 unless you plan to adjust (corner balance) your car for the track. The benefit of PSS9 is the adjustability. In addition, I'm pretty sure that you have to have the car aligned everytime you adjust the PSS9s. My old race car had adjustable Carrera coil over suspension, but I had much greater ability to adjust the caster and camber on that car than what you have on the Pcar. Will

    I did let it completly dry out before trying to use it, but to no use. Is it safe to assume that removing the battery from my other key to try in the key that isn't working will not affect the programming of that key? Also, if it is the board that is damaged, can you buy the board seperate? If not and if it isn't the battery, I guess I will just use the key the old fashioned way. Not worth a couple hundred bucks ($100 for new transmitter and $100 for programming) just to be able use the remote to lock the doors since I do have a functional key! Will

    Okay, a few points for the record: My wife took my pants while I was in the shower (I know TMI). I always empty my pockets after I get out of the shower and in my new pants. My wife is a very successful business woman and doesn't need money found in the laundry. I probably do more housework than my wife as we have a housekeeper and about the only thing we (I) do is take out the trash. It was a rare occasion that she did laundry. We have a 16 week old baby and a 4 yo so as for sex.....you get what you get when you can get it :) That being said, how does all this get my darn key fixed? This board has been pretty light hearted lately. Must be summer :) Will

    You must have mis read my post...I said she washed the pants, not wears the pants!!

    My wife was kind enough to wash my key in my pants pocket. Now the key doesn't work. Is it likely just the battery or is it fried? TIA Will

    When I bought my car, I was able to determine the dealership who originally services the car through the CarFax report. I called the delaership and gave them my VIN and they faxed me all service records no questions asked. Not sure why they wouldn't as long as you can prove you are the current owner of the car. Will

    Assuming that your not planning on using the spark plugs and oil out of your old engine, the only part of the 60k service you wouldn't be doing is changing the air filter and visual inspections.

    As others have said, you have re opened the floodgates of opinions on this topic. You can do a search here to see the many times this issue has been debated. I recently replaced my Michelin Pilot Sports with a new set of Pilot Sports. I have been very happy with the tires. Last set wore very even, lost little traction and road noise was very good. New set have been awsome so far (`500 miles). Will

    Thanks!! What is the product called? If I wanted to order new leather who would you recommend I order it from? I have heard good things about www.gahh.com but I have not used them personally.

    I assume you are aware that you have two condensers.

    Pelican Parts lists Behr as the OEM supplier.

    I don't have your answer, but I did learn something from your post. I never realized that my car had a locking gas cap since it doesn't have a release lever. Go figure.

    I did plenty of research. What finally sold me was a post from Gert at Carnwal. He basically said PSS9's and H&R coilovers have stiffer settings than X74 and they sell them for coupes and cabs. Nobody questions when someone puts PSS9's on a cab. Now mine is an 02 cab so the structure was stiffened from the mkI model. Those with 99-01 cab's might not want to install X74. You are corret on the <'02's and that is what I was refering to. I should have clarified. I have a '99 and have decided to go ROW M030. Will
  16. whs
    I didn't think it was recommended to install a X74 on a cab. The body of the cab is not as sturdy as a coupe and the increased flex from a stiff suspension could cause damage. Not saying what you did was wrong, but others with a cab may want to do some research before making this mod. Will

    MY 99 C2 Cab 18" wheels 26.5f/26r standard suspension. I asked a similar question recently and Loren replied that whatever suspension setup you use will result in the advertised ride height. That being said, most of the advertisements I see just say how much it will lower the car. I'm not sure what the "true" ride height of my car was prior to settling and aging shocks.

    Thanks, Q-Ship986 I will stick to the plan This is the posting I was talking about Visit Paint Restorer...9th comment top to bottom. Best, Gus As it relates to clay, I have seen collectors with multi milloion dollar collections use clay on their cars. Let's be real, this isn't something you do on a monthly basis. If you use a high quality clay once a year, I don't think you have a problem. That being said, I wouldn't use clay or a polish more often than is really needed. Will

    Thanks. I ran VIN through Scouser's tool. Nice. No problem reading what the year code is... I was wondering if gurus out there have any wisdom on specific serial numbers/sequences (from my original post)..? rrspikemarty Are asking how you can tell the production date versus just the model year? If so, as Loren noted there is a sticker on the left side door that states the month and year of production. Mine for example is a '99 model year and the production date is 5/98. I don't think there is anything in the VIN that designates the production date only model year. Will

    I have held off on this thread, but figured now was a good time to jump in. Brother, I know how you feel. If it's in your blood, there is nothing like a Porsche 911! I am 41 yo and have asked for a Porsche for Christmas every year since 1982 when I first got my drivers license. I have been able to afford one of these cars for almost as many years as you have been alive. The reason I have never bought one was I could never justify it. I wouldn't have one today if my neighbor hadn't said "you can afford it, why not buy it?". I finially said it's time. That being said, last year I bought a '99 C2 Cab, but I could have easily bought an off the lot 997 Turbo. My point is, there is more in life than an awesome car. If you can't buy it and sleep at night, don't. You are a young person who apparently has good earning potential. If you can not buy this car and meet your other life goals (retirement, house....), wait until you can. I can only tell you that the satisfaction will only be that much better. Best wishes and never loose the dream! Will

    I think you have one of two issues. First the window memory has gone bad. You can push the down button until the window is all the way down and then hold for 10 seconds and then do the same thing in the up position. Second, the regulator may be bad. You can do a search here and find more info. Will

    Didn't see it in the directions, but do you need to disconnect the battery before starting. I know that other cars have airbag issues if you don't disconnect the battery and these cars are so air bag sensitive, I wasn't sure. TIA. Will
