Hoses and Parts to Cant 3rd Radiator RS Style
ltcjmramos replied to i300zxtt's topic in 996 Series Part Number Requests
If you don't get an answer here, check over on the Rennlist 996 GT3 forum. Search on viperbob as he posted the part numbers some time back. If I find the link, I'll let you know. -
Could be the holiday lights, but think even too small for those. I was very doubtful it would have anything to do with the car, but thought that perhaps there was something in line to/from the radiator as I found it under its position on the car.

Hi Was under the GT3 yesterday more firmly attaching the RS lip spoiler, and found a very small glass fuse on the ground. It's labeled (UL)3A, and is about 1/4" long. Any chance it came off the GT3? I know I never bought a fuse like that, so have no idea from where it might have come.

Thanks, lots of good info!

Hi Guys My front spoiler is loose, and pops off easily. Did a 140 mph run a couple of weekends ago, and it came very loose. I need to secure it much better. A couple of places different type of rivets are recommended for attaching the front spoiler. On Rennlist, Viperbob recommended the OE part 999 507 427 40, and someone cited a NAPA p/n 665-2388. Do you prefer one over the other? I have a bag of 999 507 497 40. Are these the standard rivets? Also, because a reinforcing bar tore out, and made some of my holes bigger, I need to drill a few holes to accommodate new locations for rivets. The holes look to me to be between 5/16" and 3/8". I assume these would be "metric" holes, so 8 mm. Can you confirm, please?

I assume the tool can be had from a dealer. Any idea what it costs? Or does anyone have one I can borrow? Jeff (Tool Pants) has one. Thanks. How do I contact him? PM through here?

Thanks. I'll assume I can continue to use the Evo linkage. Also, thinking to get a set of the stock bushings, so I can sell the B&M kit.

Hi A couple of years ago, I had a B&M short shift kit and Evo linkage installed in my '04 GT3. I now want to revert to the stock shifter. Above is a pic of the stock parts that were returned to me at the time of the B&M transplant. Two questions: 1. What other parts do I need to go back to stock; 2. Is this a fairly simple DIY? Thanks

I have 4 deg shims!! I gotta learn to read. I thought both p/n were the same with one designated "L" and the other "R." P/n's are different. I have .821. and .822. The .821 has the "L" appended to the p/n, .822 has an "R."
-
Doubt if my uneducated butt could tell, but never ran the GT3 on the track without them. I was advised at the outset that they would add downforce, so just started out with them.
-
And mine reads 996.512.822.90. Might there be a 6 deg shim?
-
Sorry, cancelled. Am in LA caring for my dad, and uncertain when I'll be returning. I'm trying to post via my BB, and have had problems accessing. Someone pls confirm the posting via email to me, pls. Jmramos@gmail.com.

Like anyone going down the "mod" road, I suggest you set your goals first. That would be in either the amount of additional power you want to make, and/or the amount of money you want to spend. In most cases, the answer to how fast do you want to go is how much money do you want to spend.

It's now set for Saturday, January 27th. Please see http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=11825, and post there your intention to participate and what work you will want to get done so we can consolidate info at the one place. Thanks

Hi It's been decided that the next Work on Cars day will begin at 9 AM, Saturday, January 27. It will be held at my home/garage in Half Moon Bay. Directions: From 880/101/280, take Hwy 92 West to Half Moon Bay Hwy 92 ends at Hwy 1 Left (South) on Hwy 1 to first stop light Right on Kelly (Tres Amigos Tacqueria on the corner) Left on Potter at third stop sign Right on Miramontes at first stop sign I'm on the right toward the end of the block 205 Miramontes From the other thread on this: Tips from past Work On Cars Days... 1. Make sure you have all of your parts - and that they are the right parts. 2. If you are changing fluids (oil, brake fluid, etc.) - plan to bring something to carry them away in. 3. Plan to clean up any spills or mess you make. 4. Help us plan ahead - tell us what you want to do. Depending on the number of people/cars we try not to take on anything that will take more than a couple of hours each. BTW, it appears I will still have my scissor lift.

I see this write-up for retrofitting cruise control to a 986 (http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=661). Would this be applicable to an '04 996 GT3?
-
I have the Motorsport ducts, which are larger than the stock ones, but they are positioned the same on each side, which I would think should be the case for the stock units.
-
Steve Have you posted over at Rennlist and/or 6speedonline? I think you'll get more action there.
-
My uneducated butt couldn't tell you if it really made a difference. I've done about 20 days of DEs with the car. The first 3-4 were with the stock wing, and I was taking it fairly easy learning how to drive a Porsche with its unique dynamics. Once I was comfortable with the car and wringing it out, the cf wing was already on. I've been told it increases downforce, and, of course, since I spent $$$, it must. BTW, I also put a set of the shims under it to further increase the downforce.
-
I have a set of shims to adjust the cant of the GT3 wing. It's p/n 996.512.822.90R (and -L). Is this the 4 deg or 8 deg shim?
-
"dark and overcast" in England? How can that be? But same here. I live on the Coast just South of San Francisco. We get more than our share of marine layer. I saw the pics over on Rennlist of the SY with its winglets painted. I really like that look, and may go that route, but, for now, I like the cf to complement my wheels.
-
Left mine cf since I have Forgeline SX3 wheels, black centers/polished rims. They complement each other. Also, have the RS vented hood, so a bit of black in the grill coverings there. too.
