  1. An interesting story and not too surprising as it relates to the warranty company. The argument that could be made is that with the rebuilt engine Porsche provides a warranty thereby reducing the exposure of the after market warranty company. With this argument perhaps you should have stuck to your guns for full coverage. After all what does Chilton have to do with Porsche dealer service pricing. Another thought, should you consider canceling the after market warranty and recoup some money now that you have a 2 year warranty on the new engine.
  2. I can't find Mobil Mobilube PTX (75W-90) online at all my usual dealers. Anyone have a source or link they could provide.
  3. If you have a Pep Boys locally they should have a wrench that fits. An A251B that I bought has the 14 flat 74 MM size for 3/8" drive and it was for a Ford Focus. The key is to look for the size, 74MM and 14 Flats, not for the car application.
  4. I purchased an aluminum floor jack with a lifting capacity of 3000 lbs. from Jeg's a few years ago and have never been satisfied with it. I find that it has very little mechanical advantage when lifting the front corners. Basically it takes a lot of effort to jack the car. What recommendations do you have for a lightweight floor jack for use on a 996, Evo, and an Audi Avant? Thanks....Chaser
  5. Thanks for the quick reply and advice Tool Pants and Q-Ship. I've located the yellow one, made by Blitz, at Autozone. $8.99. -- Chaser
  6. I would appreciate any suggestions as to what kind of oil catch pan I should use to minimize creating an oily mess on my garage floor. I have a Blitz 15 Qt. Plastic oil catch pan but am concerned about the initial pressure of the oil hitting the shallow catch area of the pan. I've never changed oil on a 996 so I don't know what to expect. Thanks Chaser 03 Carrera
  7. Also, regardless of the carriers insurance claims, acquire your own. It is very inexpensive and will provide you with the comfort that if anything happens during shipment you will be covered.

  9. Nice wheels...would you be kind enough to pass on to me the manufacturer and style.
  10. Excellent "Tongue in Cheek" I'll wait patiently for the "Voluntary Recall". A great post however, giving everyone a head's up to a problem that could be extremely dangerous. I had a similar problem with my '61 356 in '74.
  11. NAPA has Mobil 1 on sale for $5.39 p/quart. 9/13/07
  12. Caveat emptor is Latin for "Let the buyer beware" Caveat venditor is Latin for "let the seller beware"
  13. I agree about the reflection problem. No I don't use ArmorAll either...who would. I suspect that most people just live with the problem. I find that the issue is exacerbated when driving in and out of sun and shade. So....anyone else find this an issue?
  14. Just a couple of thoughts. Has the 30k check been accomplished? If not will they do it as part of the purchase agreement. I would also want to see the DME readout.

  16. It's always best to buy your own insurance for the transportation of any high end or collectable car. Typically inexpensive and easily acquired. Relying on the carriers insurance can be risky or lenghy.
  17. We use a product called MicroMesh on various lenses on our aircraft. Check it out here. https://www.micro-surface.com/default.cfm?page_id=1
  18. Thanks for looking. I agree with when you add the Techron. When you now fill your gas tank it mixes the Techron properly.
  19. Are you using the 12oz. bottle of Techron?
  20. Is anyone here using a lifting device for servicing their cars. If you are will you post what you are using and your recommendations. I am looking at this scissors lift made by Mohawk. http://www.mohawklifts.com/consumer/hr6.php
  21. All this is true...but I'm sure that there is no one here who hasn't hit the limiter in 1st gear. I'm sure Porsche recognizes this as well and forgive our sins for this minor infraction unless it is all to frequent.
  22. I second your thanks to Scouser.
  23. I found this for you: Porsche Brake Light Switch Description: Brake Light Switch (At Pedal) Year: 1998 Model: 911/993 Carrera/2 Quantity: Price: $12.95 http://www2.9parts.com/parts/parts1/9parts...ch&dp=false
