    After 7+ years the pastic on the window guide gave up. It is hard and when I level down the window it sometimes gets stuck... from my parts list I believe it is the following 996-537 725 01. Can anyone confirm if this is the corrrect part? Also any instruction on how to replace this part?

    Another note... what is this Forum's opinion on Speed Bleeders? Has anyone used them? recommended? not? http://www.speedbleeder.com/

    Thanks everyone. I will keep you posted. I had heard about the bombaydigital page now I dont have to look for it. :D The reason for doing the brake job is in preparation for a day on the track on August 7th at Infineon (if anyone is interested http://www.nasaproracing.com/) :drive: I think I will have to do this soon after the track day... TP what is the painting of the hat comment about? looks? or protection? :help: Thanks! About drilled.. I will come out clean...it will be a poser move, but what can I say... It does look better. B)

    Good day to all. I am going to perform a brake job on my car. I want to make sure i have the correct PN and tools for this job. My car a 1997 986. One thing I want to upgrade is the steel cables for the brake lines (any special recomendations?). Hre is what I have come up as a list: rotors (zimmerman?) pads cables fuild (blue?) Please advise if there is another post that considers this as I have searched the renntech.org and have not found one. Alberto

    Not to divert the conversation on this event..but in regards to POSERs... what is the feeling about caliper painting? I like to do mine but just thta factor of poser id preventing me from doing so... Would be interested in thoughts around this... MY97 986 Silver (maybe RED possibly YELLOW).

    Thanks. After 18 cycles CEL is OFF. Thanks for the help!

    I dont think they guy gave me the codes... Can I use the OBDII from Kragen to get the codes? The one you use does not run on OS X for mac :(
  9. scherb
    My car has the buckles codes from the OBDII. What should my approach be with Porsche? This fix had been done on my car in the past. I have the dealer notes form it. Does the airbag system work when the Airbag light is on? I was told it does not... Anyone have confirmation? (hopefully not a crash experience but more of documentation?) Thanks.

    TP/Loren here is what I got from the readings. Range 2, cylinder 1 - 3 (FRA) -- 1.02 -- ±0.04 >>> 1.09 Range 2, cylinder 4 - 6 (FRA2) -- 1.03 -- ±0.05 >>>1.11 Range 1, cylinder 1 - 3 (TRA) -- 0.00 -- ±0.1 >>> 0.24 Range 1, cylinder 4 - 6 (TRA2) -- 0.00 -- ±0.1 >>> 0.25 I replaced the MAF and my CEL is still on after several Cycles... it has been 12 times I have turned on the car. :drive:
  11. scherb
    So I missed the Tech Session...and guess what I got... Yes, a CEL. :( Took it to the RMG place and people were very very friendly and helpful. :clapping: The fault code is related to the MAF sensor. Estimate to repair $500-$550. Got a better price for the part @ Sunset $267 but my question is if range 1 was 0.24 and 0.25, and Range 2 were in the 1.09 and 1.11 range... Is the sensor my only problem?
  12. scherb
    I SHALL BRING DUMBO, ISABELLA (986) AND MYSELF TO THE MONSTER GARAGE...THANKS FOR THE RESPONSES.

    MY 97 2.5L 986 grinding noise when starting the car. Sound similar to an elephant noise :eek: from experience with other cars it seems like the starter motor gets stuck or something, it grinds then the motor roars normally..never hear the sound again unless I park the car for a long period and the motor is very cold...I think... similar to this sound just shorter once it hits the high pitch level :huh: The sound of an Elephant. Any ideas on what this is?

    Quick question... with the plastic window top a Boxster owner needs to do a double chop ... 1 for the window... and 2 for the next opening of the frame. With this glass window top do you still need to do the second chop?
  15. scherb
    Yes. It is a 18x10 and yes it looks like 21mm minimum. But has anyone done this? what are the downsides? (car is not driven on the track, just street).
  16. scherb
    I got a hold of some 996 wheels. Turbo Look with a 65 offset. I need help. I have a couple of questions. 1. Has anyone used these on a 986 (MY 1997)? 2. What spacer was used? It seems I need a 20 mm spacers which makes me think that the wheel will be outside of the wheel well.... :( :help: :help: 986 2.5L MY1997 rear tires 265/35ZR18

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Fuel Filter Replacement DIY <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks
  20. scherb
    TP what tools do I need to replace the gas filter? Thanks!
  21. scherb
    I have a 1997. lots of miles got it with 82k now 89k, Maintanance and mods last year was 3k including tires ($850) and lower arm suspension ($700ish)... new key ($300) ... ($200 tools) + ($150) oil/filter change....the rest were mods... I would say you go for it... I would reccomend talking to your closest dealer and getting the service history for your car... that will tell you how much was done. oh... yeah you should defenitly become a contributing member if not more...
  22. scherb
    I would say you get a computer at your work (all autozone branches) that has a link to this Forum... you have people join and contribute... people would then have the KNOWLEDGE of renntech... as normally Autozone employees dont know that much on Porsches. :D
  23. scherb
    Thanks! Now how was your car held up for this picture? i dont see jackstands... jacks... or lift... ???

    I went to Osh and bought some door hangers and a wooden ruler and some foam. I created my own little $10 camera holder for a Sony DCP P100 (I think it is a P100). I hanged this thing from the windstop where i can get a very good view of the dash and if i want to I can move to see my self in the video.... The videos are ok.. the problem is mixing the sound and controlling the vibration you get from the rollbar. My best DIY solution has been to invest money on my girl and then she agrees to hold the camera and adds some good remarks here and there... Let me get a picture of my $10 camera holder I will post later tonite. I wont post any pictures of my expensive persian princess camera holder...

    Same here. MY97 oil level display stays on after ignition for 5-10 seconds. Another thing that I see is where the countdown to measure the oil goes to 60 seconds..sometimes more... any ideas? i always check the real oil dip stick and it is either on the top or very close to it.
