well, as luck would have it, murphy hath struck again. replaced the inner passenger side CV joint and the noise still occurs. i've since had a chance to ride in the passenger seat with someone driving. from the driver's seat, the sound is on the right. from the passenger's seat, it's on the left. going to replace the other inner CV joint & hope that cures it. if it doesn't, i'm concerned that the only other driveline component that sits between the driver & passenger is the transmission..... question: when trying to ascertain which CV joint was bad, does anyone have a good method? i THOUGHT i'd be able to use an IR Pyrometer to take the temperature of each joint & replace the one that was really hot. oddly, none of them are really hot. after a long drive, they're all about 140F. I'm a newbie here but just thought to ask if you have checked your tyre pressure? I know it sounds dumb but there has been some discussion in the 996 forum ref transmission noise; http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...nsmission+noise Just thought to add that in-case you hadn't thought about that one?? Cheers, NN7

Hi Fishboi, My own 99 convertible (996) is currently being built as we speak (March 08). I'm hoping Olivier Jacquemond will have it completed for me by April 08. Reply to me if you want some more info, pics etc. I paid for my kit via PayPal in two parts (50/50). Just remember that the fitting of the kit can cost £10K because its not a quick slap on job, it takes time to heat, mould and fix. I'm looking forward to collecting it in April. Olivier has been very professional, and a really nice guy, you have nothing to worry about. Thanks. Just thought I would update anyone who is interested. My 996 cab to 997 conversion by Jacquemond has now been completed, I'm collecting it from Lyon this weekend. You can see a pic of the converstion here; http://jacquemond.com/english.htm. Looking forward to the next part of my conversion (updating the interior and ICE......) If anyone has some suggestions for a decent touch screen head unit and replacement speakers all round i'd appreciate it. Thanks.
