  1. i had misfires at 64k miles on my platinum plugs. i would say that 60k is the longest one should go between changes. i have an 01 C4, 6 speed.
  2. try spraying the area where the clutch appears to go into the firewall with white lithium grease. this should solve the problem.
  3. any thoughts on these? http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/results.jsp...mp;autoModClar= anyone have any experience with using them on the stock rotors?
  4. here's a very basic question: did your car come with a fixed rear wing? i've seen a rash of cars with incomplete aerokits. if you have a fixed rear spoiler without a corresponding front lip you'll experience float and the car is unsafe to drive at speed.
  5. oh geez, that's bad news. i'll certainly keep an eye out for any opportunities. i'll PM you with my email address and you can send over a resume.
  6. my understanding is that an engine needs some backpressure. bypass removes just about all of it so you'll experience some loss of torque at low RPMs. as to whether or not they'll add 12 HP, the only way to know for sure is to dyno your car with them. try getting on a dyno check the HP and then get on the dyno again without mufflers. this will show you what changes, if any, you'd experience with bypass pipes.
  7. Not sure if I can make it on Friday just yet, but I will let you guys know. Do you mean D_ck O'Dowds - 160 W. Maple - Birmingham? -Don Can't make it tonight, family in town. Let me know if everyone meets up again. Have a great weekend! We have a tentative date/time of 9:30 pm this Friday at Richards. Can you guys make it? I have to show you guys the new engine!!! It also whines like an F1 car(not really but it's in my mind). Today I drive 3.5 hours down to Wooster, OH, with new tires. Regards, Ken i'll be there sometime between 9:30 and 10.
  8. ken, thanks for the offer. if i end up with a mixed set of tires i'll keep you in mind. we should all get together before the weather gets too dicey. i'd say beers and stories would be a good idea. i might even be available this saturday.
  9. my 01 C4 has 67k miles on it. original engine, etc. still dry, no RMS, and doesn't burn oil so far *knock on wood*.
  10. sucks about the the retirement account. i feel your pain. looks like my plans for early retirement are down the tubes as well. from what i've read on other lists, you might be able to get some of the labor costs reimbursed. perhaps 1/2. good luck with that in any case. for you and DFC69, i highly recommend http://www.gilsonmotorsports.com/ as an indie mechanic. howard has a great shop and if you're a PCA member, i believe the labor rate is $70/hr. now i'm off to find winter wheels and tires for my 996. i use mine as a daily driver and intend to drive it until it falls completely apart, hopefully in 5-6 years *knock on wood*.
  11. racerken, congratulations on your new motor. I believe the '09s have the new motor design which eliminates the IMS. the '09 is a completely new engine with no IMS as such. it was described in either panorama or excellence magazine a few issues ago. the new car seems to work out all the problems in the 997/996 and hopefully will mean a new direction for porsche. ken, did you get your car back? i was at fred lavery yesterday to pickup a tail light bulb. i saw a boxster and a black 996 turbo in the service area. however, i did notice the big price drops on 08 997s and even on cayman S. 10k off of dealer list.
  12. 1) That say "canadian model" 2) I do not have the cut-outs 3) But, the porsche dealership said it is "back there" while I should take the panel off to check..... my issue is.... how do i take the panel out? Is there anyone else here who have done that before?? i never had to take out the back panel. the cutouts are there about 1/3 the way down the rear glass straight down. sometimes it's hard to see. you have to cut them out with a carpet knife or box cutter.
  13. based on the pic you only need the wire harnes and the locking hook (other than fan and hinges) I don't get it. How does it raises and lowers? I got a wire harness for the fan. Do I need a different one? the wiring harness for the OEM decklid is split. one will power the fan and wing motor, the other will power the light on the decklid.
