maci911

I need some help from my fellow 911 Brothers. We just purschaed our 01 996. We love the car, except for the amount of brake dust the OEM pads produce.

Our 83 928 has OEM pads and they do not produce any dust compaired to the Pads on the 911.

I am looking for feed back on the best Street pads. Looking for low Dust Pads. Looking at Mintex Brake Pads

Thank you

Jeff

+1 on mintex just installed last week....GREAT price ....frm pelican

might be yellow bilsteins with aftermarket springs that were installed after the fact....

i got booted off rennlist and 6speed because i speak my mind.

so it is a matter of time before u get banned from renntech.......... :P

ps.......i liked ur car more with the silver rims...... :angry:

Agreed .. Plenum is a good one. I have never had a problem with a K&N filter either. But I believe this poster is considering the K&N "Cold air kit" which has been known to cause some people problems. It also requires drilling some holes in the car..

I figured but I should have been more specific. I installed my K&N cold air intake system three years ago. I have replaced my MAFS since then but I'm confident the failure was the result of age and not the filter element oil. I saw no residue on the element but it was definitely bad.

actually there are many folks out there with ruined mafs after K&N intake (including myself) luckily my CEL went of after 50 miles of K&N and i immediatly cleaned the maf and replaced the filter with AEM filter 500 miles later no CEL......... :D

With 15mm all around do you like the look? Are the fenders evenly filled?

Thanks!

Going to order the FVG kit with longer bolts.

Running 19" and lowered 30mm

15mm front spacers.

5mm rear.

18" 15mm around ,h/r with bilstein hd and h/r sways

yes going above 15mm will stick out....also depends on wheels rubber and offset

I've got an 02 C2 cab too and would like to upgrade the suspension. My last Porsche was a Boxster and it cornered like it was on rails. There's alot I love about my 911, but it tends to push the front tires and generally feels less settled when you drive it hard thru corners. From what I've been reading, lowing and upgrading the shocks and sway bars will significantly improve the cars balance. I'd like to improve the handling without making it too harsh. sounds like the two Porsche options are pretty good as well as the bilsteins. Does anyone know about the HR's. Also, would like to know opinions on swaybars to go with the bilsteins and or HR's. My experience is performance upgrades are all about the combination. Thanks

i currently run h/r with bilsteins hd and h/r sways ...to me perfect street setup not the best pic with cell

Takes about 30 min. to install.

Clutch switch is bypassed!

so will it work on a 6spd or just automatic....

Ok, thanks, I had tried searching, but wasn't searching for the right thing. So now I've read about the factory adjuster...and I guess what I'm hearing, is that the only thing to do is to find a stock shifter, reinstall it, use the factory adjustment tool, then reinstall the Schnell?

*sigh*

i have a ssk and no problems however i also installed the schnell linkage.....my suggestion is to dissasemble and look...

'02 996 Cabrio 6spd

Upgraded exhaust with Fabspeed mufflers and cats and ECU flash

Next thing is suspension

Need advice as to what is the best modification to the suspension

(shocks, coil over, struts, sway bars, etc) to help with cornering understeer, etc

THANKS in advance

it depends on application....daily driver ,track or both.....

not the best pics ,a lot of slicing and dicing was done using the oem mirror .......i still havent decided how to hook the wirind to fuse box or to the headlight ..............30$ and 2 hrs later here is the result......i like to call this invisible turn signal...........

hi just wondered what exact difference on litronic and xenon headlight on a 2001-2005 pcar.....

2000 C2 with 15 mm spacers all around

Nice job. Of course, the part I wanted to know the most about was how you put the turbo air ducts on the rear quarters, but I guess that was already done. Had somebody else already started a conversion and abandoned it?

nice ride man

i'm interested to put the rear fenders too,996 or 997 turbo so can you give the info if your rear fenders are originally 996,or they are oem turbo's and converted for taillights?

i have look the pic's and can tell precise,but the rear wheel look's pretty "inside" to me and i guess it might have the turbo width,wich i want it too

here u go........... http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforums/996-...-now-i-see.html

did the front bumper fit on the existing bumper attachments? or u needed to buy a kit to fit it?

not sure but u need turbo fenders

Just wondering where did you get the lights with harness? website? Thanks.

like ur car....what suspension ur u running

Does anyone know of someone who does the 3.4 to the 3.6 (996)engine conversion in the So Cal area?

I need a new engine for my 2000 996 cab and the 3.6 from Porsche is $2,500 cheaper than the 3.4 ($11,010) (go figure.) The 3.6 with the X-51 package is $1500 cheaper than the 3.4. What the heck is up with that?

If I was going to replace the engine thought it might be worth looking into the conversion. I know this involves reprogramming the DME and some other issues.

If anyone can refer a shop to me in my area I would appreciate it.

Thank you,

Phillip

cheaper to buy a turbo on ebay right now.....35-45k

deckman -- I would replace just the ignition switch as a DIY for now (you can buy the part from either a VW or Audi dealer, or online for much cheaper at a few days wait). It isn't nearly as complicated as replacing the entire assembly. Then if/when it fails again, you can order the ignition switch assembly online for cheaper and plan for the time to replace the entire assembly. Hopefully, the new switch alone will cure your problem and last for a few years.

i just bought ignition swith on ebay 20.00 shipping included....make sure it is either the new or old versiion

hi so if it only rms is ims maintanance and clutch sugested replaced at that time

hi is it REALLY nessecary to replace clutch while doing rms....

Which makes the car lowered - by how much?

the front sits exactly at 25inches from ground to the fender and 25.5 in rear........
