  1.  Right. Sorry. 2001 with sport package. That included sport seats. The seats(when pushed back) fit under the top of the roll bar but hit the cross bar and leave a mark across the top back of the seat. Back of the seat is painted with porsches silver metallic"special"paint.  Thought I would cover top of back of seat with leather/Alcantara to cover marks and prevent any more. 

  2. I have the leather sports seats that are a clam shell type back. When the seats are pushed all the way back, It hits the roll bar leaving a marks on the back of the seat. The back is the porsche "special silver metal paint" color and as far as I can find out, no touch up paint is available. I am considering covering this area with leather. That would hide the damage and hopefully prevent more damage.

    Looked for someone selling a custom cover but to no avail, 

    Anyone tried this or have another solution?

    Thanks

  3. For those press fit knobs that absolutely will not pull off. I tried it all on 2001 s 6 speed to no avail. I had to find another way to get it off. Since I had a new one, I could afford to trash the old one. I removed the plaque on top(popped it off). I then took a box cutter and cut the leather boot cover at backside until it came off. Then took a box cutter and sliced from top to bottom on rear side the shifter until it peeled off. Cuts easy. Very quick.

  4. 2006 CTT- Has anyone wired the fog lights so they stay on all time to use as running lights?

    I generally run with lights on (black cayenne) but notice the gps is somehow hooked with the lights so when lights are on, the gps goes to night light mode. That makes it a little difficult to see. I am getting older anyhow and need all the assistance seeing that I can get. Was hoping someone had an easy switch of wires to get this done.

    Thanks

  5. I was looking for a tire to last longer than 15000 miles and came across these. Michelin all season tires at a Sam's Club. Their number 213195. 19".

    55000 warranty. Have had cheaper goodyear, bf goodrich, dunlop, etc.

    These are the best tires ever. Extremely quiet and good grip in snow and dry. I am in Michigan so I get a fair amount of snow and I drive fairly aggressive.

    Hopefully last 55000 but if not, Sam's will replace them.

    Not listed as a recommended tire for CTT(just under the load and speed rating I think) but if you are not going to do over 150 mph consistently and do not autocross your CTT, they meet all the other criteria.

    Tire Size: 275/45R19/XL Service Description: 108V Sidewall: Black Side Wall Material Number or MSPN: 4493 Rim Width (min. to max.): 8.5-10.5 Section Width: 10.75 Overall Diameter: 28.78 Tread Depth (32nds): 9.5 RPM: 723 Max Load (lbs.): 2004@50psi UTQG Rating Treadwear: 440 Traction A Temperature: A
  6. 2006CTT-

    Getting a reflection on the PCM/GPS screen when heading into the sun.

    If a light color (white shirt) or my hand ,when I reach for a dial, I get the reflection from sun off light object and can hardly read the screen.

    Have tried a couple screen type anti-reflectors but no luck yet. They only seem to dull the screen and not stop the glare.

    A properly placed black cardboard piece works but it gets in the way and kinda trailerparkish.

    Anyone had any luck with products to fix this?

    Gets hairy when in Chicago, following the GPS, headed west at sundown.

    Of course the up side is the gps will not let you get lost for long but you surly can lose a lot of time if you hit the wrong freeway.

  7. I did change the filter. A bit of crude and a few bugs in there.

    Is there an auxiliary booster fan on the 2006 CTT ac?

    I am only getting the problem when it sets in sun and heats up a lot 80+outside). As I start it, the ac starts, cool air starts blowing, then the blower kicks into "boost" mode blowing a lot of cold air. Runs that way for 30 seconds or so then the hum begins. cool air still comes out for a bit but not "boosted" as before. After a couple minutes of that, the whole ac starts shutting down and starting up with the hum and less air until the inside gets cooler. Then the ac runs fine.

    I am somewhat puzzled about the boosted air flow. Could the 1 fan have an accelerated speed?

    Thanks

    Ben
