    Christian, Thanks for this - but can you detail the instructions a little bit more? Thanks

    Hi - I am having an intermittent starting problem. Car turns over and then dies. Second or third try car starts fine - this happens maybe once a week. What is the ground strap? Where is it and how would I clean it... Thanks

    Newbie here - how do I lower the trunk lock? Thanks
  6. roadsession
    Yes it's the hood gap... now what can I do? I've adjusted the knobs clockwise as far as they'll go....

    quick update. ran the car to 75mph with top down today. (beautiful fall day today) It whistles..... I can't lower the hood below the bumper line anymore than it already is :-(

    Well i tried that - hard to hear the whistle with the window slightly open at speed - hard to tell if it disappeared or drowned out by the other noise. I will try leveling bumper with hood...but like I said my little bumpers under the hood is turned all the way clockwise on the drivers side already... and thats where it's sticking up a little

    So coming from BMW and Mercedes, I have to say the Porsche initially feels more 'nervous' at very high speeds because of the shorter wheel base and the very sensitive suspension and steering. As I drive it more I realize it is really just a more involved driving experience - and can carve the road more accurately at high speeds. It is not a cruiser - but it makes it much more fun to drive. Maybe you're just not used to it yet? In any case you should definitely get the alignment checked.

    do they make a map database for Venezuela?

    You'll love it. I'm a closet geek - so I love this thing. Check out my post here http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=30198

    Well it is the better safe than sorry: 1. I could do a complete vehicle history on your car, 2. I could use that VIN on documents, 3. It could be used by car thiefs... just too much information available... ok fixed :-)

    Ignition range (1 in this case) is the last time an over rev was recorded...so essentially the last redline incursion occurred 81 hours into operation. Oh and I would erase/cover the VIN for security reasons... Hi - what can someone do with VIN?
  15. roadsession
    I did an upgrade too http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...c=30196&hl=
  16. roadsession
    Looks good! No over revs... But looks babied - very few redlines.... BUT I have a question why is there a difference between ignition ranges and operating hours? 1502 h vs 1583 h ?

    As mentioned before I had an airbag failure warning light last week. I took the advice of Loren and others and ordered a Durametric kit. I bought the enthusiast kit and it arrived in 2 business days!!!! Awesome. I plugged it into the car and it showed the exact fault: CODE 46 - Seat Buckle. I cleared the code and went to town with an electrical contact cleaner. I am hoping this will solve it temporarily for now. I SAVED $275 that the dealer was going to charge me today! So it paid for itself instantly AND I could sleep soundly knowing I didn't have something more serious... I played with other settings. It is awesome. Highly recommended!

    I installed a double din AVIC unit couple of weeks ago. My car is a Mk2 C4 996 PRE-MOST w/Bose. I bought the double din installation kit from Eurospeed Motors http://stores.ebay.com/Euromotorspeed IT WORKED PERFECTLY. Wiring = 10 mins Trim removal = 30 mins AC control module re routing = 30 mins Microphone wiring = 5 mins Nav antenna install = 15 mins Installing cage, setter etc = 10 mins Installing unit = 10 mins Putting everything back = 30 mins Putting on beautiful trim plate that came with this kit = 5 mins I made 3 phone calls and exchanged 3 emails with Troi - who I believe is the owner of Eurospeedmotors UNBELIEVABLY helpful. Excellent support. My wife couldn't believe the look and finish. Also btw, I have confirmed (as others have as well) the stock headunit from Becker is horrible. Using all stock bose amp and speakers with my new headunit, everything has 'woken up'. ONE note: if you have 02 996 w/ factory cupholder, ditch the heat shield that comes with the kit. It won't fit. The cupholder is on a metal frame and performs the role of the heatshield. All in all, it seemed a little initimidating to do this at first, but I got it done myself with some help from Troi! if you are a little nervous, and not experienced with taking things apart, my advice is to buy this kit and go to a stereo store and tell them to install it for you... Good luck!

    You have to swap out ALL the guts.

    good question. I will try that and report back... Such a newb with these issues. I came from driving just MB's and BMW's the last 20 yrs and they're sealed like bank vaults at ridiculous speeds...

    So I ended up replacing the gas cap. The old one had a lot of cracks and splits in the Oring. TERRIBLE quality. Does anyone have hints how to reinstall the strap? Thanks
  23. roadsession
    I might try the window adjustment on this thread too http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=15869
  24. roadsession
    Reprising an old thread, but did this help alleviate wind noise? If so, what adjustments were made? Thanks
  25. roadsession
    Impossible to tell w/top down because it is apparent only at speeds above 70mph or so....and at that speed with the top down, all those noises are mixed up. Can someone tell me how the hood should line up? Mine sticks up slightly above the bumper line - an exaggerated picture is below. I tried to lower the bumper by turning the knobs clockwise but the drivers side is all the way clockwise but still sticks up a bit... ______ ...........--------- hood.....bumper......front of car
