    Could be your pressure plate about to fail. How many miles on your clutch?

    I know it does look the same as a 996. I called Suncoast parts this morning, and they said it wouldn't fit. I offered to purchase a 996 kit for the same price, and all I heard was laughing. :-(
  3. mffarrell
    Nope! I wanted to get that deal at Suncoast, but I was informed the kit fit a 996.

    I haven't used Hanook on my 996, but I had them on my BMW 530i. They were pretty crappy tires, very noisy and wore out <15K miles. Never again...

    Does the red optical light come on only when the head unit is active, or is there a timeout that it stays on for after the head unit is off, or maybe its on all of the time (unlikely!). I noticed on my car the FO is lit all the time. Looks like you may need to take a look with a PST2 or PIWIS.

    I have a My2003 with <21K on the clock. The engine runs fine. I read some where that the spark plug maintenace interval is 60K or every 4 years. Is this true, and do I need to change my spark plugs? Thanks!

    Mine is similar. Oil sweats but no drops. My AOS was replaced by dealer a few yrs ago when my car ('03) was still under factory warranty because I complained about high oil consumption (1 quart per 1400 miles) and I didn't know it was not uncommon for these engines to consume that much at the time. However, the oil sweat returned not long after AOS replacement and my car is still consuming oil at the same rate. How much oil does your engine consume? I'm speculating that my oil consumption is because of oily air from the AOS get sucked into the throttle body and the new AOS unit the dealer put in was also defective. My 2003 uses a quart every 5000 miles.

    + 1 for PP&G paints and clear coats. Funny, I had to learn to paint all over again. In CA., it's almost impossible to purchase solvent based paints. So, I learned how to paint water based paint, using PP&G Enviobase waterborne paint, then clearcoat with PP&G Omni MC770 2.1 VOC High Gloss Urethane Clear. The learning curve wasn't too bad. The gloss/sheen is unreal.

    I added a factory Aerokit spoiler and side skirts to my MY2003 cab. a few months ago. I purchased the side skirts from Sunset Porsche for $680 and the spoiler for $950. I painted the parts myself using PP&G for about $200 in materials. Total cost was about $1850.

    I hope you find the problem and fix it. It would be funny if people start sending their engine toast back to Porsche HQ. lol

    First time at Laguna in my p-car. It was a fun way to finish out the year. How do you get track time at Laguna? Will they allow a cab without a rollbar? Thanks!

    Nice! Thanks for sharing.

    Sounds like the polarity may be reserved on the relay.

    The oil ring for the filter goes into the groove on the oil filter housing, not to the end of the filter housing. Just remove the filter housing and reseat the oil ring into the groove.
  15. mffarrell
    Got it! Thanks!

    Loren - how do you convert Porsche Book Time units to hrs. and min.? Thanks!
  17. mffarrell
    Jacking at the rear point will lift the whole side of the car, enough to lift thr front wheel off the ground.
  18. mffarrell
    Thanks Loren!

    My MY2003 has only 21K on the clock, but it just turned 8 years old. I know that the belt should be replaced at 60K mi. The belt looks fine...no cracks. Should it be replaced because of its age? Thanks!

    Why don't you just leave the 3rd brake light in place? I did when I installed a factory spoiler. I didn't want to hassle painting the cover and so on. Besides, the cover looks kind of lame. IMHO.

    A quality shop will be able to perfectly match the rest of the car. I have painted many Porsches, and it pretty straight forward to match the paint. Just find a reputable shop.
