  1. Just got my baby back from TRE Motorsports. They are the BEST! I have never had such great service provided to me. I am extremely satisfied with all aspects of the service and now have found my dedicated repair shop.

    Service Manager Jeremy and Owner Dave were very helpful and answered all of my questions. Email responses took less than 30 min and everything was completed on time as promised. They never made me feel pressured to buy anything and the job was completed within 10% of the quote ( clutch slave cylinder was on its way out - charged me less to purchase and install it, than it would have cost me to buy it from Pelican parts). Pricing was the best in the area.

    Anyone looking for an independent Porsche shop should give these guys a call first.

  2. The PPI suggested that the car was test driven, yet nothing was found. Needless to say I will NEVER take my vehicle back to that Porsche shop for so much as a car wash!

    I am actually planning on doing the clutch work and flywheel myself, but for $1500 is it worth taking it to an independent porsche shop and having them do the work/warranty the work?

    I would like to gain the experience of doing it myself (have done my air filter, oil filter, spark plugs, brakes, brake flush, exhaust manifolds, mufflers all myself), but at the same time I would hate to run into a big high cost headache if i mess something up.

  3. Well, I just bought the car back in August with 25.5K miles; I had Porsche do a pre-purchase inspection and they said everything was perfect (cost me $320) - Beverly Hills Porsche. A week later when I was shifting from 1st to 2nd under heavy acceleration the clutch slipped. I took it back to Porsche and they confirmed that in fact the clutch was slipping, they said if I drive "like a normal person" I could get another 3-6months out of the clutch. Unfortunately this means I can't really use the car to its full potential, kinda defeats the purpose of owning a Porsche. I would like to just replace it now (Clutch, Flywheel and RMS) so that I can begin enjoying the car a little more.

    I have subscribed to "All data" and the instructions for replacing the clutch seem fairly simple (Great site btw)

    Changed my oil, air filter, cabin filter this weekend, plan on replacing my spark plugs and adding Schnell headers next weekend. Will try to post pictures.

  4. I'm looking into getting a 2005 low mile 911 (around 20k). Some of the posts on the forum say to steer clear of 2005 because of inherent problems. Are 2005 997s something to stay away from? Would a good low mileage 2004 996 be better or a higher mileage 2006 (I like the looks of the 997 better than 996)? Also, what are the warranties that come with the cars and has anyone got an extended warranty? Was the extended through Porsche or independent company? Thanks for any help

    I bought a 2005 997 back in August with 25K miles. I did purchase an extended warranty from my credit union, just in case something major failed on the car. My warranty covers me up to 90k miles - cost me about $1500. Put about 4k miles on it and havent had a issue (keeping my fingers crossed). I believe the biggest issue with the MY2005 is the IMS failure (not an expert but have seen several posts about this issue); I plan to do more frequent oil changes and keep up on the maintenance of the car, also a website recommended using 5W30 oil rather than 0W30 (anyone have any ideas about this?)
