This seems like a decent idea for $100, at $550 I'd rather have a new shaft. Someone above mentioned that this company has tested ONE for "12 months" and unknown mileage?! That hardly seems like enough testing to say it's better than a factory set up known to last 60-100K+ before the newer revised part numbers.

Yep. Have not spent too much time on this yet.

Sorry. No magical tips other than to lube the fitting. As strange as it may seem I have gotten into the habit of using the waterless hand cleaner like Purell. It lubes the hose like soap but evaporates very quickly for a snug fit. (used it years ago on a Jeep trail fix because that was all we had available and discovered that it seems to work well)

Hidden objects under the snow and road chemicals can destroy a nice set of large, expensive summer wheels. Quick picture of my 22" summers. You can see how the rim could easily rub up agianst a curb line hiding in snow. My 18" turbo wheels for winter. MUCH larger sidewall for deep snow interactions.

Not really a good comparison on several levels. First, Mustangs and the Brakes used on them are produced at a massively different scale. Littlerally millions of those brakes in use. Secondly, we are talking about exhaust tubing here. Available at any auto parts store and every muffler shop on every street corner in the world. Stuff hat fits every car on earth. Nothing about it is more special on a Porsche than any other car.

What is younr center display like now?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One of my lower front control arm bushings is torn. Its the rear frame end. I know most just replace the entire control arm. From looking at parts catalogs and the control arms them self it looks like the bushings can simply be pressed out and a new one pressed in. There is at least one aftermarket company making a bushing for about $48 each. The Porsche part number is 955-341-242 with about 5 versions. Some list as "Hydrolic" some as "Rubber" some as for "Turbo S) (IE8A) and some for (IE81) or "everything else". The Prosche part numbers vary in price from $30-$60 each depending on which version you want. Unfortunately they don't give physical specs or even good pictures of the parts. I'd be really curious to know why the "Turbo S" is singled out as different. Is it just a firmer, maybe more durable rubber bushing that may provide a more sporting ride? Or is the control arm itself different with a different size hole in the arm? (the "Turbo S" arm is an assembly, so hard to tell if the arm is differnet or just the bushings. Part # FWIW 955-341-018) Anyone?

2004 Cayenne Turbo. Have a torque converter pump seal leak. Need the part number and maybe any numbers for special tools or additional parts I may need to DIY. Thanks.

~1.5qt/600 miles?
Streetcrawler replied to scxtasy's topic in 9PA, 9PA1 (Cayenne, Cayenne S, Cayenne Turbo, Cayenne Turbo S)
Found this interesting link on engine oil consumption from BMW. http://www.perfectmarketaudio.com/BMW%20Oil.pdf There appear to be a lot of variables in it. I would imagine that the Cayenne has relatively loose piston ring tolerance until the engine is fully warmed up. -
So several years ago I made a Micro Suede headliner for a classic Chevy truck I built. I had a fair amount of the material left and figured I would try it out in the CTT. I only had enough to do the rear section. When I have some more time I will pull the entire headliner out and do it. Should look pretty close to the Alcantara and will only run me about $100 in material. (the non alcantara was driving me nuts). Couple of minor flaws in it. Obviously I only have the rear section done right now. Not bad for stuff I had laying around from other projects.

Looks like the button for the electronic sway bar disconnect on the advanced off road package.
-
Might be an easy one. I have a couple of good friends that are wheel manufacturers for the offroad world. Mostly higher end stuff and beadlocks but might be doable.
-
Just curious. I have been deeply envolved with the off road industry for about 15 years. Have the connections to design and produce some parts if there was any interest. I have some cool ideas for all of the following -Real rock rails -Winch mount-front. -Aux light mounts. -CB antenna mounts -Transfer case skids -Roof racks -Bumper protection. -Tow points.

Ignited posted a picture of the whole breather assembly in post #5 above. It's just a plastic breather hose that connects that T fitting to the valve covers. Look close at his picture and you can see the white T fitting at the end of the hose, that is the same fitting in my picture above.
