    I use a 2001 C4 as a daily driver but since I'm in the south we don't get much snow. I would imagine that with appropriate tires you'd be fine.

    No noise when I turn the wheel. I only notice it at low speeds once the car is warmed up a bit. So we've got a vote for 45 Nm on both since ar38070's comments pertain to the C2. Any idea where the mount to the "side member" is?

    I've got some serious creaking and groaning from the front end on my 2001 C4. When I press directly above either shock I can replicate the noise. I was planning on checking the torque on the stabilizer bar as I found recommended in a few other posts and ran into some confusion. Here are the specs from the manual: Specifications - Front Suspension Notes Stabilizer On Side Member 65 Nm Stabilizer Mount On Stabilizer 46 Nm Stabilizer Mount At Shock-Absorber Tube And Wheel Carrier Note: Carrera 2 85 Nm Stabilizer Mount At Spring Strut Note: Carrera 4/911 GT3 46 Nm Stabilizer Mating Bearing On Spring Strut Note: (lock nut) 911 GT3 50 Nm Here's a picture of the connections in the shock area: If I'm trying to torque the bolts on part #19, which torque values do I use 46 Nm on both or 46 Nm on one and 65 Nm on the other. Where is the connection to the "side member"?

    Porsche of Greenville has done good by me on parts as well. Generally if I give them the lowest price I find on parts from other dealers they're willing to match it....

    I've known a number of people that have run toulene successfully in high horsepower MKiV Supra applications. In those cases the high level of boost requireded the additional octane. The general consensus was that it works fine, but blending in 100 octane fuel is more convenient and nearly the same cost....
  6. Ubermensch
    Yes, mixing 100 octane to reach 93 is probably your best bet. You can also add toulene to your fuel to reach 93 or higher octane. Search the web for links on toulene blending to do things safely. Edit: I wrote methanol but I was thinking toulene....methanol injection is another more complex way of getting some additional octane but it's more of a cooling, detonation supressant than purely an octane booster.
