    OK, thanks Loren. This is some special grease from the dealership? I can't substitute white lithium grease instead? Is it in a spray can by chance?

    I seem to have a noise coming from a spring on the back side of the brake pedal. This spring looks like it helps bring the brake pedal back up to the top when the brake pedal is released. My question is, has anyone here had the same problem, and if so, can you just remove the spring? Or will removing the spring cause the brakes to not fully release? If I can't remove the spring, is there a way to stop the noise other than turning on the radio? Car is a 6 speed if that makes any difference in the brake pedal... I doubt it. Thanks.

    My driver side power seat is not operating from the memory or the side switch. The passenger seat is working fine though. The power mirrors do not operate either. I pulled fuses and did not see a blown fuse, maybe I missed one, will try again. Does anyone know which fuse controls the driver side seat, or does this sound like something else because the passenger seat still moves? I could look for a wire unplugged under the driver seat I guess, but the fact that the mirrors aren't working makes me thinmk that's not it. Any suggestions?

    I beleive it is 7300 rpm.

    You should have no problems. This is the setup that I have and the wheels don't rub at all.

    part # 996 505 311 04 G2X is this standard or aero? Is the GT3 different # than the aero? Thanks-

    Pardon my ignorance, but why do they have different gauges for a c2 vs c4?

    The wing is made by Techart, and I think it is either Type II or Type III. I bought it from Suncoast Porsche in Florida, it was used but it good condition and came mouted to the rear decklid and painted black. I got it for about a grand but I think they go for more than that new. Eurorev.com has a few pics and prices. It will fit any narrow body 996 either coupe or cab. Aaron

    There were a couple of requests for better pics, sorry for my lousy photography.

    Trying to decide if the price is worth the difference. Is the 3 spoke also smaller in diameter or just fatter grip? I would like a smaller diameter wheel as well as a fatter grip. Is an aftermarket wheel (RUF) or something else a good idea? They don't seem like much more $ than what the OEM 3 spoke is going for after you change the airbag and the wheel. Anyone have some advice?

    You might want to post a couple of pics- sounds like you could be missing some weatherstripping...
  12. AG996LV
    Thanks- the wing is Techart, I didn't really like the oem spoiler for the cab that much, and some of the other aftermarket wings were too agressive or big for my taste. I found this one already painted black and mounted with the whole rear decklid from Suncoast Porsche in Fla. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> can you put up a rear shot of the wind and any contact info for who you got it through, i have been trying to find a good wing with the same thoughts as you. Her you go... sorry for the delay. AG, Can you get a direct rear shot and do you have the model wing that is? I really appreciate it. Sorry for the quality of the pic- car is dirty and it is dark. Don't know the model number, only that it is Techart. I can do some better pics in the daytime later. PM me if you want.

    Definately sounds like wheel lug bolts sticking through too far. If not from extra long bolts, could be you put one on without the cone shaped washer/spacer that fits on all the lug bolts?

    Is your car a tiptronic? I've been thinking of trying to get a tiptronic steering wheel for my car and wiring the buttons up to the stereo to use them for the volume. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's a great idea- would that work? Would you have to have a certain head unit that is already wired for it?

    Yes I just bought them recently from a 6speed member. They were already painted black, just had to get the mounting hardware from the local porche dealer. I was pretty close to just buying them from Suncoast or Brandywine, but came across a deal. :D
  19. AG996LV
    Thanks, Loren
  20. AG996LV
    It didn't work. I reduced the file to 600x800, but it still says too big. Any suggestions?

    Aero bumper and sideskirts.

    I have a K&N filter and have never had any issues with the MAF. Whether or not it allows more dust through I really can't say. Performance increase... not noticable. The only benefit is never having to replace the filter again, you can just clean it and reuse it. I think biggest difference is that when it gets dirty, the airflow is not reduced as much as a dirty OEM filter.

    I have fabspeeds on a Cab. They seemed to mellow out after a while (or else I just got used to them :) ) But I remember thinking that I would get rid of them too, almost immediately after I got them. The wife bitched about them every day the first month saying the porsche now sounded like "a ridiculous honda with the stupid loud muffler" and I even called fabspeed about the resonance. It took a month or so, but the sound has now seemed to mellow out quite nicely. I also had the car insulated with dynamat when they did the stereo, which also helped with the interior sound. I don't know why, but they do sound better with a few thousand miles on them.... you might need quite a few full throttle runs to redline to break them in. :D

    I don't think you give up anything with 19's as long as they're not heavier than the stock 18's. Be careful of the weight, it makes a much bigger difference on wheels, more than just adding weight to the vehicle. If the wheels are heavier, you will notice a loss of acceleration. To get a very lightweight wheel that is also strong you will pay more. There is a difference between a $2000 set and a $5000 set. They also are more expensive because porsche has a unique bolt pattern and offset from any other make of car.

    Well I used a 5mm socket instead of 6mm and it was less than a 5 min job. :clapping: Thanks TP for the advice! Also, Dell I appreciate your offer to help since we're both in Vegas, but there was nothing to it once I got the right size socket... :thumbup: You guys are awesome!
