    Just picked up an '03 w/27K from my friend who was the original owner. Besides a steal, zero defects so far.

    For a 2003 996, everything I've read says Mobil 1 synthetic ATF is more than compatable w/the required ATF 3353. Your thoughts/experience in the synthetic ATF arena is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Denny

    Although I am not aware of the pad compositions, conventional wisdom dictates you do not need to worry about incompatable film from the previous pads. Here at my dealership (GM) we encounter this situation often when customers have cheap pads installed elsewhere and just need some OEM's. After the burnish process, things work just fine. FYI, clean the rotors with a good detergent & hot water using some steel wool during the process. Many brake cleaners have petroleium based solvents. Hope it helps, Denny

    Thanks JFP. Understood about the heavy traffic business; an open thermo is 'an open thermo' no matter what the coolant temp. And i figured the analog gage was just that; analog. One request please: Being a newbe to Renntech, I've tried to find the DIY on thermostat replacing using the search tab however, some direction w/be much appreciated. All I came up with was w/pump directions. Thanks again, the site is great!

    Thanks for your welcome, it's very much appreciated. I live here in Los Angeles and frequently visit a vacation home in one of nearby deserts. I'm a GM Service Manager & Master Tech and know exactly what a lower T-stat can add especially over the life of a vehicle. And yes, I'm truly digging driving the Ultimate! Thanks again pal.

    Hello everyone. This is my first post AND first 996 (2003 Carrera Targa) so bear with. I am interested in replacingthe OEM 186F thermostat with one around 175F. Pelican lists an aftermarket dealio at 160F which is too cold. Any suggestions and I guess more importantly, how to? Love the site, thanks! Denny
