Re: Porsche Classic Motor Oils?
NO ONE warned me that there would be math on this forum. My head hurts now. I'm going to lie down.

Re: What did you do to/with your 996 today?
Not so much "with" the 996 but "for" the 996: I decided to up the game and augment my existing sonic rodent devices in the garage with a new one with a larger footprint. I also picked up some repellant packs and tossed one under the Porsche. A strong scent, but a lot easier to to...

Re: Basest 996 Award
I just stumbled across this thread and thought I'd have a potential contender until I saw the previous sticker. This one is from my 99 Carrera tiptronic. More codes than I expected. I need the secret de-coder ring to take inventory.

Re: New Member Intros
Welcome! I think I would have to consider getting OFF that plane. Winter has come full-force in my area, with temperatures that are just....depressing. Hope you enjoy 996 Outpost as much as the rest of us.

Re: Bore Scoring! Who knows for whom the bell tolls...
"Bore score and seven years ago..." {you can finish the sentence.] I'm counting my blessings, as so far with my 99 M96 there is no oil consumption, no smoke, noise or exessuve exhaust tip soot. Since the weather here is crap, I'll spend some time cleaning the exhaust tips on the inside...f...

Re: Best Mod, Worst Mod
Agreed. We had to sit the grandkids last Saturday, as my daughter and her husband actually went to the Indy game. End zone seats about 12 rows back. Most of the action happened at their end, so they were really wound up about the result. This Sunday game against NE will be the Freezer Bowl. I can't ...

Re: Bore Scoring! Who knows for whom the bell tolls...
I remember seeing information about the IMS bearing situation for years, but is the bore-scoring problem something that was recently discovered? Or have I been under that virtual rock on that topic? It seems that every few years something comes along...followed quickly by an expensive fix. ;) When I...
