Re: 991.1 pricing
Well, my friend "B-Ran" (what kind of name is that anyway? hahaha), :lol: it all boils down to what satisfies your itch in life. You'll never find a U-Haul being pulled by a hearse, but nothing wrong with buying some "man toys" along the way as long as they don't become a sicken...

991.1 pricing
So first off, I adore my humble little 996 and don’t plan on selling her anytime soon. Most likely will drive her until she explodes for glory. But seeing early 991 prices drop to the mid to low fifties has me thinking. Perhaps in a few more years they will be down to low 40s? That and the idea that...

Re: What did you do to/with your 996 today?
Warmed mine up on the way to 7-11 for caffeine infusion, then ragged it out to Gillespie Field to watch the airborne volkswagens try to kill each other. Parked next to a Subie - those 4-banger boxers sound horrible. Worse than the Nissan 350s/370s. Riding in one of those WRX w/ fart cans must feel ...

Re: Plastic chain ramp guide thingies
I guess the natural first question for me would be is variocam chain guides the only source of plastic in oil? IF you haven't already compared to pics online, like say, some other place, and self-diagnosed, definitely post pics so that the experts can verify for you that this is the path you need t...

Plastic chain ramp guide thingies
So I’ve noticed some plastic bits in my oil filter over the last few oil changes. Nothing crazy, and sorry no pics right now, but enough that I know I’ll need to change the variocam chain guides. My question is, if anyone has had these replaced how much was the labor cost? I know the guides themselv...

Re: Problem with session cookies
...and don't forget to 'count to ten' after unplugging your network. Or how about 'let's reload everything to back to default' so you can spend dozens of hours rebuilding an entire system rather than having someone, you know, actually troubleshoot the problem? Back in my Microsoft cpu days I had a ...

Re: Light weight flywheels
But anyhow, I’ve heard many different things about the LWF. From doom and gloom to people who have had them tens of thousands of miles and many track days and no issues. And as far as the doom and gloom goes I’ve really only found that one post by Jake Raby. Any one here ever used them or know any o...

Re: Light weight flywheels
From what I have read, the light weight flywheels cause abbie normal vibrations on the crankshaft, thus expediting demise of the crankshaft and all internal engine components when it implodes. The dual mass flywheel dampens vibration, thereby saving the engine from internal destruction. Porsche eng...

Re: Light weight flywheels
B3, respectfully I have to ask, why do you post videos of flying wheels that are so obviously dual mass flying wheels and not light weight single mass flying wheels? Ugh, the internet scare mongers never sleep
