Re: Good Week @ 996Outpost.com

...but another bad week for RL. Baz Hart got banned. One of the world’s foremost experts on the 996 must have stepped on some sponsor’s turd-burgling, snake oil-selling toes because a man who doesn’t market or sell anything in the US was throwing out some sciency pearls of engine performance wisdom,...

Re: What did you do to/with your 996 today?

I had a few misc. errands to do today, so why not the 996? Great day for February in these here parts. A couple of highway trips reminded me that I need new tires - badly - these BF Goodrich have become really noisy after 6 years. IMG_2829.JPG [squinched eyes and clenched fists] Please start a tire...

Let us know when you find the culprit. Electrical gremlins give me the heebie-jeebies, and it's always nice to know what caused one because that's a good place to start if it ever happens to me.

Re: Battery Drain

Like gnat mentions (and 5chn3ll video), use alligator clips that are long enough for you to run them from battery out front lid between the wipers. Lay the ammeter on the windshield and close the frunk lid. Now you can lock the car with the windows open and ammeter accessible.

Re: How your 996 has changed your driving / 996 performance driving tips

I would hate to be the poor sap following me in my ‘hood while I’m playing with brake pedal to observe nose movement. You know how you try to find the sweet spot where the brake drags just the perfect amount to neutralize or weight the fronts throughout a speed range? ‘Research’ for fave corners you...
