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

I installed my Quick release steering wheel and then swapped in the factory tail lamps (thank God) Had to get new tail lamp harnesses for the lenses too. I can finally look at the back of my 911 and not cringe lol Next up is a set of 0/2 sensor emulators to see if i can get rid of my 491/492/420 Cod...

Re: Why are our engines so expensive?

That can definitely be a disease. Although I spend a lot of time looking for my next purchase and I definitely have my eye on a couple of different models to add to the stable (X1/9 and/or a 914), I adopted a new mindset in the past year that has slowed down my "buy another car" lust: I'm...

Re: Why are our engines so expensive?

That said, my wife hasn't put me out of the house yet, but I'm sure by now she's thinking about it. My son and I just bought a B5 Audi S4 Twin Turbo..... this now makes for number 12....... I am now considering counseling for my automotive hoarding/fetish issues..... B5 S4's are *drrooooooool*. I a...

Re: Why are our engines so expensive?

[/quote] In the market for a new Type R(I know DT "Butt-ugly") but interestingly fast and fun to drive. I would dump the 996 but can't. I'm either going to build another garage or store something. The wife says no more in the driveway. Cars are additive. [/quote] Can't blame you for wantin...

Re: Why are our engines so expensive?

Well, a lot of those high-tech inventions in the flat six were necessitated because of the insistence on continuing to use a flat six. A single-cam pushrod V8 is a dinosaur...just like a flat 6. As far as building monster output: building boost on a SBC is always going to be cheaper than building b...

Re: Windows dropping

Mine does this occasionally but it's only the drivers window. I also notice my interior lights come on when it does this. If I snap the inner door handle a few times it'll stop. I replaced the outer door handle micro switches on both just for the hell of it and because they're cheap. I'm thinking m...
