Put some 997 sport seats in the little monster.

Re: Good Week @ 996Outpost.com

Ok, Frunk,
My wild-ass-guess is Jim Downing. Drove back in Camel GT days, nice guy, won Le Mans and hails from GA. But he’s older than Derrick Bell, so he’d be pushing 80. And he drove Mazdas. So maybe not. Unless he likes little hot rod chick magnet-mobiles.

Re: Good Week @ 996Outpost.com

Now I have been offered a first-gen 2006 Cayenne Turbo S that appears to be in good shape, except the engine... which has either a burned valve or more likely terminal bore scoring.

Re: Good Week @ 996Outpost.com

There should be several decent ones (R flave) left in SD and OC areas. I recall, bitd, there were quite a few sold there. I loved the Pegasus...

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

I took the car out out for a 30 minute drive, all nice and clean and revvy. Rung the beast out on some back roads to assess what else I could do to tweak the suspension. I could do a few things to help with power-on push, but that’s just a niggle. Got back to the house, paused for a moment to look a...

Re: Good Week @ 996Outpost.com

I got my new ignition switch in and I'm basically the maximum size a person can be to do this job lying in the foot well. Do you guys take the side vent off and come in from the side normally or just contort and reach up? I took the side cover and vent off and was not bad after that getting to the ...

Re: Jack placement rear pad C4S

What about those hockey pucks that have the metal piece that anchors in the jack pad point? Would that help find center?

It was brutal. Had to put on a long-sleeved shirt.

Don't think anyone would notice or care if Eastlake washed away.
