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

Front lower control arms creaking was driving me nuts, watched a YouTube video showing how to poke a small hole into the bushing arm rubber cover and injected a lubricant. Seems to have taken care of the problem and a lot cheaper than replacing the control arms. Curious to see how long it will last.

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

I loosened the bolts and clamps that hold the muffler to the main output piping. Amazingly enough, i didn't strip them or break them off(I don't think they've ever been loosened since factory installation). I've been reading up on maybe doing a muffler delete, but don't really feel like spending any...

Re: What year is IMS "SAFE" for a 911?

No definitely not a Prius. Would be something bigger with more usable space.

I've got mine listed. Early 98 build, 90,000 miles, summer and winter wheels. $21,000 and all this could be yours.

I've got a 99 C2(build date 4/98) with the dual row design, so I don't worry about it.

Re: Good Week @ 996Outpost.com

Yeah well i swapped out my winter snow tires and wheels two weeks ago and have since received 10" of snow. Couldn't drive the car as a result more than once. One day i did and i felt like a professional drifter...

Re: Deteriorating Tool Kit Replacement

If you think the tool holder is bad, wait until you need to actually use the tools. They have literally broken to pieces while using them, making life difficult.
