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

Which plasma cutter you looking to get? I worked as a structural welder for a few years during college at a ship yard. 90% of my cuts were made with oxy acetylene, but that remaining 10% was always done with a hypertherm.

Re: Max Jax Vs. Mid Rise Scissor Lift Vs. 4 Post

So now you need a bunch of stuff, no? I'm thinking drain barrel for oil (with a big oil funnel?), a wheeled chair high enough to work, a engine jack and transmission jack? Anything else? That's going to be cool as hell. I've got a detached, two car garage with pits in the cement bigger than a hippo...

Replaced thermostat, WP, and expansion tank in addition to flushing coolant and new hoses.

I would've cussed a lot more if it weren't for this lift. Fuggen love this thing!

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

How have I not had this all my life? Finally bought one off the truck on Monday and it filled 5 gallons in what seemed like a blink of an eye. Will be nice to take the 911 out this week; been feeling like a soccer dad driving around a 6500lb Tahoe. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/f2wLGfM6Iv3hNFr8A...

Re: Got my Oil Sample Test Back

On a serious note...I've been curious about giving liqui molly a try. I want to be a sporty driver.

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

Got to put my lift to use this weekend. Finished the coolant expansion tank (tip: removing the fuel line supply and return line makes it way easier), replacing the coolant lines, water pump, and nearly the thermostat. Have to wait for Pelican to send a replacement thermostat...their catalog told me ...

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

Skimming through forums does not equal a diagnosis. Don't throw parts at it just yet. Rich/Lean limits can be caused by a faulty MAF, but it's just as likely that you have a vacuum leak. If you have a vacuum leak and more air is getting into the system then: no stoichiometric combustion and the 02 s...

Re: Max Jax Vs. Mid Rise Scissor Lift Vs. 4 Post

I didn't read the instructions; I just made it look like the picture on the cover of the instructions. :D I actually read the instructions; several times. Since we're on the topic...they're shitty. Anyone attempting to install one of their own: Drill the anchor holes before assembling the unit. If y...
