Re: My 2002 996 "renovation" thread
For the shake at speed check the ball joints and strut mounts. Steering wheel shake at 75+? Yea, she's got some vibration right above 70mph. Funny thing, if it's hot outside (i.e. 80s+), she rides smoother. But when it's colder, she shakes at high speeds. I just had the front tires mounted and bala...

Re: My 2002 996 "renovation" thread
Man, B3, with all of that electronics repair, cleaning, rust removing, squeak chasing, etc., this 996 is fully preparing you for the joy of 928 ownership. You need to start shopping for a shark. Ha! Yea, there's a local guy trying to sell an old 928 for $5,000. I think every square inch on that thi...

Re: Good Week @ 996Outpost.com
Update: The Flu 2.0(tm) has busied itself digesting my lungs. My new diet of antibiotics and vodka appears to be turning the tide - as evidenced by the amount of blood I'm no longer hocking up - but goddamn. This sucks. Also, my plans for a weekend of wrenching on the 996 were ruined because I slep...

Re: What did you do to/with your 996 today?
I have not yet installed it, but I will be attaching this cell phone holder to the underside of the dash below the radio (GT3 console delete) to put the phone just below the radio, just ahead of the shift knob. It's got a built-in Qi charging pad, so the phone will charge whenever I'm driving. No m...

Re: My 2002 996 "renovation" thread
Wow that is coming along nicely! Thanks buddy. I know this is peanuts compared to your mechanical accomplishments, but I'm having fun makin' small improvements here and there. I'm just thankful she's running smoothly with no leaks or any of the dreaded 996 noises or tell tale signs of M96 death lur...

Re: My 2002 996 "renovation" thread
Very nice touch leaving the massive amounts of sweat droplets on the side sill in pic #3! We get it...you were working hard. :lol: hahaha! I wouldn't have been surprised if that was sweat. Was originally working on the car outside and then it started raining on me. Had to move her back inside. She ...

Re: Rusty Wing
Well, after closely examining this car as I clean it up and repair a lot of the cosmetic damage, I've come to the conclusion that this car was NOT a garage queen in spite of it's low miles. It apparently spent much time outside judging from the front headlight oxidation (which was professionally buf...

Re: Update March 25, 2018
Well, been putting this off for a while. What seems like a super easy thing to do, turned into a royal PITA. Decided to repaint the seat adjustment covers. Now, on "normal cars", this would be a simple thing of removing the knobs and popping off the panel, painting, and reattaching, but NO...
