Re: Forum Rules and Regulations: Don't be a dick
If you are a dick to other people here, and you get called out, stop. You're acting butthurt, and you look silly. Me and my ragtag group of semi-literate moderators (well, there's one guy currently, but I don't think he's confirmed his email address yet) will look out for dicks and intervene if it s...

Forum Rules and Regulations: Don't be a dick
Because Internet, there need to be some very basic ground rules. Rule 1: Don't be a dick. That's pretty much it. For clarification: * Being a smartass is different than being a dick. If you can't handle smartasses, go away. * If you ARE a dick, the stuff you write will get deleted. If you KEEP being...

So what's the point of yet another 996 site?
I know what you're thinking...it's the same thing _I_ was thinking when I was sitting here staring at my credit card. "Does the world REALLY need another 996 site?" Well, no. It didn't, but I feel like it does now. As more and more car enthusiast sites get acquired by corporate entities wi...

Site Progress and suggestions...
Since I'm making this shit up myself, progress may be a little slow until some of the slacking bastards from RL make their way over here and decide to contribute. Or, you know, I'll founder and die on my own. Whatever. Anyway, updates will be listed here. Questions and suggestions should go below; I...

The Dreaded RMS (Rear Main Seal)
Another of the very earliest 996 "problems" was an issue with the rear main seal (RMS). The RMS is located at the same rear end (toward the front of the car in a 911) of the engine. The early version of this seal was prone to leak. At the time, when yuppies were going out in the morning on...

The Dreaded IMSB
The Dreaded IMSB is the Bitcoin of automotive flaws: everyone knows it exists, and about .01% of the population can effectively articulate exactly why you should care. Here's the 996Outpost.com Not-Very-Technical Technical Brief, Intermediate Shaft Bearing edition. The intermediate shaft bearing (he...

A new community for ALL 996 enthusiasts...
After being disheartened by the way that car BB/forum sites have been going, I'm tossing my hat - and a few dollars - into the ring. I'd like to see a thriving, fun community, much like the 996 Forum on another site that shall remain unnamed used to be. I hope you'll sign up, come back, contribute, ...
