What did you do to/with your 996 today?
Re: What did you do to/with your 996 today?
Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.
Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

Yeah I wanted to do that in the P!g, but fucking Porsche has apparently encrypted the CAN traffic on newer models (958, 991, and 981 were the first I believe).5chn3ll wrote: ↑Thu Mar 25, 2021 10:56 am Speaking of shit you'll geek out on:

Porsche is apparently smart enough not to trust an owner.

Jeep customer service is so bad it's apparently easier to just hack the can-bus...

Re: What did you do to/with your 996 today?
My buddy has a 15 Wrangler WIllys and his oil filter housing went, causing the worst oil leak I've ever seen. He can't drive it, its so bad. Apparently this is a known issue with this series because the housing that holds the oil filter is plastic garbage.
But that's not the worst thing. The part is back ordered and his dealer may get it in a month. A month! There are knock offs on Amazon but I cannot recommend he get a part that's already an issue from some company we never heard of. So, there it sits.

Sounds like there is some money to be made by a machine shop that can replicate the part in aluminum...OceanBlue2000 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 26, 2021 7:08 amMy buddy has a 15 Wrangler WIllys and his oil filter housing went, causing the worst oil leak I've ever seen.

Ordered parts to bring the c4s out of slumber. Still waiting on the People's Republic of New Jersey to fix some of these craters though.....

Or maybe even use a 3D printer to virtually synchronize one, eh?

Re: What did you do to/with your 996 today?
Hey. If Porsche can 3D print GT3RS pistons for the 992, why not a filter housing for a crappy Jeep? Sounds like it couldn't be much worse anyway...FRUNKenstein wrote: ↑Fri Mar 26, 2021 12:50 pm
