    I have not heard of this kit being sold separately -- but it may be very new. My guess is that it is the oil pan parts from the X51 kit. This would include dual chamber pump an additional pickup line and two new oil partitions (to keep the oil from pulling away from the pickup during hard cornering).

    Well, there are 3 kinds of PCCB brakes and some squeal more than others. Here is how Porsche rates them for "drivability". Sport Driving/"Standard Pad" (street and sporty use): Properties: Good all-round properties, even for sporty driving. Good fading stability, e.g. when travelling along mountain passes. Suitable for racing circuits; however at very high operating temperatures there is greater wear on the pads compared with the racing pads. Identification: All pad side areas are yellow, white stripe on the pad side area of the retaining pin bores. 996 351 948 01 Front Axle Brake Pad set (= 4 pads) 996 352 948 90 Rear Axle Brake Padll set (= 4 pads) Brake Pad For Comfortable Driving (only for street use): Properties: These brake pads should only be retrofitted on customer request. Less chance of brake noise. Only suitable for normal street use. All pad side areas are black. 996 351 947 01 Front Axle Brake Pad/1 set (= 4 pads) 996 352 947 01 Rear Axle Brake Pad/1 set (= 4 pads) Brake Pad For Racing Use (only for racing or racing circuits): Properties: These pads can only be retrofitted (at the racing circuit). Not for street use. Reduced wear on the pad at high operating temperatures. All pad side areas are light green. 996 351 940 92 Front Axle Brake Pad 1 ea (Sold each, not as set) 996 352 930 90 Rear Axle Brake Pad 1 ea (Sold each, not as set)

    It depends on the tips. Some of the new (fancy) tips just bolt on the end of the tailpipe. The older versions replace the whole tailpipe where it connects to the muffler. Still it is only one clamp -- albeit not real easy to get to.

    Once you have the caliper off their are only two phillips head screws. Fronts take about 30 seconds each. The rears take a little longer because you need to release the parking brake tension on the inside (drum/shoes). Replace the rotor and then re-adjust it. Maybe 10 minutes each?

    PCCB or cast iron brakes?
  6. Loren
    Yes, it just snaps back in. If you had the defroster trim out also, then it needs to go in first. Also, make sure the defroster trim is aligned towards the doors so that it does not conflict with the alarm sensor cover.

    Not exactly what you are looking for... but nothing special here about a Porsche clutch. 1 - release lever; 2- release (or throw out) bearing; 6 - clutch disk (or driven plate); 8 - flywheel; 9 - splined drive for transmission (with needle bearing)

    You do realize that the GT3 weighs MORE than a C2 right? Your mechanic was wrong about that. :lol: Maybe his mechanic is overweight? :lol:

    On the Carrera, Porsche changed the spark plugs from 2 electrode to 4 electrode as of Nov 1998 builds. They continue to use the 4 electrode plugs but changed the heat range used. The current plug Porsche uses on all (Boxster/Carrrera) engines is Beru 14FGR 6KQU.

    You likely need the spoiler wiring harness from the TT Aerokit (also a fixed wing). The part number is: 996 612 070 30 Wiring Harness. This a simple harness that goes from the passenger side of the body (near the lid shock post) to the deck lid wiring.

    The very early builds of the MY 99 cars were built in 1998. As in any first production run there were a number changes. Early build cars most obvious identifying characteristic is orange and red tail lights instead of clear and red (nothing wrong with these they just changed them). If you are considering an early build car then ask the dealer to verify that it has had all of the Service Bulletin updates that it should have. The can easily do this by checking the VIN on the PCNA computer. And as with any I would suggest a CarFax on any vehicle you are ready to purchase. Good Luck!

    When I got my Certificate of Authenticity in 2001 they were $35. I wonder whats warrants an almost 3X increase (greed?).

    Checking Order Status?

    Hmm... my feeling has always been clean the rubber and use a dry talc compound. You don't want a grease or lubricant that is going to collect dirt and debris. Another trick I've heard is teflon tape. Applying it might be tough though. Then again, Porsche sells a lubricant for the rubber mating surfaces of the cab top to rear windows. It is: 999 917 557 00 Krytox lubricant $33 retail :eek:

    The oil pressure relief valve seal is: 996 107 123 50 The proper torque is 25 Nm. (19 ft-lbs). Here is the fuel filter on a Boxster - similar location on a Carrera (but I don't have a pic). You will need to remove the plastic belly pan to get to it. Don't forget the ground wire. ...and gasoline will run down your arm. :o

    First I want to apologize to those that have not been able to get access to Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost. There was a security foul up and some folks were told they did not have access to that page. That is now fixed and everyone should have access. What is Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost? Sunset Imports is a Porsche dealer in Oregon that is joining with RennTech.org to offer Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost (plus a small handling fee). They have some specials listed that include common maintenance kits, popular accessories and upgrades. These prices are excellent! So, is this a banner type ad? - no, RennTech.org does not receive any of the small profit they make. This is a service that Sunset is gracious enough to extend to RennTech.org users as a place to get your Porsche parts - without paying an arm and a leg. Check them out and feel free to offer your comments publicly or privately.

    I found some glove box info. I'll email it to you.

    The dash trim pieces are covered in the DIY section. Search for dash trim. Becker should have what you need as a prewired cable. You might want to check with Becker Australia. Here is a link to a Becker dealer in Australia: SoundLab Group Here is the US information (for comparison).

    222 is Traction Control (only available on MY99 C2's). 234? Are you sure it isn't 224 Limited Slip Differential? TC and LSD were always sold together.
  24. Loren
    Sounds like an exhaust manifold leak to me or a compression leak. Not good... better find a shop that can check it out. I would not drive the car - just to be safe.
  25. Loren
    At this point I'm not sure I remember... last car I did (before the DIY) was a Turbo and I can't remember if it was different or not. The larger one (30 mm) will only fit in one place so that should tell you for sure. Let me know what you find...
