  1. Microswitch is in the front latch mechanism. Trigger is through the Central Locking/Alarm system.
  2. The the 997 GT3 is more like the GT3 Mk1 - you remove the mounting hinge and move the mounting holes. Of course the GT3 RS is different still.
  3. Richard, You are right - if you dig down in the listing for 996 or 986 it now shows (use 997.101.212.01). I guess you should not always believe the ATP.
  4. The car is a C2 according to the VIN.
  5. Can you take a picture of your throttle body and post it here? BTW... does your car have PSM or TC (Traction Control)? Please PM me your VIN.
  6. Here is a link to remocal on a 997 - I suspect that a 987 is very similar (just a smaller cluster). http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...st&p=114651
  7. Richard, The parts list current only shows the 01 seal for new Cayennes and 997-2. It is not listed for 9x6 series cars (at this time).
  8. Sorry, PCM, NAV, NAVI whatever you want to call it can only be obtained through a dealer.
  9. Yes, as of November 15, 2008
  10. From the Porsche Technik Book: "Effects of the Sport Chrono function on the Motronic The optionally available Sport Chrono Package notably increases driving pleasure and the vehicle’s performance. The engine is also affected when the Sport Chrono button is activated. The following features are initiated: More sporty load cycle behaviour When the Sport Chrono function is selected, the transfers between acceleration and deceleration become sportier. This means that injection and ignition are switched on and off more directly when accelerating and particularly when decelerating, resulting in a more spontaneous and dynamic load cycle. More abrupt engine speed cut-off To increase driving comfort a ’gentle’ cut-off is generally used when accelerating and reaching the engine speed cut-off setting. In the process the throttle is continuously closed when approaching the limit range for speed. The Sport Chrono function facilitates additional acceleration potential through the use of an abrupt engine speed cut-off by switching off individual cylinders (injection and ignition) in a rotating fashion just shortly before the engine speed limit. The perceptible limit of acceleration lets the driver know if an upshift is executed too late. This allows the driver to learn how to identify the optimum shift point with more accuracy and to take fuller advantage of the engine’s potential for acceleration. When the Sport Chrono button is pressed, the abrupt cut-off is active in 1st to 5th gears for the manual gearbox (without Sport Chrono function only in 1st and 2nd gears) and in the manual gate “M” for Tiptronic transmission. More dynamic accelerator pedal characteristic The electronic accelerator pedal (electronic throttle) has been used on the 911 Carrera models since model year 2000. With this system, the accelerator pedal position is converted into electrical signals via potentiometers and forwarded as a control signal to the electromechanical throttle via the Motronic control module. The “conversion” between accelerator pedal angle and throttle angle is performed in the Motronic control unit. Sensitivity and hence driveability in the lower speed and load range are factors here, as is even transmission across the entire pedal or throttle travel. When the Sport Chrono button is active, a more dynamic accelerator pedal characteristic produces a more spontaneous engine response, underpinning the sporty character. This is achieved via a steeper rise for the electronic throttle characteristic by means of a shorter “conversion” between accelerator pedal and throttle angle. This means that the throttle is opened further or faster with the same accelerator pedal travel and selected Sport Chrono function (with Tiptronic S only in the manual “M” position)."
  11. Bruce knows these early cars inside and out. http://www.911handbook.com/
  12. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...post&p=6974
  13. Usually the MAF gets damaged by dirt. If you keep the air filter clean (change it before it gets dirty) your MAF will usually last longer.
  14. Find anybody over 50 in the Porsche club. (I can say that because I am over 50 :lol: )
  15. 955.505.683.00 grille -- US MSRP $64.58 It either comes unpainted or they are all the same color (it does not specify). Replacement is pretty much the same process as I described in this thread
  16. No - because the keys are programmed to the alarm/drive-block control box. You would need the keys AND their unique 40 digit codes to program them to your car.
  17. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...ost&p=59232
  18. Right rear side panel near liftgate. 14cL
  19. You will likely have to have someone that knows that vintage motors have a look at it because it was very easy to mix and match parts. I think that number signifies a 1973 E case.
  20. If the shifter is already out of alignment - then installing a new shifter will not change that. Don't they have an obligation to do the job right fix their install? They should have checked it/adjusted it when they changed the cable.
  21. If you look at one of the Order Guides in the Download section you will see an item breakdown of what is included in various leather packages.
  22. Hi Guys, This may sound trivial, but where on my 996 will I find the option codes listed? Thanks! There should be a sticker under the hood and also one stapled to the inside of the maintenance manual.
  23. In my experience even the softest setting (on any coilover I know of) is going to be firmer than Porsche stock springs.
