    US and Canada cars are the same - not RoW. So, your car is about 20 mm higher in the front and 10 mm higher in the rear than RoW cars

    On a 997 it can only be done with a PIWIS - and only dealers or high end independent shops have them.

    The "factory" GT3 Mk2 rear wheels are: 11 J x 18 with 63 mm offset. The 11 J x 18 offset 45 mm wheels are for C4S/TT widebody cars.

    Should work if you take the wheel carriers and the brake components from a GT3 (mk1 or mk2). Only the GT3 RS gets a different wheel carrier.

    The radio will not show you the code but it will show you the serial number. From the serial number any dealer can give you the code (they may also want proof of ownership). You can get the serial number by turning on the radio. Then hold down the TP button for about 10 seconds. The radio will beep, then use the knob to scroll over and you'll see the serial number.

    000 044 700 26 is the Porsche short shifter. The housing is not included.

    If you are going to switch brands then be sure that you flush all the old out first. The Porsche (ELF) organic antifreeze does not react well with some other traditional antifreezes - that is it turns the mixture into "jello". So, I think the keys here are antifreeze thats rated for alloy engines and don't mix types.

    I think what is more important than rotor thickness is to inspect them for cracks. With cross-drilled rotors any crack 7 mm or more radiating from the edge of the rotor OR between the cross-drilled holes makes the rotor unsafe and not reusable.

    I don't know the test spec - chances are you can't get a good reading without taking it out of the circuit. Porsche recommends (in the service manual) to cut the wire and then splice in the new one and cover with heat shrink tubing. You do not need to remove the bumper these are visible under the front fenders.

    Sorry, the following is all the detail that is in the service manual...

    For a MY2000 GT3 (RoW)? Here is the parts diagram - let me know if you need the parts list too.
  15. Loren
    This has happened to at least a couple of folks here. Check the spoiler connector for corrosion. Disconnect it and clean it with a good electronics cleaner then reconnect and give it a try.

    1. Left is drivers side for US cars. 2. Depends on if you have a pin removal tool. 3. The harness side is the chassis side. 4. uh... Tool Pants has the tool info. 5. Just make sure the new lights are proper locked in place before going for a test drive. 6. Took me about 1 hour. 7. No.

    I had my first (and only) at 9619 miles in early 2002. IMHO... It all depends on your engine tolerances and the installer's skill at installation.

    It looks like it would. All the mounting hardware is the same. The big difference is in the engine compartment sound and plenum insulation. I don't know if you could patch that together to make it work...
  20. Loren
    No. Have a look at my PSE (muffler only) install DIY here.

    If the car did not have power/memory seats from the factory then it is next to impossible to put them in. Power/Memory seats are a factory option and the (main) wiring harness is different for cars ordered with that option. So you would need to either change the whole wiring harness or try to patch in all wiring for the seats. Downgrading the seats is easy if the car came with the power/memory option but upgrading is extremely difficult. If you bought the new seats from a dealer then take them back - they should know better than to sell you something that can't work.

    Sorry, I'm still waiting for the my service manual updates from Porsche (they were ordered in May 2004!). It is likely consistent with the X74 package which is 30 mm lower than stock (sport suspension) US height and 20 mm lower than stock (sport suspension) RoW height.

    Here is a thread with what I use OBD II Reader

    You will need to press off ball joint on the wheel carrier using a commercially available ball joint extractor (tie rod extractor). Do not damage the boot of the ball joint when pressing off the ball joint. If necessary, coat the boot and the ball joint extractor with tire mounting paste. Use the proper torque when installing: - to wheel carrier 56 ftlb - to carrier side section (camber eccentric) 74 ftlb The rear toe alignment will need to be redone after the change.
