    Excellent. Thanks for the confirmation, Loren. I knew I could count on a solid answer here. Cheers, Chad

    Another B&M install question. Did any of you retain the square, white plastic slider from the left side of the OE shifter assembly when installing the B&M? Thanks! Chad

    There is a 3M tape that is used. Porsche supplies it but you can also get it from NAPA and your body shop. Be VERY ure that the area is stripped of all wax and material and is perfectly clean. C.

    How much time is required for a full alignment? Local shop mentioned about 5 hours. This seems to be a bit extreme. How long does it really take? I have an appointment today. Please answer as soon as possible please. Chad

    Anybody??

    Here are the chain of events. 1. Gas low, stopped to get fuel. Temp outside dropping to around 29 deg. 2. Fill tank, paid and pulled out. 3. Upon reving the engine and then letting off as I approached a stop sign...I got a strange vibration. A (best description I can think of) "bbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrr...." Felt it in my seat and the floor. 4. Turned left and rev'd hard to get through a light and continued up the road to 60/70mph. 5. Next light. I am now downshifting. Same feeling and sound as I let off the gas and then, throttle blip to downshift to 3rd (5000 on revs). "bbbbrrrrrrr" same thing. 6. I stop...then get going. from this point on...no sound or vibration. I thought this was very odd. Any ever experience this before? Upon driving to work this morning (sunny and 19 outside), nothing...nada. I am not really to concerned. If it breaks...I'll fix it. :D Just curious...clutch / flywheel perhaps? TIA, Chad
  7. Chads996
    I would say a medium - "ticka, ticka, ticka" as the clutch is let out and the car is resting at idle.

    I had a LTW fly on my last car. Loved it! A rattle is a normal thing. However...it is well worth the throttle response. I noticed a slight (butt-dyno) gain. Please note the word - slight!! This is usually due to the transfer of the reduced rotational mass to the wheels. It was very slight, but there seemed to be a little more oomph. Besides...the rev-matching was SOOOO much easier. If you have the $$, I recommend it. Eventually...I plan to do the same. Chad

    Yep...Nitrogen is used in race tires because it does not expand in the tires like normal air does when the tires heat up. The difference between the two is rather dramatic. Upon trying this at a DE, I only had to adjust the pressures from fill up. I was running Kumhos, and I am not the fastest out there. But, I did notice that when the tires heated up...they did not get greasy at the end of the session. Whereas, before...I would have to bleed off 10-15 psi just to bring the hot tires back to my preferred pressure. Nitrogen is much more consistant. Really not worth doing for the average DE'er. A full on Cup Car maybe...but the average DE'er won't be maintaining the speeds that racer's are running. Also...the Nitrogen is more applicable to full on race tires like Hoosiers vs. DOT legal R compounds. Just my .02, hope it helps. Chad

    Excellent. Thank you. C.
  11. Chads996
    Hello? <tap, tap, tap> is this thing on? :) C.
  12. Chads996
    Do I really need to pull the front wheel carriers out with the front struts? Removing the lower ball joints and releasing them seems a bit unnecessary. Is this really needed to do to swap springs? Secondly, if this IS needed to do...where can I get special tool #9560?? How much? TIA. Chad
  13. Chads996
    Nevermind. Sorry to waste the bandwidth. I just found it. cheers, Chad
  14. Chads996
    I am trying to find torque specs, etc. for the Steering wheel of my MY99 996 coupe. I have the Workshop manuals, but can't find the info. What section is it located in? Chad
  15. Chads996
    I will be trailering my tires. I am currently developing a custom bolt on hitch that will be removable at the track. Most of the tracks are failry local. The most is 7 hours. Thanks for the info. Chad
