The position of the immobilizer box/CLU being at the lowest point of the floor under the driver's seat. Considering the possibilities of the floor getting wet in a convertible, that's just bad risk management. Under the dash, or back with the DME would make more sense. ...Oh, and a 3.6L+ engine.

There is only 1 inherent defect in a 986 "S". Undersized pistons! FIFM. Improper care & feeding are the cause of any other issues.

Hello BY, what is the size of the pistons on this picture?

The reason I am asking it's because the liners seem to have a very generous wall thickness, are these stock cylinders or are they the 3.6 or 3.8 LN Nickies?

Thank you!

Obviously, you need a bigger spoiler.

Drop a brand new 3.6 with the IMS solution pre installed in mine free of charge and I'd be good.
