PNW weather, even though the 986 is garage kept - two weeks. Would be longer if I had heated seats. Passenger complaints (wife) :)

Thanks, I did pick up 996-637-041-01 with the little light. It works good. But was hoping to get something even smaller. Keys are getting heavy in the pocket. :)

I ordered 99653842300, but there is no place to put the little "pill"

Is it 99653842301? that...

Just bought a 1999 with 180k miles. Not certain the engine is original. I need to investigate that. The car is in amazing condition for miles and age. It was cheap and we plan to drive the tires...

Front trunk; remove the two side plastic covers up by the cowel area. There is a drain hole on each side. It might just be old tree needles and dirt making the water look 'rust' colored.

If I remember correctly, it's a failing door switch. It's not sensing the door is still open, thus allowing the window to go back up.

Not that spendy of a part, PITA to replace.

I've had a few 97's over the years and liked them just because they didn't have the extra air bags. I had not heard or read about the sub-frame issues before.

Before we have him start drilling holes in those headers and having bungs welded in, look closely at the 3-bolt flanges. Do those look rounded to you? They kinda do to me.
