Aaaand it's alive! :)
I had to change the low level audio to ISO harness, and the door speakers currently don't work (see previous post), but it's alive!

I also have a bit of a problem with Track...

I still haven't gotten to taking any pictures. But I think I've figured out how to connect antenna and amplifier power to the ISO harness. I read somewhere that the amp needs front and rear audio,...

I'll take pictures when I have the time. The problem lies, I think, with the low level output as well as the switched 12V that should go to the yellow part of the third ISO plug. I discovered that I...

So, I'm trying to connect it. I've managed to start it up, but I can't get the factory amp to start up. :P
It seems that the ISO connectors that are fitted to the head unit aren't wired up the same...

I just bought an extra muffler from a '98 to modify. It was dirt cheap and hasn't been used since 2004. I'm also trimming the fachsia for fitting my new Android head unit.

Of course, the seller never corrected this. At least I got my money back.
A new unit has been bought, though. It has also been delivered, so now I only need to find the time to install it. :)

Apparently it's a knuckle thread. The one Porsche uses (since around 1986) is called DIN 405 Rd 20 x 1/8". Which means a diameter of 20mm and a pitch of 8 threads per inch.

It's pastel yellow, colour code L12M. It's pretty rare and I like it a lot. Apparently it's hard to sell, though. There is one that has been for sale in Sweden for two years now, despite the price...

Today I gave it a good wash after the recent 800 mile trip for a track day. I also attached my new track decals.

This is awesome! A question regarding the cooling, though. Where is the air intake? And how do you make sure it's not blocked in any way?
Am I correct when I assume that since this unit will extend...

My parents used to have a 2003 S, which was brilliant. They have since replaced it with a 997 C4 and are currently considering a 991 Cabriolet.

Two years ago I was actually looking for a 944. I...

77500 km (~48k miles) so far without changing the IMS bearing. Since mine is a 2.5 -99 and had a dual row bearing from the factory, I don't plan on changing it anytime soon.

I kind of like it. It would probably look better without the vents. If you had one without the vents, you could increase the trunk volume. :D

I tried doing that, but I wasn't able to remove the plastic rivets from the inner wheel wells, so I couldn't get it off. It will have to be a winter project.

Thanks! :)
It's mounted a little too high, though, so I might replace it. Right now I'm waiting for new letters to spell "LEMON" instead. That's what my daughter has named the car. :D
