Thanks for the welcome! I actually started lurking here when I found the forum after I first made contact with Aaron about the car. You all seem like a great group and very helpful and forgiving too (of stupid questions, that is).
Thanks for the tip about the filter wrench, Rick. I have something similar that I used when I owned a 914 some years ago. I'll have to see if it's the same size for the box. You were referring to the filter wrench and not the drain plug, I assume?

Yes, I was refering to the oil wrench.
Here's the link (it is good starting point, but a lot of the stuff is cheaper other places):
http://www.eagleday.com/specialtools.html
They have the wrench, the center cap remover (but like I said you can make one with a coat hanger) and the radio keys are another tool if you ever plan on removing your radio from the car.
Cheers!

You don't need a whole lot of specialized tools for general maintenance. Torx, reverse Torx and a nice set of allen keys should do it. You can get that oil filter wrench at Auto Zone for something like 6 bucks but it won't be cast or have the Porsche logo on it. Check in over at Renntech.org as well. They have loads of tech info.

Thanks for the info. I have joined Renntech also, and downloaded a bunch of Tech bulletins.
Here's a pic of my '02 in turn 1 at Summit Point Raceway, a '76 with backdated bumpers to save weight........................
