I read through some old threads today and see that there is a decent method to back flushing the coolant system to try to remove the plastic bits from the old impeller. It would seem that I am not...

Thanks for the replies. I've read the Pelican write up, but they go into more detail about cleaning up after yourself than they do getting to the fuel rail, lol.

Massive fuel leak somewhere on the driver side fuel rail.

I have a 2001 986 S that has sat for a few years (covered). Everything was about as I left it, and it was running fine mechanically before I stopped driving it.

The car fired right up and idled,...

I do know that if I'd had bought it without any of it, I would have not put that stuff on there. Keep in mind I'm in my late 30s and don't have any tattoos, pretty rare in my area. Lol

Oops. Need help finding shifter frame trim.

Was just installing a short shift kit in my new to me 2001 S. Popped the shifter off (mine didn't pull right off, it had a set screw). I ordered a new boot for it too, as I was kind of prying at the...
