+1 on FVD Brombacher. I installed the sound version and a set of Circuit Werkes secondary cat bypass pipes at the beginning of this season. It’s all bedded-in and sounds amazing. It wasn’t cheap, but...

I bought it direct from FVD. Rhonda answered the phone and was awesome to work with. She knows P-cars and had this exhaust on her 987. I got a 10% “forum discount” for mentioning that “I read online...

Thanks for the replies all. Sounds like I’ll be taking her in for an alignment. (And being more careful about removing it unsupported next time)

Rear skid plate

The snow is gone and I’m ready for another great season of top-down driving! I tackled a couple of projects this past weekend: A spark plug tube replacement to address an oil leak and subsequent...

What Particlewave said....

I had the same issue on my 2002 S passenger side. I opted to just drop in a new regulator rather than do a “fix.” I rolled the dice on a URO brand from Pelican rather...

My favorite/best value upgrade for my 986 was swapping in the factory shifter from the 987/997. Reduces throw about 10-15%. (not as much as a short shift kit, but just right in my opinion) My stock...

Our forum sponsor: pelicanparts.com has been an excellent source for the interior bits I’ve had to replace.

I just finished the 9x7 shifter upgrade. Best $100 “mod” I’ve come across. Do it! I replaced the knob with the “classic” aluminum knob from Function First. (Available from forum sponsor Pelican) The...

I've got a 2002 S...my gauges go completely dark. The only time the needles are illuminated is when the headlight switch is turned on. The interior lighting powers on and shuts down in stages on...

From May to July the Sun doesn't set! That's a lot of time to keep the top down and enjoy! It's Sunny and 63 today. I work odd hours and get the privilege of driving in to work at 4am with daylight...

The factory Haes 4x40 amp has a low-pass filter that only feeds the bass band to the doors. Your new Alpine may very well have a more powerful built in amp. Easiest and cheapest option given how far...
