Don’t want to be a Debbie Downer but those of you making lots of volume should do some research on hearing loss due to loud noises. I wish someone had educated me when I was young. Now I’m walking...

When I changed my coolant the light flashed for a few drives while I drove around with the bleeder valve open. The directions say to idle but I felt that was wasteful. I’m not convinced you don’t...

I wouldn’t be surprised if your amp isnt working at all. Porsche is a luxury brand and comes with a powerful stereo.

Just want to add that ceramic materials are known to be poor conductors of heat. Semi Metallic pads (OEM) specifically have metallic fibers embedded in them to conduct heat away from the disc.

Those pads are probably working well. I recall Jeremy Clarkson criticizing the “no brake dust Camp” in one of the Top Gear episodes.

I’m addition, I believe that the ceramic pads don’t absorb heat as well as the OEM pads which results in higher temperatures of the disc and will result in a warped disc. The brakes are a system...

Accepting lower performance in return for a less dusty wheel doesn’t add up to me and it doesn’t have to. As was said, to each his own. But following that same philosophy why spend all the money to...

I would use a foaming engine cleaner designed for the task. You rinse it off with a hose.

There’s a reason that the OEM and race pads throw out a lot of dust. I don’t know but speculate that it’s a way if dispersing heat away from the brakes. I’m willing to live with that dust in return...

I would accept the risk on the 200 mi trip but given the consequences of a water pump failure, yours with that many miles, should be replaced.

Blue is still an OAT coolant. As it seems you're planning, I would put the right stuff back in which has a pink color to it.

Agree. A reverse polarity of 12V isn't huge and it's probably OK. When you connected the two batteries together the way I think you did, I'm thinking that you applied 24V to the electrical system...

From what I’ve read there’s a good reason Porsche used a composite impeller and I would recommend replacing with the same type of pump.

Wow! Car repair costs are going through the roof! I recently replaced my AOS and it was a real PIA. I could see $500 for the part and R&R.

How many miles are the coils and plugs? If you don't know, it's time to replace those. The vibrations you're feeling are from cylinders not firing.

There's no harm in asking prices but one can buy a low mileage 911 for that kind of money. Also, sure the mileage is low but the gaskets, seals and electronics are still 26 yrs old.
