It’s not quite that easy. Your best bet, if you don’t know what the coolant is, is to go ahead bite the bullet, fully drain, then flush and put the Porsche stuff in. Coolant is just a pain in the ass...

Yeah, K&N isn’t the best idea for these cars. I’m with the rest. Mine had one and the intake was a mess. Doesn’t take much to over oil them. I pulled mine, put in a stock Porsche filter and never...

No, I wouldn’t do it annually. Think about it, how many years/miles have yours been installed? Mine were 60k and 17. So, I’m thinking belt, check pulleys, maybe annually. Pulley refresh? MAYBE 10-15k...

How in the world does this happen and not break the bead/seal? Are the tires getting hot enough to somehow soften the bead enough to allow this? That’s pretty crazy. I’ll have to mark mine next time...

I drove my 911 for about 10 years as a daily, with the exception of really deep snowy and very icy days. My Boxster gets to live a little more luxury and is the “fun” car. My Jeep gets the daily...

100% what Blue62 regarding your motor mount. Even though the MM is unlikely the cause of your noise, it is pretty much certain it is shot. Mine is an 02 and like Blue mentioned, my center mount just...

Either way, that bolt, which is actually a 24mm nut, the bolt comes from behind, is red threadlocked on. So the “nut” shouldn’t turn at all without a bit of force and the bolt itself needs to be...

The bummer with the Continental units is they are speaker level out only. No line/low level RCA outputs. If you go for a full amp etc. install it complicates things a bit.

The most challenging part of replacing the chain tensioners is pulling the a/c comp to get to the one on top of the motor. It’s a very simple job overall. The Variocam tensioners on the other hand...
