I installed the old Pedro Race Mount a while back. It is essentially solid PU. While the initial feeling was WOW, this feels so tight, the enjoyment does seem to trail off with time.

Possibly not. Just trying to be a charitable member of the forum ;)

If they went regular post it would be less expensive but could take a few weeks. Then of course weigh this up with the fact...

I have a set off of my 2000 S. Have about 45k miles on them before I replaced them with bypass pipes.

If you want them they are yours, just reimburse me for the freight. It may be expensive...

Mine rattles constantly at idle but the noise goes as soon as the revs are above about 1,000rpm. It also rattles at low revs if the engine is laboured (ie in too high a gear).

Any ideas what...

I have never driven a PDK, so I am probably not in the best position to comment. I have driven a 996 turbo with tip however, and it was, in my opinion, not a sports car experience in the least. For a...

If your ABS light is on it is possible that an ABS sensor needs replacing. This is not the same as the wear sensor and is unfortunately much more expensive. It is located next to the brake caliper on...

It is the air/oil separator for sure. Mine did this a few months back. About 120 bucks for the part and 2 hours labour.

Buying a Porsche in the US

Just a quick one guys, what is the best website for buying a Porsche in the US?

I'm not really concerned about location, I plan on exporting the vehicle to eastern Europe.

The AOS will not trigger a CEL directly. It is likely that the code is thrown due to unacceptable differences in reading between pre and post cat O2 sensors. It is also possible your O2 sensors have...

It has been said a couple of times already, but I think the importance of tyres cannot be stressed enough.

+1 Pothole.

I have had an obsession with Porsches ever since childhood. When it comes time to part with the Box S, I may well buy a 996TT 996GT3 or a 997 C2/4S. I am moving from Australia at the...

If you are interested to see the prices we pay in Australia, have a look at this website: carsales.com.au

Boxster vs Carrera

Unfortunately the boxsters are getting old now, and it seems they have devalued sufficiently to come into the hands of the proletariate.

Thanks for the reply.

My question was more from an academic perspective, not that I am going to fill my car with leaded fuel just because I have removed the cats. I didn't even think about the O2...

Landrovered is right. Can be many causes. I will list a few of the "usual suspects" below.

1. Are the anti-vibration shims fitted behind the pads? Huge difference.
2. Do you only use the brakes...

I don't know a lot about oil, but if the container says "Turbo" and "Diesel" and my car is a naturally aspirated petrol engine, I would probably use a different oil.
