Art, I agree that my car underperformed at the mile and have said so publicly before your sledgehammer revelation. The car ran what it ran, no excuses. I don't make excuses unlike yourself. Tom kicked my butt from one side of TX to the other, just a fact.
I have no problem with Betim running so fast and my car running so slow. If I want a 225 mph car it is nothing more than a phone call. It isn't like I am going to finance the build on credit cards. It just isn't what I want today, maybe tomorrow I will feel different. Regardless, if I ever am fortunate to have such a car you can be guarateed I will drive it to the limit myself.
So to recap, I just think people want more data and less bs. Cheers Bro! ]]> 996 Turbo / GT2 KPG http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/996-turbo-gt2/193080-my-car-slow.html Need new clutch!!

The market for them is pretty reasonable right now, so i figured id treat myself. Ive been in a few 700+whp ones, and im no stranger to german performance. But i heard about the 996's having some problem with crank case leak ? or something of that nature.

Pro's & Con's of the car ?
how long will the stock turbo's last along with the trans?
& the longevity if i do simple upgrades such as exhaust, tune...

thanks guys. ]]> 996 Turbo / GT2 Turbo Rich http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/996-turbo-gt2/193063-looking-get-my-1st-turbo.html Upgraded my DE helmet http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/996-turbo-gt2/193057-upgraded-my-de-helmet.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:24:32 GMT First thing I've done in a week, since being sick, was to mount the colored anchors for my hans device onto the new helmet, and transfer my communicator over into the new helmet. Really impressed with the fit and finish and the price was right, at $275!

Hi, in the last week i have noticed an oil leak under the transmission ... the first time it was just a little bit (no drops on the floor) but it has become suddenly a very big leak.
I have gone under the car and i have seen a big (very big - 1 drop on the floor every 5-10 sec) amount of oil coming from the top of the rear differential (where the accumulator and the slave cylinder are located).
I know that the clutch accumulator faults prematurely but my questions is if anybody has experienced, together with the stiff pedal, oil leak from it ?
The car has about 70000 miles and never changed the accumulator and the cylinder but, to me, a similar leak is very strange ... but there's nothing more, in that place, that can lose oil ! :confused: ]]> 996 Turbo / GT2 ThePunisher http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/996-turbo-gt2/193045-clutch-accumulator-leaking-oil.html Is the clutch accumulator leaking oil ? http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/996-turbo-gt2/193040-clutch-accumulator-leaking-oil.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:43:57 GMT Hi, in the last week i have noticed an oil leak under the transmission ... the first time it was just a little bit (no drops on the floor) but it has...

Tried search: for me search seems to be hosed at present as all sorts of unrelated things pop up.

Issue: I need to be right next to the car to get the alarm to arm and disarm now. I used to be able to get it from about 100 feet. Same key. I replaced the battery and nothing changed.

I did have SeriousAutosport upgrade my seats for me (to be posted once I get some pictures in place) to GT3 euro rs seats.....could that have screwed up the alarm antenna????


Thanks guys!

I had my cats removed and had a customized straight pipe installed with a flange for quick removal if needed for smog checks...To my surprise, the check engine light remained off...I had a previous FVD flash so that was a shocker.

The car does act different..Off the line, there is a small lag but once it gets moving i shoot up to .9 immediatly. I am spooling quicker. At idle, its just as quiet as stock, but when you hit it, it sounds pretty good. Im running a speedtech exhaust and cant be happier with the setup. This beta test was well worth it...Garrett turbos are on the way in Jan........

According to my user manual the car should be taking about 8.5qts.

Just how sensitive is this engine to overfilling ? Should I be worried about anything more than .5qts overfill or is it pretty safe up to ????

Reason I am asking is that after a long drive (300miles) and speeds up to 125 and near 6.5k. I was expecting some drop in oil level. But there has not been any drop and I am beginning to wonder if the mechanic over filled the oil. Normally after a long day of some aggressive driving I see some drop in the level by at least one to two bars. But only after very hard driving.

Are my expectations normal for a drop in level after a day of hard driving and should I be concerned about a potential overfill ? ]]> 996 Turbo / GT2 jakeblade http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/996-turbo-gt2/192991-much-oil.html <![CDATA[996TT "Lights" Wiring Diagram needed]]> http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/996-turbo-gt2/192963-996tt-lights-wiring-diagram-needed.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:30:20 GMT Anyone have the information on what the voltages are supposed to be at the plug/connector that the headlamp assembly plugs in to?

Or, if you have the wiring diagram, that would be helpful more than you can imagine.

Currently, I have the headlamp sitting on my work bench extended with 10 foot leads so I can check all items with the headlamp out. Pictures attached for your enjoyment (Yes, I know, the inner fender is dirty in the pic, it isn't dirty any longer)

I just completed another Aquamist HFS-6 install here at the shop, figured I would post up a couple pictures of what this install actually involves and what it could look like when its finished.

This install is slightly different than our "usual" install which involve hanging a 6QT tank over the front of the gas tank. The customer felt that placement of a tank there would not allow him optimal cargo space as he often would fill it. The solution was to mount a tank on the side, where he felt it was out of the way. A 4QT tank was used, and even though it would need to be filled up more often, it allowed us to retain 110% of the factory "things" under the false floor; spare, jack, toolkit, amp, air pump, and water injection pump ;).












The wiring in the corner hanging in front of the interior panel was done during a radar detector/jammer install or something and it was pulled too tight to fix it, but it gets covered by a Bose box :D






We have significant experience with installing these kits, and we do offer free install support, wiring diagrams, and general tips to customers and their install shops with the kit purchases. ]]> 996 Turbo / GT2 DaveM@EPL http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/996-turbo-gt2/192915-hfs-6-install-pictures.html
