hi guys, the reason i am posting this is because i took my 997 c2 cab to Stuttgart Performance for my 40000 mile service and to have an evo strut bar installed..they installed the strut brace 1st and that went ok,it took about 30 to 40 min..looks good..cant tell any preformane improvements but i am still happy..they then started the service by installing the pollen filter and then a very detailed check of the car..i was in the waiting area watching through the window..when he gets to the back he is looking at somthing under the engine for a couple of min..the car was on the lift...and he was checking everything with a flash light..he comes out and asks me to come in so he can show somthing..i go and he shows me with the flash light that there is a coolant leak coming from the water pump..oh nooo....he tells me to take it back to the dealer so they can replace it...he then checks the rest of the car and changes the oil..no other problems...it took about 2 hours and 45 min. total .. i left Stuttgart Performance and took it straight to newport porsche and dropped it off ,i told them what i saw and they said they would check..i got a call at 1 pm to day that it was a bad water pump and that i could pick it up after 3 pm because they had replaced it. so i want to thank everyone at Stuttgart Performance and there attention to detail in finding that probelm before it became a very big one!

40k miles! Most impressive.

 

Im trying to find a good dealer around Socal, someplace where they are not to **** and stuff. I see you went to newport porsche, how are they?

 

hi StrtSwpr996,the guys at newport are pretty good,i had a boxster s which i changed headers ,mufflers and cold air intake..and they took care of the couple of issues i had warrenty wise no problem....with my 997 i have agency mufflers and fab speed cold air.and have had no issues with them and warrenty...i had fabspeed muffler bypass and they never said anything.if u go there ask for rick west in service he is pretty good.

 

i know rriva gets work done there and saw their webpage. looked good to me. it's nice to see someone knowing what they are doing instead of poking fingers and pretending to do things they can't do...

 

what's teir web site/info?

 

where did you get all your perf. stuff adn installation?
do the fabspeed muffler bypass make it much louder?
i ran with a cayman S this sunday and the 3.8 soudns just like the 3.6!

 

where did you get your equ. and installation?

 

Hey carmos I'm very happy for you...that could have been a real shame!
As you said, you delt with very professional people, and that's how to take care about customers
Congratulations for your 40000 miles...that's the way to drive it
