When installing a 2 post hoist with standard base you need 150mm concrete thickness. If you only have 100mm thickness you need to have larger base with outriggers. Best bolts to use are 16mm X 140mm through bolts 👍 If you have a 9ft ceiling Bendpak do a 2 poster now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy73 Posted 29May, 2020 Report Share Posted 29May, 2020 Well after a few years feeling that my engine bay didn't match the exterior of my car, decided it was time to get it sorted. Fan and shroud were powder coated (fan gold to match my wheels) re-routed the ignition cables from on top of the fan housing to behind the shroud, had all small hardware bits zinc plated, replaced the fan housing retention strap and then added the Sleepers Titanium Heater Blower Delete Plate. Stu and the team at NineAuto did an excellent job - super happy with the outcome.

TwoHeadsTas Posted 31May, 2020 Report Share Posted 31May, 2020 Finished off install of Continental 7412 stereo in the GT3 today. Couldn't work the new-fangled Kenwood thing that was in the car when I got it, and it didn't look right, even when I managed to find out how to change the display colour to orange. I was trying to make the install more complicated than it had to be by working out what what wires I'd have to change and all that, when I realised the car plugs that went into the old harness, would plug straight into the back of the Continetal. Dooh!! All I had to do then was run the wire for the remote microphone (which was the hardest part, requiring removal of the side vent unit - thanks YouTube), plug it all in and it worked. Easy Peasy in the end. Also "101 Projects for a 996" was also a useful publication to refer to.

flamingporsche Posted 3June, 2020 Report Share Posted 3June, 2020 The rear tyres need replacing so I removed the 19” HREs and put on the set of 18” OZ Racing rims with near new Michelin Pilot Sports. Not a bad look, but I might try some different colour combos down the track 😉 Troubleshooter, TwoHeadsTas, Niko and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TINGY Posted 5June, 2020 Report Share Posted 5June, 2020 Annual service today, i was there for the service and was pleasantly surprised when the filter was checked for shiny metallic bits and none were found, bearings checked, filters replaced, suspension and components checked, brake fluid replaced, no leaks found, ready for a trip i reckon. One happy 996 owner. How good are these cars JWM, Rod C, firstone and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still covered in brake dust 😳 Have only driven to/from tyre shop for an alignment so can’t comment on the ride yet. Hopefully it’s an improvement. Might sell/swap the HREs to fund a set of Turbo Twists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeM Posted 8June, 2020 Report Share Posted 8June, 2020 Bored, I thought I'd change the steering wheel on the old girl. Autopro has a sale on steering wheels, so I grabbed this one for $85 and fitted a thumb operated horn button from Jaycar. I prefer suede wheels, but this will do for now Harsh, Raven, Airhead and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoHeadsTas Posted 27June, 2020 Report Share Posted 27June, 2020 How many of you have completely removed an entire dash from a 986 / 996? F@#k me, there are an amazing number of screws and bolts holding this thing in!!!! At least with stripping down the part out 986 we're not too concerned about having to put the thing back in, but they sure managed a good number of hidden, or hard to locate screws, like the one UNDER the infrared receiver for the security dash tucked in tightly under the base of the windscreen..... Obviously screwed in before they put the windscreen in...... Reckon it took 2 1/2 hrs at least. Really useful to have the 101 Projects for your 986/987 Boxster book, lots of handy hints in that for how to remove various parts + Youtube is a fantastic resource as we all know ..... firstone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvs11 Posted 28June, 2020 Report Share Posted 28June, 2020 I’ve been having intermittent cold start problems. It was the 40 years old earth strap no longer having a good connection resulting in no starter kicking in. Simple job? Nope. Trans. cross member and rear sway bar has to come out to access the end on the transmission. Once cleaned up and a bit of copper based anti-seize applied it now fires up with a lively spin. cost $0 with the satisfaction of no more push starts 😬 Stepo, Dalai and firstone 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
