blue_ixxi Posted 18September, 2021 Report Share Posted 18September, 2021 Fixed a flat on my rear tyre and almost break my back doing it. My car was parked very close to my basement pillar and had to twist myself to access the flat tyre. Mobile tyre repairs were quoting upwards of $160 and 2 days wait, so took the wheels out myself and took it to a puncture shop to get it repaired for $40.

Sov Posted 19October, 2021 Report Share Posted 19October, 2021 Today I changed a flat tyre. First flat tyre in 30 years. Not really how I wanted to be enjoying my car but at least it happened only a few minutes from home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDW911 Posted 30October, 2021 Report Share Posted 30October, 2021 Put this back where it belongs after clutch replacement and a heap of “while I am there” items. I’m pretty happy with the results.

Laurens Posted 1November, 2021 Report Share Posted 1November, 2021 Looking REALLY good ...... well done! Even with the correct "Shell" sticker. Really impressive. I guess a 1995 993 Carrera 2? Not many yellow ones around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDW911 Posted 1November, 2021 Report Share Posted 1November, 2021 It is a early manufacture 993 - 1994. It had the original Shell sticker but it was pretty bubbled and cracked so I replaced it. I actually thought it should have been Mobil 1 but apparently the early 993 had the Shell decal. Just took my time and tried to be as methodical as I could be. Zero oil leaks, no weird noised and best of all, no slipping clutch. Very happy to just enjoy it 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurens Posted 1November, 2021 Report Share Posted 1November, 2021 Porsche turned to Mobil 1 0W-40 synthetic motor oil as a factory in 1996 and recommended service fill for its 1996 (and later) models. So the early 993s still had Shell oil in their engines and you're spot on! Non-standard exhaust fitted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDW911 Posted 1November, 2021 Report Share Posted 1November, 2021 It has the stock cat but the mufflers have been cut open along the original welds and the internal bypass increased to 1.5” and welded back up. Slightly louder - say 10% but in keeping with the rest of the car. I didn’t want it too loud. It looks perfectly stock except that I had it all high temp coated silver. The factor had a Motor sound option in the US which had the 1.5” internal bypass which is what I tried to copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurens Posted 1November, 2021 Report Share Posted 1November, 2021 I have the same on my 993: original exhaust, but modified mufflers only. Also changed the air intake to the 'Motorsound' box with a standard paper (Mann) filter. All together not too loud, just a nice 'throatier' sound. Enjoy!

TDW911 Posted 1November, 2021 Report Share Posted 1November, 2021 How did you find the Motorsound air intake box - much of a sound difference? I am thinking of getting one but not sure if it is worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurens Posted 2November, 2021 Report Share Posted 2November, 2021 To be honest: I couldn't tell you TDW911. The mufflers and air intake were changed at the same time and, as mentioned before, it sounds a bit louder than before. However, I think it looks nice?

TDW911 Posted 2November, 2021 Report Share Posted 2November, 2021 It does look good. Might have to get one for that alone👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WB997.2GTS Posted 2November, 2021 Report Share Posted 2November, 2021 My 993 has a sound intake box and the only modifications seem to be a series of holes drilled into the intake cover and a chrome intake surround, I could post a photos of the holes if you want to do your own mods.
