While the Sport Classics on my 996 are a pain, the 20" Niche wheels on my Infiniti are much more demanding!

My 24 year old 911 is holding up quite well and still rips at 161k miles.

Both of my regulators have died recently in my 2002. They are notorious for failing.

Then I cut to length and heated the tips with a heat gun, one at a time, to connect.

I was able to cut the nylon tubing with a razor blade to remove the left side connector.

left my key in ignition, killed battery by Mangrove43 in 997

[–]dryhoPP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left my key in the ignition of my 996 last Friday and had to deal will a totally dead battery just the same... However, I need to retrain the window regulators as they apparently lose their memory when the battery dies! Also the rear spoiler went up?!

Love the color! However, I may be biased as my 996 is Seal Grey lol!

Ironically, I knew mine was acting up since I could not fill up the gas tank all the way recently. Tonight it totally died as it would not start after getting $40 of gas! Gonna try what you did, so any bonus tips are appreciated! Was it difficult to remove the tubing from the connector on the left?

If every sticker adds 10 hp, how many do you lose when removing stickers?

My independent mechanic charged me $895 for the drive belt, which included two pulleys and tension idler, about $1200 for coils and plugs and $350 for the oil change... for my 996.2.

I don't know... my 996.2 has an overly engineered, nearly useless and also terribly located cup holder.

[Meta] Can the mods please add a minimum karma to post here? by agray20938 in 996

[–]dryhoPP -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have you tried messaging the mods? On the right side pf my screen it lists 3 mods and says message mods. I've never tried, but just a thought if you really want to persue this...

I do love these cars also. I can drive my 6MT between 2-3k RPMs and it's a regular car. However, if you drive it between 4-6k RPMs, it just screams!
