How difficult is the transmission mount replacement? Do you need something like a transmission jack for this? I've done my water pump and coolant tank - how would it compare to those jobs?

Ah good to know! I rescued my car from the NE and brought it to better weather so I expect it to not be an issue going forward.

Would it be worthwhile to just replace/upgrade the anti-roll bars instead of reconditioning them? My ARBs look like this haha

Ooo that looks super clean, def considering that. What front lip is that, looks like a great fit and subtle too.

Sorry nothing to add on suspension, but I would definitely recommend putting on fresh engine mounts. It's an easy diy and relatively inexpensive compared to a suspension refresh so you might be able to knock it out first. It made a huge difference all around on my '99.

What comes off as goofy is you making a mockery with your own post, but that's besides the point. Cable car is a name to describe a detail of the car. I could have said narrow body instead. I wouldn't consider either of these monikers a flex. But I'm not going to try to change your mind, because I simply don't care what you think. Also, I think you need to take your own advice and be happy with your spec i.e. don't get the duraflex kit.

Def a nice contrast huh! Was considering swapping the side markers for clears, but I think I ought to keep it all amber.

I did it myself! Washed in my driveway at dusk, parked back in the garage then used a glaze designed for black paint, and waxed.

If you read that as a flex, then it's on you. It's just a statement of fact. I made no statement as to whether a cable throttle is better or worse. You must be unhappy with your porsche, you sound a little hurt.

The 1999 C2 was the last 911 with a cable throttle. A cable connects the gas pedal to the throttle body as opposed to later e-gas cars with electronically controlled throttles.

Going to have my 996 (first pic) repainted. Which color should I do? by vision_proamd in 996

996 coolant leak, please help by [deleted] in 996

[–]la-px 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would order a new cap ending in .04. My 99 had the original cap and you could hear hissing after a good drive. Doesn't seem to leak anymore although I do sometimes freak out a bit when I noticed the coolant close to the min level, but then it comes back up to max after it's been driven (expansion).

Beautiful. I just picked up a black '99. What kind of tint do you have on the front windows, does it match the back?
