RSA is almost ready for the Track
We got the RSA back from paint a few weeks ago and it has been on the back burner since. The three disc puck clutch let go at the last race so I needed to get that fixed, and get the car aligned. Oh wait that was the wrong side. This is the fresh paint side. Came out really well, now we just need to make some new decals for this side of the car! It makes me giggle every …

GT3 5 Lug Conversion. Blog post 1000
Kind of hard to believe, but this post will mark the 1000th post (that means probably 500 or so pissed off 928 owners!) on the blog since I started it back in 2009. I’ll be having a party at the shop today to celebrate, but it will probably be pretty lame with me just working on cars and not talking to people. A bunch of the older posts are lacking pictures as I lost data on a server, but I …

Giggity……
It’s been Cayenne week here for some reason. I was just telling someone we don’t see a lot of Cayennes because they typically don’t need much….then boom, he comes in a few days later and I have 4 sitting here, lol. If you are getting an AWD/4wd error light on the cayenne, it is very often due to this stepper motor/servo. Luckily it is found on the transfer case externally, rather than in the case itself. Looks expensive…..and is! And …

997.2 DFI Plug Change
Had a .2 997 in the shop the other day for it’s overdue spark plug service. Plugs are now a 4 year service item no matter the mileage according to Porsche, so if you haven’t done them, get them done! The process unfortunately is a bit harder than the M96/M97 engines, and for you DIY at home guys, I recommend pulling the mufflers and loosening the cats/headers to give yourself room to work. I’ve got monkey arms and a wide …

The Waterpumper Blues
Had a little boxster come into the shop last week with a big coolant leak and grinding noise. Typically when I hear “grinding noise” complaints with an M96 or M97 engine, it means the waterpump is going to be in pieces, which isn’t a good thing. I can’t recommend enough replacing these waterpumps every 40k miles or 5 years. When the impellers come apart, the plastic bits will become lodged in the cylinder heads, leading to cracking and coolant intermix …

Come stop by our booth at the Body Coddington All Speed Expo at the KCI Expo Center this weekend and say hi! We are out supporting the show and the hard working guys that are making it happen here in KC. Should be a ton of great exhibitors showing off their stuff! We should be next to NASA Central Region and KC Trends. http://www.allspeedexpo.com/
