Just watch Slingblade it has all the information you need.

Typically dealerships don't pull and install their own glass, but sub it out. Good for the warranty though.

Call Olay at 570 8645 he will do a great job at a great price.

Not an aluminum radiator probably cannot be fixed, or should I say that radiator shops will not repair tube leak failures. Stop leak or new radiator.

For the money it probably will be less expensive and better job than a first time painter. You may talk to them about prepping it as well.

The job of the notary is simply to confirm the person that is signing is that said person, and that said person must sign in the presence of the notary. No notary that wants to keep their notary status will touch this, especially with death and family involved, not saying that you can't find someone to do it, but it is illegal for the notary.

It looks like a pretty clean rust free car from the pictures. You can run it on ebay in the salvage parts car section until it sells for no or very little insertion fee. The fee is at he back end and is about 9% or so in the end (I believe) someone may be very interested in this, and you may get the best exposure.

Only thing that worked on my 600whp BMW was Hoosier drag radials. Nothing worked below 65 degrees or so

He may need to rethink the price range, if this was a camaro it may be closer to that number, but unfortunately the restored price of the car is reflective of the asking price. Just to make sure that I am not trying to degrade the car . I would think that ebay would be the best for this car, someone overseas may purchase it for that that price. I have a fully restored 400 auto 68 car that is probably worth 15 to 17k in this market on a good day. The days of the muscle car colossal price tags mag be ending or over.

So do you want to sell them to me? Make some of that money back

No why?

Well I guess we should lower my expectations then. All I own are 10 year old plus cars and trucks. Please keep in perspective that these failures that I have talked about in these cars just simply shouldn't happen period. I certainly didn't get into the variocam and fuel pump line issues. Don't worry I will fix it if it gives me issues. I remember this same discussion I had about 14 years ago on the rx7 forum, and if memory serves correct, those folks praised their beloved 13b for its power and reliability. We all know how that one turned out. Hopefully the mezger engine lasts, but if it doesn't it will be a V8 VW, as I like to build if once and drive it hard.

I believe it is Mezger , and the failures that these cars have are elementary engineering failures, not ground breaking invention failures. I don't expect to have failures like these ones from a high end car, I expect clutch wear, oil changes, maybe some transmission problems from abuse, but not coolant tubes that are glued not pressed in , plastic coolant tubes that fall apart, and loud as hell IMS gears that sound like they are coming apart. The saying that you get what you pay for does not apply to automobiles. Some make better cars than others. When you buy a car like this , buy it with a warranty ,it will be needed These are disappointing, but extremely time consuming and expensive needless repairs, as the technology out there will allow for pressed in coolant tubes and other parts that fail.

We don't just build GT3 engines here... but this is seriously the stuff that keeps James awake at night! If any of you guys also have either a 996 or 997 GT1 based Twin Turbo and are experiencing more engine vibration/noise than you'd think was normal we've unfortunately seen our fair share of this nasty symptom. It's not the same IMS failure you here/read about on the M96/97 engines (that is more common too). Please do some research and search 996tt ims failure. Not as common as non turbo units, but failure rate is there. Considering the low production total of the turbo cars figure it at a high rate. Some people have had great luck with these, but some have also had great luck with Chrysler intrepid 2.7 engines as well.

First of all let's get to the AWD drive part of the car. 5% to the front and the rest to the rear! this is when it is new when it is worn consider it RWD. Coolant pipe failure is not a probability, it will happen, and is rather costly, not to mention ass backward engineering. The x50 cars are starting to have timing chain failure( not on a huge scale) but keep in mind there are not that many x50 cars in the world. iMS failures are happening on these engines and these are engine destroyers. I did my due diligence and researched this car before I got one, since e Cayenne Turbo I have has been less than impressive with failed coolant pipes, starter, driveshaft, fuel tank sender, and uses over 1 quart of oil every 1000 miles (normal from other owners) with 82,000 miles and full service records. Everyone said that the 996tt was "bullet proof" and regular maintenance was all that was needed. A $4000 to $5000 coolant pipe replacement at 80,000 miles because the epoxy that Porsche glued the fittings in with(all 8 of them) fails and the fittings pop out, doesn't seem to be regular maintenance to me. Bullet proof it is not. Maybe I have too high of an expectation from autos that originally were North of $220,000 but making coolant tubes out of composite plastic and glueing coolant tubes in place , is not good engineering at all, very disappointing at best. 996tt need clutch slaves, alternators, maf's coolant expansion tanks, spark plugs, coil packs, front and rear main seals, fuel senders, water pumps, rear tires maybe 10,00 miles, as well as the above mentioned parts. All of these are from normal driving. Buy the GTR I have a feeling that the Japanese build it better. If mine disappoints me it will get 2 more cylinders and some larger turbos.

The only deal breaker would be if the car does not come with a warranty. If it does not have a good one you will be sad when it breaks, and your bank account will be much lighter. Not much of a good winter car in the snow with 265 or 275 rear tires, maybe with some winter treads.

Don't get one without a warranty.

I t says that he is 13 years old, don't know if that is true or not.

Thanks for the reply Andy, but unfortunately I don't have any key for it. I purchased it through copart like this. I will call the dealer and have to pony up for the key and program. Thanks again.

Hatem says he can't do the porsche transponders, but thanks again for the reply. Anyone here work for MAG or Byers?

Thanks Rob I will give him a try!

Does anybody know of any place besides the dealer to cut a 2003 Porsche 911 key and program transponder possibly a mobile service please let me know.

Looks like a great dog, not to change the thread, but a neighbor of mine has a similar dog that was having seizures. She changed the dog's food to an organic food and the episodes went away.

You probably need local so the shipping doesn't kill you. But who knows I heard concrete dudes make all the paper.

Never had the stock rear out, only because I bought and still have an extra 3.90 FD diff that will come with the car, you know Murphy's law. I will see if I can post some interior pics, but it Is just a stock interior with wear on the drivers seat.
