Heh, thanks for the info. Sorry if I ask questions that have already been answered previously, but I'm pretty new here. Been reading older posts to try to avoid this, but am only up to page 9 so far. I keep meaning to read only posts that are directly related to my car's current issues, but it seems like every thread teaches me something new, so I'm reading them all =). For example, I was wondering just yesterday if I could brighten up my dash with stronger bulbs, but didn't know what wattage to use...thanks to this thread, now I do.

The Clark's Garage seems like an awesome resource, thanks for pointing it out. However, since summer is here, I think I'll work on the moon roof first. At first glance from what I've read, sounds like I need that $5 plastic gear. I had given up on my moon roof originally, because the porsche mechanic here said my motor was burned out, and would cost quite a bit to fix. I'm pretty sure that's BS, since I can hear the motor running when I activate it. Then again, this shop seems kinda shady. He charged me $400 to replace my ignition coil...that's when I went online and found this place. Wish I'd know about the buy/sell forum, because I just spent $429 on a passenger side fender, and tonight I found one going for $150 on that forum...and don't get me started on the $189 I spent on the hazard light switch, just to find one for $25 on the aforementioned forum. I'm not much of a wrench, last car I really worked on was my '76 Camaro when I was in high school (I'm 35). I'm coming to understand that I better freaking learn to work on my Porsche unless I want to give up such extravagances like, electricity in my home, and food other than Top Ramen. It's worth it though, I've wanted one of these cars since they came out when I was in high school, and now that I have one, I'm happy as a clam. I'm even looking into getting a junked one for parts.

BTW, since you asked, my timing belt, balance belt, and water pump were all changed under 4k miles ago, if the PO's service records are correct. It's pretty mechanically sound for a car with 138k miles on it.
