Hi all. I've owned 4 911's air cooled from a 85 Coupe, 85 Targa, 92 964 C4 Coupe, 77 930. About two years ago I sold my 964 and went out and got a 2002 C4 cab with 102,000. It had a rebuilt engine by LN engineering. It was done at 87,000. It had an IMS issue and was rebuilt and with in 10,000 miles it went again and the engine was shipped to LN and they put a triple IMS bearing and new 3.8 Pistons and sleeves.
I love the car. I miss the crap out of my 930. The 996 is a great car. It had tons of upgrades, like a light weight Alum, fly wheel and a GT clutch. I was driving by Scranton PA on 84 and felt what I thought was a chatter. I drove it to Mtech in New Rochelle NY an Indy.
I ordered an European suspension from Sun Coast for the 2002 996 Cab. Also after a test drive, Mike determine that it was the clutch. So I took it in on Monday. He ordered all the parts and while the car is up I am having the BBS's referbed.
So Mike dropped the Trans and started to take the suspension apart. He found that the RMS was leaking. I never saw it drip, but the seal was wet and it was building up by the IMS. I thought it was the IMS when I saw it. He showed me that it was the RMS and how it the oil came down. So today he got most of the parts in from Porsche in New Rochelle. He put the RMS in and I took some pics.
I opted not to keep the light weight flywheel and go back to stock duel mass. Its a long story but I hate noises and the rattle of the GT flywheel is really annoying and I would have to keep my clutch pedal on the floor to stop it. So lets just say that and the stiffness of the clutch out weight the 30 Lbs I was saving. It really is 20 Lbs. We weight it. The Alum light weight FW is 14 Lbs. The Duel Mass is 34 lbs. Any way. Ill keep posting like I did on my 930 Rebuild. Not many people post pics of work on the 996. I am also waiting for my fabspeed cat's to come in. 6 to 8 week wait and its been 5 weeks since I ordered it. Also getting the sport muffler's also. Here are some pics.
