Wow. No replies. On my air cooled post I had about 5 to 10 replies before I could answer. Lol. Just other stuff I have changed on the car were, the starter. It would make a weird sound every once and a while. Never failed but I'm one to repair before it fails and gets stuck.

I also kept getting a ABS and PSM error every now and then under hard acceleration. Ended up being the MAS out of everything. Changed that with OEM MAS. That was a lot for a little sensor.

Also my front brakes and rotors were shot and got new rotors and brake pads. I'm doing the rears now that the rear suspension is coming off.

Oh one day my convertible roof wouldn't go up and I called Mtech. He told me to wiggle the key. I did and the top went right up. He told me not to shut the car off and drive it to him. He was so right. When I got there I couldn't get the key out. Ended up needing a ignition switch.

Then about 5 months later my HID's would turn on sometimes. I would have to turn them on and off to get them both to turn on. So it was the head light switch. Changed that.

Got a new carpet kit from Lyods. The best part was when the back seats are down, they sell a carpet to cover the back seats when down that CARRERA 4. Looks great.

I brought a silver face gauges from Ebay to match the silver interior accents. The freaken gauges hold the miles and it showed I had like 70,000 instead of the 110,000 that the car had and Mtech couldn't change it. I spoke to North Hollywood gauges and they said for 300 bucks they will swap the gauges. He also informed me that the cluster that I got is a turbo and thank god I didn't run the car with it. He said the sensors are different and I would get a bunch of error readings and CEL's.

I have done a bunch more just can't remember right now.

One more thing that I just found out is that the triple IMS that LN Engineering does in house is good for 70,000 to 80,000 miles as per them when I called yesterday. Anyone have any info on that? I just see videos and info on the double and single row and the "Permeant solution" they sell now. Thanks.

Robert
