My 3.2 is scary fast. It scares me. The more I drive it the less I am frightened but there is no doubt in my mind that my car is very very fast. Here's what happened on Friday:

Bill,

You rule. So to clarify, the O2 sensor is only reading gasses on one of the two headers (reading only gasses on three cylinders). Which header/cylinders should the reading come from, or...

Jim,

Thanks for checking it out for me. I'm thinking that it is very unlikely that Porsche designed and/or bought a different wiper motor just for the 914-6. More likely they used the same motor...

6 Wiper Motor: Equivalent 911 Wiper Motor

I need to find a working 1970 914-6 windshield wiper motor (don't really need the linkage). I'm guessing this was really just a 911 part and that finding a 911 motor would be easier than trying to...

You Can Get it Off!

Don't break the nut! Do it the right way. Here's how:

1. Go to Sears and buy a 3/4 inch drive breaker bar or flex head. Do not buy a 3/4 ratchet. It will only break. You might be able to get...
