When I rolled my fenders (17x8.5 at Euro height) I rented a tool at Tirerack. It was like a $500 toy, but once returned the full amount was refunded. It bolts to your hub via the wheel studs, you...

I can't remember where I got it from, but I got a top for my '84 with a 993 style non-zip out window. It was also a one piece top, which made the install MUCH easier than the earlier two piece. I...

It backfires off throttle after heavy acceleration. Stock fuel system, new plugs, wires, fuel injectors...but according to my A/F gauge it runs way too rich at WOT, any RPM range. Anywhere from...

For the Porsche daily drivers out there; do you worry about getting in an accident?

Last year, I drove my '84 911 as a daily driver. I admit, some of it is my fault, as I have replaced bumpers w/ fiberglass shells, etc, but don't you worry about getting in an accident? I mean,...

Do newer Porsches have a "change oil" reminder?
The reason I ask is Audi wants about $300 to change the oil in my A8, which is silly. The filter alone is $60 from them. It's an enclosed unit, so...

That's the main reason they go to the H&R's. Coilover design with stiffer coils and shocks. They also upgrade from stock 16's or 17's with 225/60/16, up to 18's or 19's w/ 245 meats.

Most of the guys on the forum have older A8's, which are coil sprung, not air. They are somewhat lighter also (3800-4000lbs), which while not a light and nimble 911, is pretty impressive for a fully...

So there is something to be gained, but it will be much harder to do. I figured it could be done, since raising one corner is the same as lowering the opposite corner. So if one corner is fixed,...

Could you corner balance a car if only the front was height adjustable?

I ask this question here because the knowledge base on corner balancing is quite vast, but it is for my fellow Audi A8 owners on another forum. A big suspension upgrade is to install H&R coilovers,...

Yes, there are a pair of footwell blowers and they are notorious for seizing. Mine ('84) didn't have fuses inline with them, so they would lock up, burn up the motor, and start smoking. Mine did...
