Just throw a log or something under the car to protect you being squished like an orange if the jack fails. Don't use a cinder building block. Those will split if they get smacked with a load like a...

Where did the coolant come from? If it is the front left hand side you could have two problems I know about. The hose from water pump to radiator, if original, doesn't like to seal up to the water...

I'm not really a suspension expert but take a look at the rubber, especially on the right hand side. That gets hit with oil filter replacement leaks every 3 months as well as the ATF fluid, if your...

Drop the A-Arm and save a bunch of headaches. Then get a realignment. You probably need one anyway, and certainly will after new shocks and ball joints. And while you are at it get new castor blocks,...

It is $2.99 9/10ths for regular here and 3.15 for 93 octane. I'd switch to regular but I have chips that the timing requires 92 octane.

I filled up and a 55 gallon drum when the storm was coming...

There is Auto Edge in Mahtomedi - 651.777.6924 . Sort of far if you live in Minneapolis or Rochester. But not too bad if you are in St. Paul. They do a LOT of race work and prep on Porsches so they...

You sure you know left from right in car speak? As you sit in the car, that is left and right, not standing in front of the nose facing it.

Anyway, that sure sounds like the alternator cooling...

The stock is clear 55 watt H3 halogen bulbs. I don't think anyone even makes an H3 under 55 watt.

The fog wiring system is a little better than the headlights as there is a relay for the fogs....

Naw, there are places that specialize in bearings. The way they keep track of things and know what you really need is sort of like going to a women's hair shop/nail business. They will have more...

As noted, just about everything in the Porsche wiring is poor to horrible. It is just under designed for the task at hand.

I didn't sell anything to them and the 90/100 bulbs I have are made by Philips/Narva. That wattage combo is usually an European origin so I'm sure Osram makes them also. Osram's child, Sylvania,...
