Not that I advocate such thing ... I found is using a valve core remover to unscrew the core just enough to let air out of the tires but not enough to make it obviously the problem. Doesn't cause any expensive damange except the frustration when they keep having to put air in the tire and not...

I don't quite think Anitbiotics will cure this burning sensation

It's typically be better to warm up an engine by being easy on it, then it is to sit idleing. I just make sure it's got a smooth idle before I head out and am easy on it until the temps come up.

Sadly there are no knock sensors which means it won't retard or advance timing. This is the single reason I run premium fuel, high compression no adaptive timing == rather be safe then sorry.

HAHAH I'm with you on worrying about riding... No I'm not an owner but I had my share of Audi's and BMW's. I was shopping for a 993 at one point. The 993 911 was the last "drivers" (yumm oversteer) 911, minus the GT3, but when owning one you need about 1-2K extra a month budgeted for maintanence...

Ok I have to ask was this a 997,996, or 993 and was it a C4, C2, GT3, GT2 :rockon: , TT, or a C4S? A GT3 is amazing in the turns, a TT is orgasmic in the straights, a GT2 will cause me to hump the owner'e leg, any other model, Eh whatever. edit: Oh ok it was an 05 so a 996... now back to...

I always wanted to be an asian tattoo artist for just such occasions, all the fun I could have.. "Yeah sure it means powerful" ;)

As per the service manual: Rectifier/regulator Regulator type Semi conductor-short circuit Model/manufacturer SH719AA/SHINDENGEN No load regulated voltage 14.1–14.9 V Rectifier capacity 25.0 A Withstand voltage 240.0 V

The leak may stop as carbon builds up but it has to be really small of a leak. Otherwise they make exhaust paste for just such occasions. I think I missed it what FE kit is that?

Can't help you on the header source but if you current header is damaged and you're gonna junk I might be interested.

I think the fuel level sending unit is part of the fuel pump so my guess would be replace that or try running a few bottles of Cheveron Techron in with the next couple of fillups.

hahah +1 on the MS6 it's my daily driver

It's strange because it looks like it's dragging on the inner part of the rotor and not on the rotor face it self, thought it could just be the picture. The dealer doesn't assemble the rear wheel, they should adjust the chain tension. My guess it's either the caliper bracket isn't sitting...

I was curious if anyone installed a steering dampener? If so thoughts, on it esp at highway speeds?

The filler cap is just held on by the allen bolts there should be no hoses. The pump though I'd remove before respraying. Unhook the hoses from the pump , then remove the pump and when reinstalling replace the o ring. Naturally plug up the filler cap and pump holes to prevent overspray. Edit...
