Re: Did I misunderstand? - 3 years ago
A good friend and I did the 01 to 03 top a long time ago and it was absolutely plug and play but we measured the exact spot and marked where we disconnected the arms to make sure the positioning was correct. It did not require any additional work. There is a need to do microswitch work if you have a 97-99 model though, but your 01 wouldn’t require any additional work. You probably need to adjusby CarreraLicious - Main Forum
Re: GT4 Oil change - what a PITA POrsche! - 3 years ago
I agree that the removal of the physical dip stick is a pain. I don’t trust the electronic measurement and so while the oil/filter change itself is pretty easy on my 997, I measure how much oil is drained and then put a little less than that in and go from there.by CarreraLicious - Main Forum

Friday Pic Day and a Porsche Ownership Story - 3 years ago
Here’s a pic I took recently that shows some nice colors with the leaves starting to change colors. I also recently did a Podcast (link below) to speak about my Porsche ownership journey through the years. A lot of my great experiences stemmed from this very board by meeting such good people in the Porsche community. If you get a chance to listen, I hope you enjoy the story… PorscheCoolby CarreraLicious - Main Forum
Re: Has there been a MarcW sighting? - 3 years ago
I don’t know. I wouldn’t want to do that. I’ll always try to have a Pcar in my garage. The Mini does nothing for me, well, except for this one.by CarreraLicious - Main Forum

He moved on from his two Pcars. I think he got a Mini Cooper and a Dodge Challenger as replacements to his Boxster and Turbo.by CarreraLicious - Main Forum

Re: Get Your ICE Boxster Before They Go All Electric in 2025; While 911 to Remain Gas Powered - 3 years ago
Glad they’re at least gonna continue making the 911 with gas powered engines. Hope they still offer them in manual too. I’m ok with going electric but only as a commuter car. For a weekend fun car, it’s gotta be an ICE with three pedals for me.by CarreraLicious - Main Forum
Re: Then maybe you need to abandon Porsche specs.... - 3 years ago
Various threads I’ve read in 997 forums indicate the negative camber on this car causes this inner tread wear on the rears and many get between 12-15k miles out of them. I’m actually ok with that, and I don’t want all seasons on my sports car, but YMMV. I will get it checked out though. 997 tire wear:by CarreraLicious - Main Forum
Re: If you're saying those tires look like that at 15k, they were shot well before. - 3 years ago
QuoteJM-Stamford,CT I agree. I suspect that someone wanted an aggressive suspension setup. If you made the rear more neutral, you will probably get better wear. To be clear, 15K is very short in the absence of track or other aggressive abuse. That shouldn’t be the case, as I had the 4 wheel alignment done according to Porsche specs at a Porsche dealer 3 yrs ago. It is not unheard of to get oby CarreraLicious - Main Forum
Re: Ordered new tires… - 3 years ago
QuoteRev Dennis I had a similar conversation on another board. On my NSX I only had 4000 miles on the tires, but I checked and here the rears were worn out. Turns out they get a 100 foot skid pad result of 1 g by giving the rears a 1 degree inner bias. Check your alignment. That was years ago. I am back in Porsche land now. Thanks, well these rears had about 15K on em till it got to this point,by CarreraLicious - Main Forum
Re: I am glad you checked too... - 3 years ago
QuoteJM-Stamford,CT It will be good to keep you around for a while longer. In addition to the new tires,, I might suggest getting the suspension/alignment checked. That is a lot of wear on the extreme inside of the tire. That looks a little unusual. The wear could be made more even. I do wonder if that kind of wear indicates you are not getting the best contact patch for the kind of driving yby CarreraLicious - Main Forum
Ordered new tires… - 3 years ago
I drive with other Porsche pals on weekends so much I checked my tires over the weekend right before I went out and saw this! Down to the chords on my inner rears. Scary actually and I’m glad I checked. New tires ordered and I clicked on the banner for Tirerack on this forum so hopefully Pedro’s site gets some sort of credit. Easy to do, as it brings you right to the Tirerack site to order. Dby CarreraLicious - Main Forum

Re: That price remains high. - 4 years ago
QuoteJMstamford,ct If you are talking about DEALER quotes in the NY Metro, that might be in the range. But for a decent independent, I submit it is high. I get that they quote from the book or whatever and I get that the mark up stuff through the roof, but the parts are NOT the expensive. Check FCP Euro and other sites.
