Could a thinner oil actually be better for a turbo engine/the turbo itself?by Laz - Main Forum
I'm a lot more sedate with cross-street, stop-light situations. Besides, I came from Staten Island, where the roads eat cars if you drive too fast. (Care to regularly change suspension pieces and rims?) Decades ago I think it was Goodrich that ran a two page ad in the national car magazines. One side had a diagram of roads on SI and the Nurburgring on the other. The copy read something like, "Whiby Laz - Main Forum
perhaps if the pads start wearing at a less than optimal angle because they're slightly hung up. Maybe the ridges could chew up the edges of the pad faces, let alone concentrate the wear there or twist the pads ever so slightly.by Laz - Main Forum
Then I moved to where I do a lot more highway driving and the wear rate doubled.by Laz - Main Forum

I didn't thoroughly go through the show's schedule, but I recommend keeping watch for repeats. It was quite interesting, especially about the part of the process that aligns the metal's molecules.by Laz - Main Forum
I think the non-PP 050 is one of them. Get the Hunter road-force balance done, too, although this may need to be re-done after the tires have broken in at about 500 miles.by Laz - Main Forum
I assume you're speaking of the PS2, but whether this iteration or earlier ones, they are excellent non-winter tires, but not the best in the rain. For that you'd have to have tires with more "micro"-siping, like many all-seasons do. Such siping does sacrifice some dry weather precision though. That said, tread depth is all the more important, so you ought to be changing out PS tires when they'reby Laz - Main Forum
Just a joke on the shape of the form in the packaging. Looks a bit like a 917.by Laz - Main Forum
It's a stretch that something would correct "Boxster" to "Boxter." Where would that've come from? I'm not totally dismissing the contention, but I think it still has to do with someone.by Laz - Main Forum
The chirp might be a pulley or the belt. This next point is controversial, but as stock Porsche pads last for so many thousands of miles, the rotors wear should be enough to warrant changing them at the same time, whether or not there is metal to metal contact. It's not just rotor wear limit per se, but that a substantial raised lip is left at the outer and inner circumferential areas of the disby Laz - Main Forum

If I may quote Oscar Wilde, "I'm a man of simple tastes. I only want the best." (I think I got that right, and Winston Churchill had a similar expression.) Porsche owners are a discerning bunch, yes? Many of us here are not only that, but having migrated from the former board might find the misspelling of "Boxster" particularly disconcerting.

With the tank emptying there's less fuel in there to "assist" the delivery. Pump, regulator, filter(s,) leak, partial blockage/crimped line, injector issue, tank ventilation? And yes, it could be water becoming reaching a critical proportion.by Laz - Main Forum
I don't know if I could give you good advice once you respond, but others here might.by Laz - Main Forum
Look at the second sentence in the review by the Hyundai driver. (It might still be the first one.) It's a bit funny and took me a couple readings to figure out what the person was probably trying to say.by Laz - Main Forum

Beethoven could barely do simple arithmetic. I'll eat at a good restaurant even though the menu is loaded with the misuse of apostrophes. Yes, I've noticed quite a few brilliant people who have a keen intelligence in one or more areas of intellect, mechanics included, and be severely deficient in others. But... I think to misspell the name of the car you own, (and a Porsche, no less) then be apatby Laz - Main Forum

None of these is intended to diminish the value of any effective product: Just what does "lifetime," as in "lifetime warranty" mean? The product is guaranteed to last as long as it lasts? It functions as long as it lasts? Can one be sure of the product's still being present? The life of the product; the life of the car; just the headlight lens? Does the warranty require regular reapplication of tby Laz - Main Forum
Opened it up, reinserted the end, and made up on it until it was snug. Every now and then I'd have to get under there and make up on the screw, which I had in an easy-to-reach-with-a-long-screwdriver position.by Laz - Main Forum
