    Factory hood and hatch shocks

    I purchased Kendall’s struts, much better than stock (you can “see“ and feel the quality), and what I also discovered is when back from a leisurely drive and parked under my 4 post lift, the clam shell can be opened and hold position at less than full extension (I open it about half way for...

    Muffler weld-Panel screws location help

    Gents, a weld on my Heffner muffler cracked (see picture below), repaired now (not an easy fix, since the whole muffler required removal, coating sand blasted, welded, and recoated- more on that later in this post...). With remote support from Kendall I was able to remove the muffler. (Thank you...

    Something dark and sinister lurking

    Good choice and congratulation! Greedy overage and you ain’t kidding, one Porsche outfit wanted MSRP x 2 and “suggested” I purchase a floor model Carrera S from him while I wait for the GT3, I asked him if he knows someone that can tile the Pacific ocean :rolleyes:

    Something dark and sinister lurking

    They make nice cars, but,…, they don’t make them available to the average mortal (unless you’ve bought a million Porsche already, or you’re one of Ferdinand’s siblings). I’ve been after a GT3 Touring manual for over a year with zero luck.

    Dash Gauges

    Suggest a new battery if yours is 3+ years old, Red Top group 25 Optima, they’re a hit and miss after Johnson Controls (now Clarios) moved the factory to Mexico, my last one lasted 13 years, changed mine for same a couple of weeks ago (wasn’t experiencing any gauge issues, but 13+ years, it was...

    Battery for 2006 gt

    Grp 25 install complete while the factory cigarette lighter charger plugged in (so no need to reset smog monitors- Thanks Kendall !), picture of the installed grp 25 and the removed grp 35 below, notice the covered side terminals on the grp 35, not a big fan of the side terminals so close to...

    Battery for 2006 gt

    Negative on the label swap (no pun intended :giggle:), I'll remove and see if there are side terminals as I belive the 35 has them in addition to the top terminal. Here's a picture of the group 25 to be installed tomorrow (on a maintainer now to ensure 100% charge before install).

    Battery for 2006 gt

    Thank you, the mystery now is why in tarnation I replaced it with a group 35? Anyone knows a good Neurologist?🤣

    Battery for 2006 gt

    Are you guys sure it’s group 25 and not group 35? I picked up a group 25 but when I started the swap I discovered the existing one to be group 35.

    New owner in SoCal

    Congrats on the FGT, you’re going to fall in love- Easy on the gas pump nozzle as you insert it in the fill hole, the plastic “flapper” is finicky and prone to cause issues.
