Good afternoon everyone,
so I just made some orders today and can't wait to get everything done when the parts show up. My C2 just rolled over 60K miles as of last week and I did a tune up on her, serpentine belt, oil change, air filters, oil filters, and spark plug replacements.

I like the handling with the H&R SS springs but I want more performance and adjustability out of my suspension so after some searching and reading I decided on the H&R coilovers. I will be auto-crossing but she is still my DD. It seemed like they fit the bill for DD and light track duty. The EPS clutch kit I ordered after reading a thread on here and wow, $441 shipped is a great deal for OEM supplier parts and more clutch disc surface area.

I do have a question, what bushings should I replace? I will be replacing the shock/strut mounts when doing the coilovers.

You're in for a pleasant surprise, the coilovers will really transform the car
I've had PSS10's on for almost 2 years now (@-15mm)

Consider the H&R 23mm & 26mm upgraded sways and a set of spacers

timing belt?

partyelmarty

The car does have ECS Tuning spacers on it already, I forget the size as they were on it at the time of purchase. Thank you, I will consider sways!

Just did that about two weeks ago. I'll be doing the water pump soon as well.

I think the correct terminology is serpentine belt.

vitaminC

Probably you mean the serpentine belt. These have timing chains...

partyelmarty

I assume that's what he meant.

Why would I need to mess with timing chains on a 60K mile engine?

stan23

That was my joke. You wrote timing belt. The M96 motor does not have a timing belt.

partyelmarty

Sorry, I don't always grammar check. I'm not stupid, you know what I meant. No need to be a dick. It was a typo

vitaminC

What we really want to know is which oil do you use?


But seriously... where are you located? I'm always hoping to see more 996's at the local AX.

partyelmarty

Whatever Porsche recommends, I'm not an oil expert so I leave that to the pros lol.

So I was a dick for posting this?

Timing belt?

Since you are doing the clutch :
RMS -replace with upgrade
DMF = measure play
AOS - while you have easy access

AWDGuy

depends who you talk to, some beleive that's the prime mileage to replace them.
