They all have their nuances, like having to remove the rear bumper and intercoolers to change the spark plugs on the 996TT. That job is cake on the 986. The absolute worst in my book was the 951, damn I hated working on those things.

Try changing the plugs on a V8 F-150. The back ones are a PITA!

Hi everyone,

Check our new project on youtube about the Porsche. Let me know if you're interesting in it. Do I need to upload more projects like this?

I didn't find #6 on the 993 that difficult, but anything motor related to the 951 was sheer terror!

If you can't get them out without breaking.
