Here's one: my extra drivers seat bolster is seriously flawed. Is there anyway of detaching the top portion of a new seat to the existing base of mine to make an essentially new hybrid? In other words, are the seat bottom and tops modular?

Cleaning wheels sensors is next on the list (there are plenty of threads about it)
Could a wheel sensor have been affected when they took the axle apart to replace the CV boots?

It should work. I've taken my backs off. They appear to be modular. But I haven't tried swapping backs with another pair. Keep us posted.

Wouldn't hurt to top it up...
Anything I need to know to top off my brake fluid? What fluid should I buy and do I just unscrew the top and pour it in? Feel like an idiot asking but better safe then sorry

Ate200 is very good. You need dot 4 fluid. Never dot 5.

Yes just poor it in. To the "Max line" is fine.

Flush all the brake fluid once or twice per year. Most people go way longer than that. But fresh brake fluid helps keep the internals of your hard lines and slave cylinder and your brakes etc all not corrode from the inside out.

Thanks!

On another note, anyone know a good place to order a longneck g-pipe from in the US? Everyone sells the shortneck version, but not sure who to source a long neck from. TIA!

FWIW, I'm running the "short" G-pipe. I did a quick search and found the long neck versions available on eBay.

Can anybody identify these as being from a 964 turbo?
I got them with my 964 purchase from the PO and was interested in finding a value so I could list them for sale.

One seat back carpet missing.

They are from a 91-92 turbo the 94 turbo had a different script and said turbo 3.6. If you are looking to sell let me know.

Default Pax Door Adjustment

Is there a procedure for adjusting the passenger door? The driver's side is perfect but I really have to slam the passenger door. Kind of annoying.

When I bought my car the outer most plastic cover for the trunk release lever was broken and being held on with the incorrect bolts. I looked up the parts in the Porsche catalog and purchased the new cover piece (part #31) and two of the proper bolts (part #30). I tried installing it and quickly realized that there isn't anything for the bolts to thread into. I could get a nut on the lower bolt to tighten it up, but the catalog doesn't show any nuts to secure this piece. Also, I can't get a nut on the top bolt so it's loose.

So how am I supposed to secure this piece? What am I doing wrong?
