So everyone--including freshly registered people just off the boat--know you're not serious, only joking. We don't want to cause any scarred-for-life emotional trauma 'round here.

On the issue of the life of shocks.

How long will the aftermarket shocks last? Are both time and mileage considerations?

I ask because my 97 had H&R coilovers installed when it was new or a year later, I'd have to check my paperwork to be sure. I believe the shocks are Bilstein. The car now has 12,500 miles on it and the shocks seem fine, actually the suspension is stiffer than other 993 with regular shocks that I've driven.

So... first 1999Porsche911 posts a wildly incorrect statement about shocks lasting the lifetime of the car, and gets called out on that. 1999Porsche911 hurriedly deletes his post since reinstated by the moderator.

Originally Posted by 1999Porsche911

One symptom of a bad shock is continued bouncing after hitting a bump. You should be able to press down on the corner of your car and the car should spring back up with no bouncing.
A few hours later on the same thread, JustAnotherPorsche attacks one of the people who called out 1999Porsche911's bogus statement.

On another forum, 1999Porsche911 starts a new thread about clutch life. Within 50 minutes, he gets his first reply, from JustAnotherPorsche. Oddly, both posts come from the same IP address:

First post by 1999Porsche911: The IP Address is: 67.175.14.212. The host name is: c-67-175-14-212.client.comcast.net.
Second post by JustAnotherPorsche: The IP Address is: 67.175.14.212. The host name is: c-67-175-14-212.client.comcast.net.

So the only question left, is: are you off your medication, or are you just trying to game the system to cause trouble? In either case, I think you need to rethink your behavior.

I think a public apology is in order for both playing with yourself and attacking others. Playing with yourself is something best done in private, rather than sharing it with the rest of us. Do it again, and you'll be banned from these forums.

I have had 2 porsches before my 996 and eached had over 100,000 miles on the original clutch. My current 996, althought going through back tires every 10,000 miles, has the orginal clutch after 5 years and 45,000 miles.

I would be interested in hearing from others on their clutch life.
