This what you're talking about?

I did it once, and can't remember exactly. Wire connectors give me fits. If my new to me euro 996 lwb seats show up tomorrow, I'll snap some pics on how I did it. If you figured it out already, post up.

Thanks Tom and good eye. They are one piece and I have the 2 missing ones. That is next on my list to do.

Third, the oil fill tube was broken, so I had to repair using the rubber neck down pipe joint from another thread. The good news is I got the mobil1 5w50 on deep discount from a local napa,, and the oil that I inspected was very clean of debris. Only typical tiny stuff. Next project, straightening out the audio system. Previous owner had installed an aftermarket bluetooth device and really hacked up the wiring harness. Im going to repair the harness, and install a bluetooth single din with small sub on rear shelf.
Sounds like a heck of a day. If you can post pictures of the oil typical tiny stuff and maybe consider sending it in for an oil analysis. Any other info about your car would be appreciated! Welcome!

Just FYI, I meant spare set of wheels.. If you want spares, as what you have are no longer made from what my search turned up, let me know.

I upgraded my UAOS accumulator to the new aluminum one.
In my opinion, this is a worthy upgrade, especially for anyone that plans to track their car.
It is a LOT more rugged than the original accumulator.

Thought about that but even if that works one of the teeth is stripped pretty well so I will just wait until I get a new one. First time taking the wheels off since I took ownership but I managed to get one side off so I can take that one to the dealer and have them match it up.

Exactly what I was doing, good to see everyone hates wheel locks as much as I do
