Yes thats the amp. Throw it away with the radio and get a decent 4x50 amp. I got a kenwood for about $150 and put it in the same spot. If u get the continental it may only have a high line (speaker wire not rca) input so make sure u get an amp that accepts high line so u wont need an aditional adaptor.
Glad to hear oil pressure readings are good. Successfully changed oil and filter for the first time yesterday.
Engine # found while underneath: M96/0166W05174. Anything noteworthy with that number?
EDIT: As I understand the decoding, W = built in 1998, serial 05714. Any sense for how early that engine is? Seems this should be the original engine, given Feb '98 build date of the car. Does this further confirm working theory that it's a double row IMSB? And also the score-proof cylinders, right?

Thanks all for your quick and thoughtful responses. I wish I knew how to multi-quote, without spending all afternoon cutting and pasting, but here are some responses/clarifications:
I *do* love driving the car
Work situation for 5+ years was such that the optics of driving *this* car was problematic. Thus the 2005 F150 crew cab with lumber rack. ;-)
#1 reason to switch to a Tesla is not performance, it's environmental conscience, esp with two younger kids (11 and 7) talking about it daily
The environmental impact of manufacturing a Tesla is so much greater than the environmental impact of the fuel usage of the 911 that is already produced. It's not even close.
I wouldn't bother with IMS nor replace a clutch that isn't showing signs of being worn.
If your goal for the radio is just to get Bluetooth there are many cheap and easy options for using your original radio still. Becker Autosound offers either a piggyback harness you can install yourself or you can send it to them and they will send you back a result radio that has the Bluetooth internally.
I've had good luck with my cowl trim, but my lower grill plastic trim just keeps fading. I've tried a few different products with no luck. Maybe op will have better luck than I!
