I think it's dporto's way of saying, "Hey Rennlist, McMaster springs are on me!"

I removed the helper spring yesterday. Not too bad but do remove the vent duct.
I LOVE IT! The car has a whole different personality. Feels like a Porsche again.
As to the cruise control, gently, GENTLY, extend the plunger so it meets the revised pedal position. In my case it took two clicks. Everything work perfectly.
Best mod yet to my 996.
Thanks all.
Larry

And now that doing this mod is familiar and I'm guessing much easier the 2nd time, is there a suspected cause and solution?
The click you're hearing is probably either the cruise control switch or the ignition lock switch. You can crawl under there and manually activate each one with your hand to find out for sure though.

Would anyone be willing to help out an Irish 996 owner

McMaster dont seem to post international, I'd be greatful and will pay all costs if a member would mail a spring to a friend of mine in Tenessee.
I'm visiting him in two weeks and can bring home myself.

Thanks

Larry Hughes was third on the list but he PM'd me that he's going to stay spring-less.

Neil_Ireland, unfortunately none of us have the spring yet. I could add you to the list and get the order going, but I can't guarantee that I'll have the springs delivered from McMaster and to your friend in two weeks. Let me know.

I'd happily pay postage/costs to Ireland if a member would post one?

My pleasure. I'll place the order hopefully this weekend. Currently at the DFW airport and in the process of getting blitzed by this weather. Will order as soon as I can.
