<Tim whispers so Phil can't hear> Damn, I love it when Phil posts stuff.... responding to him is more fun than bashing Newbies.

If you put a rear spioler on the front of a car, it will create upforce (lift) and the front end will be very light and skidish. However, in your case, I don't think you will notice the difference, because the car has to be moving for the effects to be felt. <Tim whispers so Phil can't hear> Damn, I love it when Phil posts stuff.... responding to him is more fun than bashing Newbies.

I also thought about the blend 91+100 to match some good 95 and have all the poneys running under the hood.
The Shell oil is usually good. I used it in championship during 6 years and never had an issue even at VERY high temperature. This doesn't mean it's better than Mobil or Castrol, but means it's not a crap.
@TimK : what is that ugly signature??? Come on man, it's a Porsche forum here :-P
@itacud: My 4S is silver too and has a turbo tail - that will be removed next service.
Are you in LG too ? Ping me for a glass or lunch

Yeah, I know that it's ugly, but you didn't have to to rub it in!!!
Just for the record, I did have a sweet looking '04 C2 in Lapis Blue over Gray up until June 1st of this year. Maybe someday I can get back into a P-car. Unitl then, I am stuck with that POS!

This shop has been in the same location and only work on P-cars since ? (way back) I was a caught off guard when the suggestion AWAY from M1 came to me, but I went with it and so far I am very happy with the way the car is running.
The Shell Helix is also what Ferrari runs in their cars. Its available for ~$20/qt at the dealer
Yikes!
The shop I go to buys it in 55/gal drums and sells it for about $8 ? qt (didn't really look too closely as I was in sticker shock at the time)
Good luck finding some, I think its worth the effort (newbe talking)
