!@#$%^&* Newbies!!!!

Now you guys know why I give them so much sh*t when the first get here. If they are serious about being here, they buck up and post some pics, and grow thicker skin. If the are not serious, they crawl off, get back under the bridge and die!

Man, I feel better now!

It's a 1999 996 here's a video of the noise, sound quality is not that great though

My recomendation is take to the shop and have a real person listen to it. Halvin
