It won't work, Porsche has arranged for the water to be added to the engine from an internal source.

BAWHAHAHAHAHA! Hey, I recognize that guy!

Well, you only have to worry about that for half of the year, because it's so cold in in Minneapolis that water flows only 6 months out of the year. Icicles melting on your roof line do not count as flowing water.

OK I wasnt going to post here as I had nothing to add... but Maci, thats some funny drawings there!



The cap door could be re-inforced by swapping the plastics parts out with custom machined aluminum or stainless steel.... anyone REALLY got to have these I will consider it, but its not going to be cheap.... have to reverse engineer the parts first...then make some to see how they fit... after that the price comes down if we want more

Why would someone force the locked gas fill door open to sabotage your car?

A month??..... A month??..... as in one month????? I don't think so!!!! How about 18 months!!!!! You got your car in late December of '05 and reported the little green circle issue in July of '07.

I may have been born at night, but it wasn't last night!

Hey Phil, I am so glad to have you back here!
