I am requesting Heath Ledger as the Joker next. I am not sure he needs a line; perhaps just the mad laughing would be enough...

That you actually typed in, then blurred the nametag, that sir, is impressive.

Is that photo of the Borg, or is that VW's CEO at the last EU autoshow?

My guess is that every great artist has at least one piece they regret...

A more fitting movie quote that best suites the 996 is:

"You can't polish a turd."

from Stephen Kings movie, Christine

Really? is that the comment you want to make on a forum full of 996 owners?

Where that logic fails is that "each clutch" is as disparate as "each owner". The prior owner of my Porsche managed to wear it half-gone in 30K miles. The racing shop that replaced it (and installed the LN bearing) told me they typically replace clutches in daily-driver cars at a minimum of 75K miles. My own experience has been, I've never had to have a clutch replacement even on cars with 150K or more.

Replace the IMSB with each clutch doesn't work for me, in the case of my Boxster. 248K+ miles and it is on its original clutch.

Due to a starting issue, that has happened before, I think I'm going to have to replace the clutch interlock switch again though. This will be the 3rd one.

Sincerely,

Macster.

I have no interest in opening an IMS discussion, so please do not. I am however sorry to see the passion with which the tech expert responded in the negative.

That you can discuss.
They must be Rennlist members.
