996 IMS engine issue - 2000 3.6L help.
#49
Thank you pete I needed that. Tusler, I'm getting rid of the RS since I really dont drive it anymore. I think an rs that only sees the street is a waste . For the occasional DE's it was awesome. But now I want to start club racing and that would mean converting the car which doesnt make sense since a 997 Cup car would cost less. I'm just starting to race and I think something a little less extreme and without all that electronic assistance will help when making the move to a cup in a few years. An RS with everything shut off (which is how I drive it) still allows the driver to go a lot faster around the track than his abilities would normally allow for. I'm inspecting a so cal converted 996 race car on Monday. If all goes well I'll be racing it shortly.

I was in no way questioning your position as a PCA instructor, I was simple pointing out that I was quoting you and didn't want my comment to be taken as fact.
Personally, I couldn't care less if you're an instructor or not so no need to PM me your credentials.
And yes, I certainly do have issues, most of us do...
And BTW, if you 6-Speed you certainly know the search function exists so I call BS on this point...Anyway, I'm off to the 993 board to ask if anyone there knows about the top-end rebuild issue.

You sound like just the instructor/coach I've been looking for. I wasn't aware PCA acknowledged the ol' single digit salute as an official signal.

Mediator - I started this thread yesterday and it really isn't going anywhere. I got the information I needed from a few good guys. I suggest removing it now. Thanks. I was told by a few people rennlist is where the racers are and the place to get some good insight. I have to say I've posted a ton on 6speed and never encoutered such nonsense. Hopefully one day we'll meet in person and we'll see just how tough some of you really are; then I'll finish you off on the track. Good day.
Big Al will knock you out and take your lunch money. Then to add insult to injury, he'll beat your *** on the track also.
And I've got the "issues". LOL

For what it's worth Big Al - I had a PPI done by my trusted mechanic on a used 2004 cab. I decided I didn't want to worry about it, so I simply replaced the IMS with the LN model. The IMS that came out was in fair shape, couldn't really see anything wrong with it.
Don't worry about the flaming replies here. Everyone's got a right to post whatever they want - just don't take any of it to heart. We should all be here because we are fanatically interested in our P-cars. Egos and insecurities should be checked at the door.
Good luck with the track car and keep us posted on it. I'm not a tracker, but I imagine I will be eventually.

P.S. - Moderator, I suggest you leave this thread up as a model of how NOT to behave.

This **** is seriously getting old.
Big Al, you know everything I quoted you stating above plus you are a PCA Instructor(I have no proof of this) yet somehow you do not know how to use the search function on RL.
This topic has been beaten to death, no really it has. According to the info. here on RL the 3.6 is at least as prone to the I#$% explosion as the 3.4L.(IMHO, you have ALMOST the same chance of being struck by lightning as having your I%^& detonate) Yet you start this thread by asking if the 3.6s suffer from #$^&*#@#&&&.
Mederators, quick question. Could you please HIGHLIGHT AND UNDERLINE the Admin. suggestion, at the top of the thread, to do a search before asking BS I$%^ questons!?!?!?

Hey Dreamcarrera when are we meeting up for a meal at the smorgasburg? Should I invite Big Al hehe.. No I don't think that would be the best of ideas. It would only turn into a food fight haha.. Then he would burn you off along the 322 to add insult to injury lol. So drop me a message when you are ready. ..
