Default What's in your tool kit?
I'm trying to piece together a complete tool kit for my 996 GT3. It looks like there are some items missing. Right now it has the following items:
- Wheel key x 1
- Tow hook x 1
- Wheel bolt helper x 2
- Fix a flat x 1
- Electric air pump x 1

I know I'm missing the headlight tool. Is there anything else that belongs in the tool kit?

Thanks

Are they still coming loose when torqued to 48-50 ft-lbs?

Assume you already have the 19mm socket and breaker bar, torque wrench and jack!

Yup, I have all of that stuff. I'm more looking to complete the factory stuff that is in the bonnet.
