Just like to know what's it's for before I remove. 911slow says its for electric seat which I think he's rt. here is some ugly pics of removal of rear side impact bar since don't need it since a full rollcage will be welded in. That sucker is heavy- the middle bar is 15 lbs and havent removed side brackets but they look like 5 lbs each side(total wt 25 lbs). Still plenty of stuff underway. My mechanic/friend is dealing with ac/heater core and associated plumbing. Regards. Mike

Considering what you just did to your car Mike.....I don't think you'll let a little black box get in your way.

My hat is off to you.

edit: when I finally get down to CA, I'm going to introduce you to a plasma cutter. It's a little more elegant than the axe you used. lol!

This? If so, I also wondered what it was for. This is from my former C4S.

M535 is immobilizer control and alarm unit.

So its either alarm or power seats something

Mr. plasma Mike is a man, real men only use real tools like hammers, axes and..









































































































duct tape sometimes

I have red duct tape : ). I rather weld new sheet metal over it but we'll see. Mike

yep that's the box- if alarm or seat or both- it will be so gone : ). Mike

Mike, this is a Porsche, not some Honda Civic. At least clean up the axe marks a bit. Take some masking tape and lay it out to make a straight line along your hack marks. Then use an air-powered cut off tool (with those 3" cutting wheels) and carefully cut along the tape to form a nice clean edge.

Sparks will fly and you need good eye protection.

Aren't u glad I'm not drilling your teeth : ). Neway my friend mechanic hacked it but for sure once everything done it'll look more proper. I know- it's fking ugly!!!

If you have a Porsche part number I will look up part name.

AllanJ

YES! You would be very scary as a dentist. lol!

Grab some weld through primer or other zinc-rich paint and be sure to touch up any cut areas to help prevent rust in the future. I wish I lived by you right now. I'd be right over to give you a hand. Hacking up cars is fun.

Allan I am under the impression that you welded the coolant fittings more for the fun of it than the actual problem

996FLT6

My motor will be dropped again to work on said coolant fittings. Though never had one blow it's safe insurance since next season I'll be joining Mooty in the race ranks : ). Be real fun : ). Mike
