I found a split left outer cv boot. Thinking the boost were the same as the 928/930/944 change it only to find the shaft diameter is smaller. Duh!! So I order the correct boot along with new undercarriage clips. Annnnd those took care of the annoying metallic tensing noise I would get when putting the car into reverse or climbing a slight incline ie. parking.
Now next issue is recurring knocking noise from the front suspension. Last time I changed ball joints and the noise went away. It's back again after 5000km. I think it's my fault for buying then cheapest LCAs I could find. Think I'll spring for branded parts the next time.
I need the advise of this brain trust.
I found another 996tt with all the tuning bits I like: new coil overs, GT2 rear wing, front splitter, exhaust system, and 19in wheels. The asking price is cheap ie. under 30k. I wonder how much will all those goodies cost? Maybe it's worth my time to buy it, swap the parts out and sell it as a more stock car. I'd have to factor in paint.
It has 130,000km mine has 40,000.

Oooooh givin the old girl some new shades! Love it!
I could live with the many pits and light scratches of what I think was the original, 19 year old windshield, but a highway rock hit a few weeks ago did her in with a big crack right through the drivers field of view....
I went with FYG glass. OE seal and trim. About $450 all in. FYG glass looks excellent on inspection.

How hard was it to get the original off? I just got a new windshield a few months ago and the old one (original 19 year old) was a complete bear to remove.
