Exactly, cast doesn't like shock... the GT2 was a champ for so long, driven like a rally car knew I had to at some point soon enough, it decided for me

did a 4" ERam install today on a 6tt...old hydraulics completely flat/broken...
tip to get wing up, m8 bleeder screw or grease nipple into the bottom of the ram, use grease gun to pump the wing up and get to the bayonet mount on wing base
Great twisties in about 25-30 minutes... The friend with the 458's is 5 minutes from one of the canyons we often run.
It is nice to be close. Superb weather today as well... Full cloud cover to keep the heat down, but no rain. We also had surprisingly thin traffic for a weekend, had huge stretches to ourselves.

That's nice that they are so close - planning a trip (far) out of town is a bit of a performance here.
Fathers day weekend was a bust in Maine. Cold temps, windy as hell and rain off and on ( probably sounds familiar to some). Monday brought pure sun and mid 70's . It was a holiday here but I work anyway so drove it to work. Great day for the TT and not a bug to be cleaned off the car when I got back home. The Porsche dealer even had the two bolts I needed for my stock exhaust straps. $2.36 for the pair. May be the cheapest 996TT item I've purchased yet ( or ever). Some kid in a WRX ran up on my bumper on the highway running home. Bye bye.
Started the work to change my alternator and i noticed this after removing my airbox. I am most certain the serpentine belt is wrongly routed, but what boggled my mind is somehow luckily the car ran fine. Purchased the car last August and have driven around 2000 miles before alternator failed. Luckily it did! Looks to me belt is installed like NA car???
Yes I will be installing a new belt as well. The correct routing of serpentine belt is no different for X50 and non x50 cars correct? Following pic thanks to Clint Hightowers helpful videos.
