Got this little beauty delivered today, OEM carbon, new tiptronic shifter. I had my eye on it well over a year and he wouldn’t shift on the initial asking price, and now after everyone has been locked down for so long the price came down very rapidly!
Very happy, looks like I’ll have something to install over the weekend
I had never experienced something like the clutch failure before...
As soon as I left 1st gear, there was nothing. Every gear position was a brick wall, no where to go! So yeah, the shift lever just flopped around with no where to go. Tried to jam it over into reverse, felt like I partially forced it in, car stalled. No warning on clutch, no prior slippage. I thought it was in good condition.
That's strange that it just failed without prior warning, bad situation to be in.. How many miles were on the clutch, is it the original that came with the car?
Replaced the steering wheel on my 2007 Carrera S with one from a 2016 MECAN I found on eBay. Quick job, took me less than an hour. My interior is Cocoa and the MECAN color is Espresso. They are very close. I will see if the slight difference in color bothers me.
I took the car out for a test drive and the steering wheel feels much better than the sport wheel that was on the car.
what all was involved in this swap. And how much was the wheel/airbag.
Put on a new set of 18" BBS E88 and installed a painted center console and alcantara armrest to tie in with my OEM GT3 steering wheel, shift ****, and e-brake handle

Have you noticed any change in the way the car runs? Rough or uneven idle? Reduction in low rev torque? Anything negative at all? Thanks.
No change whatsoever to the way the car runs, overall increase in torque, 12 HP increase. Nothing negative, just smiles from the driver. The sound from the sports car is the way it should have been from Porsche!
Been putting this off for 6 months as it looked to be a big job but turned out only to take me 2 hours and saved time going to the dealers. I have a third part warranty but still figured I would give it a shot and glad I did. &37 part from pelican and a very helpful diy on youtube ends in a fixed door handle.
Installed the Kenwood double DIN DNX 997XR in my 997.1. Great unit and features. Glass touch screen, mic for phone, Bluetooth, wi-fi, EQ, SAT, Nav, HD radio, CD, micro SIM reader, backup camera,CarPlay,2 USB connectors
and pre amp module. Kept everything else from the Bose system and it sounds like a new system entirely. Purchased from Car Audio Innovation out of California. They provided great advice and support. They provided a clear installation manual and demo cds. Highly recommend these guys.

Nicely done. Investing in a trim kit helped a lot. Not a big change, but makes the car feel more solid exiting, which is nice for a 14 year old car.
