You can get ceramic spray on stuff, used that in the past and did a good job against stones and bug guts.

Seeing what ever non-S 987 are going for on BaT and listed is nuts but encouraging. Pretty sure I could offload it for a decent profit if I needed to. But AC 911s are going for even crazier money and that's about the only thing I'd sell the cayman for at the moment. Radiator screens arrived a couple hours ago. Not sure if I'll wait until I do the third radiator or just install the side ones now.

Bajaha posted:Punish me Porsche daddy. You're worth it. This is my wallet every time something Porsche specific is needed on the Macan. So it is very much applicable to me. Just paid an indie shop to perform the 4 year / 50k km PDK fluid and filter change. PDK unicorn blood is expensive and the temperature specific filling procedure would make me question my sanity if I tried it myself without the right tools (including at the minimum a quick jack).

willroc7 posted:They have a tiny bit of yellowing on the inside. Should I keep looking? Up to you really. I had my 987 headlights polished to the max and the fading of the internal plastics bugged me enough that I ended up dropping $$$$ on a new OE set of headlights. But then again I tend to be a little  about keeping things looking like new. See my thread for reference for my particular brand of crazy.

Unless you find new ones at this point all 986 lights are probably going to be yellowing.

CEL tripped again, same codes, indicate MAF. Got a new OEM Bosch unit. Actually bought it from Amazon but had the 996# right on it. Replaced it, cleared codes, fired it up keeping my OBD2 reader plugged in. Immediately ran like absolute dogshit. Threw 10 new codes within seconds. Stench of raw fuel in the exhaust. BUT, after a few more seconds starting running noticeably smoother... and progressively better. Took it out for a rip, babying it at first. No stumbles, misses. Took it out on the highway and got it to redline up to 3rd and no hesitation. No CEL again either (probably put on 20k) A bit of reading shows that some say after the MAF is replaced the ECU does a re-learn, not sure about the truth of that but it did certainly run better after running a bit  I'll drive it a bit more tonight but if the CEL trips again, I'm thinking I'm going to have to go over my intake that I disassembled when doing the hoses a couple months ago. Maybe something isn't tight? But hopefully it was legit the MAF and we're good.

Sensor recalibration, especially for mass airflow sensors, is very much a thing. If the ECU was compensating for your MAF failing the I would absolutely expect it to idle like poo poo. Based on the description I would totally bet money that it was the airflow sensor and the CEL won't be coming back.

Good to know - appreciate it. Will put some more miles on it later tonight and see if it comes back. Here's to hoping, I really don't want to go through that intake/TB/plenum again. It's a pain in the rear end.

I cleaned the MAF sensor on my 3.6 Passat today, along with the throttle body. Did the exact same thing at startup. Just view that as a good sign. Your parameters were tweaked for the first start, it reset to factory, and it'll tune from there. In a couple drive cycles it'll be as good as it can be.slidebite posted:That's getting into TT territory. *What was formerly TT territory. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2003-porsche-911-turbo-91/

Detailing is done. I sprung for the ceramic coating and it's astonishing how much of a difference it makes. Got the seats treated too.

Looks good, it is amazing how well these cars hold up to time. My previous 99 986 looked half its age after a good polish, ceramic coat and some scratch repair. Glad you have the later 3 spoke wheel as the earlier 4 spoke one I found annoying to get my hands around when doing auto cross. I am planning to get my S done but it needs a some scratch repairs and a good barring first. Seats are ok but the wheel needs to be redone as it has that shiny worn leather look to it.

I really like the tan interior too. My black on black is nice but I think the tan just looks a little nicer Matched with guards red would probably be my favorite combo. Need to give mine a proper polish as well.

Ceramic coatings are so nice, quick wipe down looks like you spent a day detailing. Did it on the E30 when I bought it and seven or eight years later it still looks amazing. Agree that black with tan is a really nice combo. My black on black looks nice but it's hot as hell and I would have preferred a tan or whatever that rare-ish dark brown interior option was. Doing a driving tour with the local club Saturday, need to give mine a quick wash and maybe polish/wax/coat the headlights if I have time.

Speaking of ceramic coatings, I'm thinking of getting a Fister (lol) exhaust for my 993. https://fdmotorsports.net/shop/ols/products/fister-993-stage-ii-sport-exhaust-modification Worth getting a ceramic coating on the muffler?

Link is not fully loading for me, but assuming the exhaust is stainless personally I'd have a hard time justifying it, but

Seems like a relatively minor adder, coating should help reduce how much heat the exhaust is rejecting to the surrounding parts and helps with any corrosion issues, although I doubt your 993 will be seeing salt spray anytime soon. From the link it looks like just the mufflers? Usually the benefit is more noticeable on headers and in turbo applications where you want to keep things as hot and energetic as possible pre turbo. Aesthetic wise they're not really a visible thing so not much of an argument in favor there.
