APR's running prowess isn't the issue but rather their business practices. I wish Cobb would get their act together and jump in the VW market....APR would have to straighten up (or die)

Nope....only one dealer in VA, 2.5hrs away. There is one up in MD, about an hour away. Besides, I already bit the bullet and paid for the APR tune last month before reading more info on how the pricing has changed significantly since the sale of the company.

In the TT/GT2/GT3 variants Porsche actually used the 964 IMS/Bearing - it is a 'flat' style bearing that is fed oil from the engine. In all of the other variants of the 996 engines they had to use sealed ball bearing units that arent fed engine oil due to the 'cost saving' measure of not casting in oilways to feed the bearing. Unless you use something like LN Engineering's retrofit kit (they have developed hybrid ceramic bearing that doesnt fail but if it did it would fail like the flat bearing in the 964/996TT/GT2/GT3 engines which results in sloppy play of the IMS and not ball bearings falling out of their cups and playing ping-pong against the inside of an engine case) the new OEM bearing will fail again. |

is that a 996 issue only? IIRC, my buddy's 997 GT3 RS had issues too and the motor replaced at 6k miles.

IMS/Bearing issues are normally ascribed to 2000-2008 996/997 cars. by 2008 Porsche had updated the bearing. it doesnt fail nearly as often but cars that arent driven hard/enough seem to have higher rates of failure
GT3 engines in specific have coolant pipe issues. This is a turbo coolant pipe but it illustrates the issue nicely. the glue that holds the press fit hose barbs, after being heat cycled on the track, lets go. this dumps coolant over the rear wheels and causes the car to run into things easily, like walls at Road America I've seen some 997 GT3 RS's (Non 4.0L cars that have dropped some valves maybe thats what happened to your friends car) |

yeah not sure why nobody seems to mention teh coolant pipes, in the context of "bulletproof" metzger engines
The fix is pretty involved right? split the case for welding? |

All 911 engines since the 2.0 have an intermediate shaft, its what drives the camshafts... heres the PET catalog IMS screen for a 2007 GT3. I can pull the same drawing for all of them. The only difference is in the bearing design. You can see it even has a 959 part number so that particular one has been in use in cars for what ~35 years now? |

No? Pointing out there are VWs nicer than the TTRS. He said VWs are for teeny boppers. I'm assuming you actually read what I quoted when I posted it? As to the back tire rolling off, I can only assume you're drunk before noon.

I was not sure if you had a vision impairment or my leg was being pulled. I guess I'll go with the first choice since you also cannot see the huge gap behind the rear tire while the front of the tire appears to overlap the trim in the front of the wheel well. the front wheel looks normal. the back looks like a bad example of "can someone chop these wheels on this car". |

yes the difference is the bearing type and engine oil fed versus sealed. and yup on the 09ish update. |

His was a 2007 and had bearing failure. He ended up having a major off at VIR but don't think it was anything more than him carrying too much speed as he hit hard flush to the wall on the right. $40k fix later and he was back at it.

because the similarity in angles between the picture of your soccer mom bus and that TTRS is so close, it's uncanny. I concede; you have surely proven your point. odd that the effect only manifests itself on the rear wheel, despite the fact that the picture appears to be taken nearly dead on from the side. in any case - "dead sexy" ?!? I'm not cross-eyed, I guess? |

I don't think it's a problem in your vision, but rather the cognitive part behind it. Taste, how does it work? I think it's an extremely well designed body and a very classy look. The TT I think looks better in base form than the TTRS in terms of 'sexy'. Tell you what, how bout we take the Touareg and your STI and see which one draws more compliments from the womens (or if you're skywaffles, we can look for dudes) Last edited by ShadowIMg; 05-28-2015 at 02:14 PM. |
