  • Purchase decision 997

    Hello municipality, I’m new here in the forum and am currently making the decision to get pregnant with a used 911 997. Currently I have been ferrying a Opel Speedster for 7 years, which is also really fun. I feel a little more mature with 35 now and want to express this also with the mobile kit. The consideration goes to the fact that I want to get the 997. My limit is thus about 40,000 euros, which it can cost. If I look around at car smugglers and mobile I think it’s realistic. Often I have seen foreign registrations. These are much cheaper. Does something speak against such an increase? If so what? What should I look out for when I enter the buy negotiations? What is the problem? Is there what I should pay attention to with the engine? What with a certain number of kilometers with a high probability appearance? It would be great if you had to use the approximate price league of bigger things that could appear could list so that I have a house number, which can come to me so. Are many questions, I know, but I was pleased about a lively sympathy. Thank you in advance! Greeting Kai

  • CDI SEM 14-07 (2-strokes) instead of SEM 14-05 (4-strokes)?

    Hello! Last weekend I had the problem that my KTM (620’er LC4, Bj.95) under load, in a warm condition, died off as if the tank was empty. Ignition spark was gone. Had nevertheless adhoc seat and tank unscrewed and checked all connectors. Afterwards the ignition spark was back again, but probably due to the fact that the CDI unit had cooled down. It jumped on anyway again, but only ran for about 2km before it got off in the same way. Yesterday I checked the ignition spark again at home. It is there, but weak. This also shows the fact that it starts shortly and dies again after a few turns. Am I right with my guess that the CDI unit is defective? Replacement of the SEM 14-05 is used very rare and also expensive. New even more expensive….with such an old planer almost a value doubling 😉 Have already been googled a lot whether you can change other, more cost-effective units I have found an SEM 14-07 of a 2-Taker for this purpose. Does 2-Tacter CDI’s also work on 4-Tacters? The ignition coil provides the voltage and with the pick-up signal that comes from the ignition coil, I generate the ignition voltage. Can someone help me further, or did already have the same problem and a cost-effective solution? Thanks in advance!!!

  • Finally Spring

    Dear Porsche community, I have equipped my 997 with season marks for the first time. Due to the weather conditions, I did not bring it back to life on 01.03, but I want to make this up for this weekend. To “storage” I had increased the air pressure on all tires properly (and changed the car position every four weeks), connected the battery charger and filled the tank 3/4. Is there anything special – out of control and adjustment of the tyre pressure – u note if I take the car back into operation after almost 5 months? Greeting from Hamburg HH-ML

  • How do I drive a Porsche correctly?

    The title says it already, this is for absolute professionals! But seriously. I would like to know how you should drive your Porsche or how you should generally drive a Porsche and above all warm it up. Do you drive e.g. at max. 2000 turns until it is warm (I heard at a car show that you should do it). Or do you switch it sooner or later? And if it is warm, how do you drive? Of course, you can drive 50 in 5 or 6 gears but can’t drive it anywhere, too. I personally prefer to drive him in the 3rd gear in the city. There he is the most beautiful. But now some may say that it is not good to drive the car at 50 or 60 things in the 3rd gear and only at the above speeds in the 4th gear. If you have time and desire, you can tell me your driving technique. Please leave the fuel consumption outside, I have to know what is best (in the long term) for the Gracias!

  • Lifting bed steel rope torn

    Hi and hello! World started today (yesterday) on the autumn vacation, on arrival at the campsite came the bad awakening. See picture. On one side without warning both steel ropes are torn. And no, the stowage boxes are not overloaded. Has anyone ever had this before? Have now 6 hours emergency operation and I think I am now ready to have a sleeping possibility again and are also ready for driving. (steel ropes exchanged). The caravan is now about 5 years old (LMC Style 500 Lif). t) and only moderately used in the year. So I was and still am speechless.

  • Caravan protective roof – car is driven with roof

    Starting point: We are the owner of a well-kept Eriba/Hymer Nova caravan from 1994 – that is, an oldi. The car was always under roof outside of the holiday periods, which will soon be impossible due to a move. On the one hand, parking spaces in halls or similar are expensive, moreover rare and the car will in future also be on campsites monthly or seasonally. Even if the Hymer-Pual construction is very stable (in 1994 they were not completely wood-free), I fear, that with the age of the seals and sealing compounds a permanent stay outdoors is not good due to rain and UV radiation. The paint on the roof crawls out for a long time… Now I think about letting the car have a protective roof. The things are also available for driving with TÜV acceptance. At the front and back they go down quite far (such as window awnings), left and right they stand over 10 cm each. So a roof weighs completely with surrounding aluminium rim and lighting etc. c a. 66 Kg, which would fit just so weight-wise. Of course is not quite cheap, completely mounted with TÜV acceptance I have an offer for 4.4 TE. It’s about getting the car the best possible, I have converted many things and optimized for us and also invested in the vehicle technology (brakes, suspension, clutch) and wants to drive the still various years. Now the question(s): Will the driving behavior change significantly by the weight “on the roof” according to your opinion b Does anyone here have any experience with a viable protective roof – you can see it almost never? And are there any other thoughts about my considerations?

  • Macan Diesel Sport Auspuff NEW

    Hello, someone has information about how the new sports exhaust is built up via the Exclusive program. Shutter makes little sense with the diesel engine – does this go towards Audi (sound generator a la Ebersbächer)? What can you expect for just under €2500? Also only a relatively detaching other end pot (as written here by the petrol driver b time and again)

  • Trailer coupling preparation

    Since I am interested in a Cayenne from 2013 onwards, I read again and again about “Supplier coupling preparation”. What effort, technically and financially, is necessary to get the AHK that is necessary for me. A complete retrofit is supposed to be very complex, as can be read here in the forum. Thank you and greeting Rolf
