Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I purchased the car a few months ago, and I have not had a chance to drive it much, but I just love the car. The car has stainless steel headers, a lightened flywheel and a racing clutch. Could I get more performance if I installed a performance air intake, if so what kind? I plan on changing the oil shortly. I would like to know if this car has a dry sump tank. I have a 1970 911 T which has a dry sump system. Can someone refer me with a good technical manual about this car. I would appreciate your help, Thank you, Vince

POST 2Original post

Can't comment on air intakes, but these models have what Porsche refers to as "integrated dry sump"...translation = it doesn't have an external sump and is pretty much like any "ordinary" car - one drain plug. Popular site for the Mk1 (99-01) manual is at www.cannell.co.uk/Manuals.htm Oh yeah, and helpful DIYs etc can be found at www.renntech.org if you don't already know the site. Welcome to 996-dom...great place to be.

POST 3Original post

Man, gave him the farm with no pics? I vote for ban! Welcome - post some pics

POST 4Original post

He had me duped since he mentioned already owning a vintage 911... Alright, I'm a *****.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for letting me know there is no sump tank. I will later acquaint myself with Rennteck.

POST 6Original post

If you plan on taking the car to the track a good modification is to change the suspension. Air/exhaust is a fairly good modification but don't count on feeling any significant HP difference.
