During a conversation about clearing my headlights, my neighbor asked "well, how much would new headlights cost"? Like that was a better option. I told him that the cheapest I had seen was $800. He didn't bring it up again. That is a good question though, because you can get really cheap suspension parts, (though I don't trust their quality). I've never seen bad quality cheap headlights. Poor people like me need a cheap headlight option for our Porsche.LoL. I guess doing regular headlight maintenance is our cheaper option. Thanks for watching

I am in the same boat. I also have a 2000. $920 for the Spec-D black smoke LED headlights.

Most of the aftermarket ones are junk. They only last a year or two and look like cheap jewelry.

I was dreading it to, but because of the ripped out back window, I had no choice. Make sure you have all of your tools and glue, etc. ready before you start. Also, have a place where the car can sit for three days. Then just take your time. Don't break anything on the frame or scratch the car. Then, when you're finished, be proud and relish the fact that you did it yourself. Good luck. thanks for watching, and let us know how it turned out.

Congratulations, and you are welcome. Thanks for watching

That's a great tip. I appreciate you sharing, and thanks for watching.

Welcome to the channel, and thanks for watching and subscribing. Hopefully I'll find the time to get some new videos made soon.

Thank you, and thanks for watching.

You are welcome, and thank you for watching.

Unfortunately (though fortunate for me) I haven't had to replace the top motor. Maybe someone else out there reading this can give us some pointers. Thanks for watching.

If you have smoke in your exhaust at start up, you probably have a bad air oil separator. Smoke in exhaust while accelerate is probably bad piston rings. The smoke I was experiencing was from the engine bay at high engine revs. Then I found the oil mess near a spark plug and realized it was a bad spark plug tube. Thanks for watching

Thank you!

Thank You

I got it at a hardware store, and unfortunately I don't know what it's called. If I remember correctly I just went in and described what I was looking for and the guy knew where it was. Sorry, but thanks for watching.

Transom plug

That's it! Thanks

Also, just did my tubes, plugs, coils; I would steer anyone trying to remove plug tubes to a 3/4" metal pipe fitting with threads, along with something to screw to the pipe fitting to hold and pry, it will work out better.

Thanks for the tip.

I added a cup holder that slips between the passenger seat and the console. Before that, I tried one that hooks in the window slot of the door. That did not work well while going around curves at speed.

Glad to hear it, and thanks for watching

Hello, So far all the parts I've put on the car have worked perfectly. I don't track the car, and I really don't usually push it that hard on the street, maybe some times. Most of the new parts have over a thousand miles on them and so far so good. Good luck, and thanks for watching.

t@@jasonsporschechannel945 thank you for your reply :) Now I am "dealing" with coolant missing. Previous owner did engine repair bcs of engine consumed water. But after this engine servis I am dealing with the same problem but.... Car is not overheating, pulls better then stock ( exhaust, desnorkel, denso iridium, KN filter ) but still the water is lower and lower... water pump is ok, I did the change personally. No leaks under the car... its mystery ...

That really is a mystery. It must be inside the engine if you don't see any leaks when it's parked. The coolant is evaporating out in such a way that it doesn't accumulate and drip out later. Wow, that's a tough one. Unfortunately I haven't had to do anything internal to my engine, so I don't know what to tell you. Good luck, and keep me posted.@@tomasabraham5651

I didn't do the tail lights on this video because they were all working at the time. Since then I have had to replace a brake light bulb. On my '99 it was super simple, no tools required. In the trunk there is a plastic trim nut holding a carpet piece in place behind the tail lights; you can unscrew it with your hand. Then pinch (push up) a gray tab that comes through the black housing and then pull the black housing piece straight back. All of your bulbs are connected to this housing (be careful). Then when you've replaced the bulb, carefully line up the bulbs with their holes and push the cover back on. The gray tab will lock it in place, then replace the carpet, securing it with the plastic trim nut. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

I got them from Amazon. I typically shop Autohaus, Parts Geek, Amazon, and Ebay. Thanks for watching

thanks. ill give them a try.@@jasonsporschechannel945

You are welcome. Thank you for your comment, and thanks for watching.

I'm not sure exactly where your top is loose. But follow along with the video, specifically for the problem area. When you have your specific plastic piece removed, tuck the roof material in (it might need some adhesive), then replace the plastic pieces to hold it in place. Pay close attention to the section of video where I attach the new roof in your problem area. There may be a special clamp or maybe a screw didn't go through a hole in the canvas, or something. Don't worry, I'm sure you can figure it out.

could it be the pressure release valve located next to the oil fill cap (and under the black cover) you might have a lot of air trapped in the system that is venting out, or you might have a faulty pressure release valve. Or is the hissing sound coming from the convertible top?

@@jasonsporschechannel945 Thanks for your quick reply~^^ you mean bleeder valve? i opened it(clip vertical position). it was in vain. Lack of coolant also might cause hissing sound? i don't have any alarms on dashboard. but i will refill a little coolant. If you let me know your email, i want share short movie what its hissing sounds like.

@@jasonsporschechannel945 when open convertible top I can hear hissing sound as well. so this roof can be excluded.

try 986 561 923 01, 986 561 924 01, or 986 561 393 01. Maybe one of those 3 will get you close. Thanks for watching

@@jasonsporschechannel945 appreciate it thank you

Guten Tag, and thanks for watching.
