I used to get the secondary air injection system fault on my 996 turbo. Happened maybe 5 times in the 7 years I had it. Hartechs advice (probably the UKs most respected 996/997 specialist) was to buy a cheap OBD dongle off the internet and just reset it when it randomly pops up. 👍🏻

The 996 looks mint!! Can’t wait to keep seeing the 997 come together

Looks great but now you need to order the shorter ones for the front and sell the longer ones. My OCD is killing me that the rears look great now and the fronts stick out like that

Matt. Look into Esco Jack stands if you are working on 911’s. They are flat topped and ridiculously strong. You can use them on Jack points of 911’s with or without a puck. My car sat on 4 of them for many months and I had zero concerns as they are so well built and secure.

@@matt13ross Reputable mechanics/shops always torque to spec. There is a reason why Porsche does it…. Otherwise, why bother specifying it on repair manuals….. Right? Not torquing axles, suspension components, or wheels to the right amount is always a safety concern (especially while driving at higher speeds). As for taking criticism (or not), there are a series of replies (from you) in which you have came across short/edgy. You may want to revise them if you are curious. A group of people have made similar observations… so maybe there’s something. The bottom line is… no one is hating or knows it all!!! We are all car enthusiasts that share info for mutual benefit.
