Very possible

Had it happen to me. Had a rock hit the windshield, give me a small chip. Parked the car outside; when I came out at the end of the day had a crack practically across the width of the windshield.

You can't easily bleed the tire pressure down. I got a analog gauge unit with a hose. Can easily read pressures and bleed air out of the tire.

Do not TOUCH the lines!!!!!

I've written it umpteen times - obviously you're too lazy to search. SS lines are asking for trouble. Have heard of several ones failing and personally witnessed one fail. All are under heavy...

Piston hanging up

When you release the brakes, the piston is not compressing back into the caliper; it's still applying the brakes. Might try this.

First, clean the piston area with brake cleaning spray. Then,...

1/2 to 3/4 extra turn? You're kidding!!!!!!

AFTER it's on hand-tight (i.e., no tools)? This would tighten it so much that you'd NEVER get it out without destroying it! Made such a mistake once on my 911 - tightened the filter an extra 1/2...

Zero cost/easy way

Let the air out of the tires

Seriously, if you're changing springs, change the shocks too. Bilstein HD's with factory Sport springs work fine; any lower and car would prob. bottom at times.

You forgot something...

On the Porsche 911 series they issued shop manual "changes" for various 911 series. So, if you had the last of the air-cooled series - the 993 - when you bought the shop manual for the 993 (at...

Bring it back and say you still have the same problem. Describe to them what you're telling us re sporatic behavior.

Similar dopey move

Old '76 Porsche 911. With car in my garage, left one key in the ignition, other on spare seat (for the life of me I don't know why). Then for some stupid reason I pressed the door lock button down...

RE scratches ...

Try a liquid rubbing compound from 3M called "Finnesse-It II". This does a beautiful job on fine scratches which haven't completely penetrated the paint and leaves a high gloss finish.

Better not to do it immed. on car purchase

If car came straight from the factory to the dealer to being delivered to you, best to wait a few weeks. I have been told that the paint has to be totally cured before installation.
