    Summer in Miami with a GTS.

    The AC in my GTS is fine Oct--April, but summer is just brutal here. The AC will not cool the car if you leave it in the sun. I do not want to put tints. It is fully charged with no leaks. Anyone add another AC condenser as the Porshce 911 guys do. I am also looking at changing out the...

    Power Steering Problem

    Had the same issue on my 96 GTS two month ago. It was the pulley on mine also. You described what my car was doing as well.

    Power steering failure

    Ended up being a cracked pulley. Got a new pulley from Jon B. Went to take off the pump in the weekend and ran into a snag. The the hyd. line that goes into the pump will not loosen, broke one wrench already. Sprayed pen. lube, nothing. Any ideas????

    Power steering failure

    Thanks for all the responces. I am going to take a look at it carefully now again. It is not binding right away when you turn the wheel. Only in certain spots it seems. It may be the pulley engaging and dis-engaging. Thoughts

    Power steering failure

    Is it easier to remove the hood to take off the power steering pump. How hard is it to remove with the hood on? Thanks, LP

    Power steering failure

    96 GTS, car drove fine last night. Went to take it out in the morning. Steering does not want to move, you can force it but very ugly binding. No fluid loss and belt is spinning. I guess the pump failed. ???????

    AC question for anyone living in Texas or Florida

    Thanks for all the responces. My car never runs hot, plus I do not have cats. Like I said in summer if I take it out of the garage and go to work the Ac is fine. Its when the car sits in the sun it wont cool down. Nothing worse than sweating in a nice sports car, reminds me of my 86 911 Turbo...

    AC question for anyone living in Texas or Florida

    I own a 96 GTS. The AC works fine in the winter(Miami), but summer is just brutal. I cant leave the car out in the sun, as it wont cool. I know tints will help but dont really like the look with tints. Has anyone had any luck with upgrading to a bigger condensor or anything else for that...

    Door Panel Issue 96GTS

    My upper portion of the door panel has worn a spot on it towards the front by the dash. Can an interior shop replace the vinyl overlay, its not bad but its noticeable
