Since its introduction in 1998, the water-cooled Porsche 911 has earned
a reputation as one of the world's greatest sports cars - equal to, if
not better than, the legendary air-cooled 911 it replaced. The 911 is a
true driver's car, and it offers its greatest driving rewards when
properly maintained, tuned, and modified. One of the principal drawbacks
to owning a Porsche is the relatively high cost of maintaining it. You
can literally save thousands of dollars in mechanic's costs simply by
performing some of the work yourself. With 101 Projects for Your
Porsche 911 996 and 997 1998-2008, written by renowned Porsche author
Wayne Dempsey, you'll be able to get into the garage and work on
your 911 with confidence. Created with the weekend mechanic in mind,
this highly illustrated Motorbooks Workshop title offers 101
step-by-step projects designed to help you maintain, modify, and improve
your late-model 911. Focusing on the water-cooled 996 and 997 models,
this book presents all the necessary knowledge, associated costs, and
pitfalls to avoid when performing an expansive array of projects. And
besides the savings, when you personally complete a job on your Porsche,
you get the added satisfaction of having done it yourself.
