Can The Antigravity Batteries XP-1 Jump Start A Dead Porsche? Yes!

Check out the Antigravity Batteries XP-1 Micro-Start jump starting a 981 Porsche Cayman S with a disconnected battery (to simulate a dead battery situation)!

The XP-1 was able to start the Cayman on the first try with no problems at all. We even started it several more times in a row with zero issues.

Schnell Autosports Is Now An Authorized Dealer For Antigravity Batteries!

Every car needs to keep an emergency jump starter in the trunk.

Sure, having plain old jumper cables might seem like all you need, but they have a huge weakness: they operate on the assumption that there's going to be someone, anyone around to be able to give you a jump.

Murphy's law being what it is, you could easily find yourself in this situation:

You stayed a few extra hours at work to finish a project, long after everyone else has left. Once you're done burning that midnight oil, you head out into the parking lot towards your car, ready to just go home and relax on the couch. You press the button on your key fob to unlock your car. That's odd, the remote doesn't seem to be working. Nevermind that, you just open the door with your key, old-fashioned style. The back of your mind only faintly registers that the interior lights didn't come on when you opened the door, but you ignore it, and go to start your car to make that drive home. You turn the key, and are met with only silence. That's odd... you jiggle the steering wheel left and right to see if it's locked or not, you check that your car is in park. You turn the key to start the car. Silence. A slight wave of panic sets over you, you look around to see if something, anything is wrong. That's when you notice it: your headlight switch is in a position that isn't "off".

You left your headlights on this morning. Your car battery is dead. You aren't going anywhere.

Upgrading Your 1965-1989 911 Headlights From Stock H5 To European H4

Today we had a customer come in with his much-beloved and well driven 88' 911 Targa to have some work done. Asides from having us replace his catalytic converter and change his oil (a mechanic at a different shop used an oil with a high zinc content, which is incorrect for the year of his car, which in turn destroyed his original catalytic converter), he had us upgrade his stock H5 headlights to Bosch Euro H4 headlights.

These headlights have seen better days.

Water and dirt were entering through this hole.

His headlights were a little worse for wear. Dirty, scratched, cloudy, cracking, and on the driver's side headlight, a rock kicked up from another car had hit the light, creating a hole, which would allow dirt and water to enter into the housing. On top of that, the amount of light that the H5 bulbs were outputting left a little to be desired.

He wanted a solution for his poorly performing stock lights, and our Bosch European H4 headlights were the answer. The H5 headlight as found on US-market 911's is a sealed unit, with a plastic housing that was prone to melting and damage. The European H4 headlight has a metal housing, and can be disassembled if you need to replace just the lens. The Euro H4 headlight assembly also has superior light output due to it's lens construction.

Bosch European H4 Headlight Assemblies are the popular upgrade from stock USDM H5 lights. 

Changing The Brake Pads On Our Rotora Big Brake Kit

For those of you who have had to change the brake pads on newer model stock Porsche calipers, you know how much of a pain it can be. For those that don't, the brake calipers on newer Porsches have a "feature" where the two halves of the caliper are joined at the top by a permanently attached bridge.

Taking your brake pads out from the top like a sane person isn't an option here.

While they say this design it to create a stiffer caliper that has more resistance against potential flexing during hard braking circumstances, what this means for the end user is that to replace the pads, you have to remove them from the bottom of the caliper, which ultimate means that you have to remove the entire caliper (and rotor) to gain the clearance needed to remove and replace the pads. On top of that process, the bolts used to secure the caliper to the hub can be easily damaged during reinstallation.

Rotora's Big Brake kit, while asides from providing superior braking performance compared to stock, eschews Porsche's caliper design for one of a more familiar layout; you only have to remove a single pin that holds down a retainer plate, and once the plate is removed, the pads can simply be pulled out from the top of the caliper. After compressing the caliper pistons, the new pads can then be slid into place, and once the retaining plate and pin are reinstalled, you're done.

Just removing that center pin will give you access to the brake pads. Simple!

Removing The Headlights From Your 981 Cayman/Boxster

We've had a few customers with 981 Boxsters/Caymans that wanted to know how to remove their headlights, whether it's for changing a blown bulb, or for the installation of paint protection film, or for any variety of reasons. The first question often asked is "how difficult is it?", and to which we simply reply "not very". It will probably take you longer to read this blog entry and look at the pictures than it would be to actually remove the headlights.

Get Your 987 Or 981 Ready For Winter With Our Latest Sale!

Today's sale is to get your car ready to do what many of you would rather not do: store the car away for the winter instead of driving all the time always everywhere.

If you're not going to be driving the car, you're going to have to do something about your battery. Either disconnect it completely (great, if you like losing your settings and potentially having the battery die anyways), or go with the proper solution, which is putting the car on a battery trickle charger.

Not all battery chargers are created equal, however. "Dumb" chargers will pump a fixed current through your battery, regardless of battery level, actually damaging it over time. "Automatic" (non-smart) chargers go into "float" mode once the battery level reaches full, but are not designed to be left on for long periods of time.

What you want however, is a smart charger. Smart chargers use a microprocessor to determine the appropriate current and voltage needed for optimal and safe charging and maintaining of your battery. Smart chargers are designed to be left on for long periods of time (like say... when you store your car for winter), and good ones (such as the ones for sale today), come with convenient extras like quick connect/disconnect cables so that putting your car on a charger is as easy as plugging one end of a cable into the quick connect installed on your battery (and not having to futz around with using alligator clamps on your battery terminals, hoping they don't come off).

You have two options for this sale, either the Bosch C3, or the more fully featured CTEK 7002 (which is what we use on our cars over here at Schnell Autosports).

Bosch C3 Sale Price: $55
CTEK 7002 Sale Price: $124

Now that you have your battery sorted out for storage, all that's left to take care of is protecting the car itself. Unless you're lucky enough to be able to keep your car in a laboratory clean room, your car is going to get dusty or worse if you're keeping it somewhere exposed to the elements or careless passers-by.

We know that you want a car cover better than the $20 universal car covers that can be found at your local Wally World, and for that, we have for sale the Covercraft WeatherShield HP.

Why Covercraft's WeatherShield HP? Here's what they have to say about it:

WeatherShield's Key Features and Benefits

• Dramatic Rain Dispersion - Fabric sheds water as soon as it hits the cover.
• Superior Dry Time - Because the fabric sheds moisture, just shake the cover and it dries in minutes (HD fabric is heavier and requires additional drying time).
• Breathable - Allows any heat, moisture or condensation under the cover to easily escape.
• UV Resistant - Special additives to the encapsulation formula reduce fabric UV degradation.
• Superior Paint Finish Protection - Silicone polymers used in the encapsulation formula help create a silky-smooth finish that's even less abrasive than flannel (HD uses heavier denier thread which is not as smooth).
• Packs Small - Cover packs into roughly 1/3 the volume of multi-layer fabric covers (HD covers are bulkier).
• Easy Care - Wash and dry at home... most mid-size covers will fit in home washers and dryers - and, unlike non-woven materials, they can be thrown in a dryer.
• Durable Fade-Resistant Base Fabrics - Premium solution-dye fibers mean the covers resist fading and hold their color longer.

Why WeatherShield? 

Over 20 years ago Covercraft partnered with Nextec Applications, Inc., a technology leader that pioneered a new process for creating performance fabrics used primarily in the outdoor clothing industry. By using precise polymer placement and special chemistries, they were able to place protective finishes inside the fabric, encapsulating the actual woven fibers to transform ordinary fabric into extra-ordinary! The encapsulation processes, methods and equipment are protected by more than 51 patents issued or pending in the U.S. and internationally.

Working with Nextec's extensive R&D resources Covercraft created what is considered the "perfect" fabric for outdoor or indoor vehicle protection.

WeatherShield® HP (for "high performance") is manufactured with solution-dye fibers which makes fabrics more fade resistant and is currently one of the most ecologically responsible ways to produce fabric. Solution-dye isn't really a dye process, the color pigments are mixed into the compound that is extruded as thread. This puts the color all the way through each fiber (fade resistant) and saves 1,000 gallons of water for every 1,000 yards of fabric produced since we don’t have to surface dye the fabric!

To construct this amazing fabric, prefinishing chemistries are applied to the solution-dye polyester fabric to prep it for the encapsulation process. Nextec proprietary equipment then applies a viscous (gooey) patented mixture of silicon-based polymers onto the fabric. Energy (heat and pressure) is applied to the polymers, working them inside the fabric and wrapping the individual fade resistant fibers. All but the smallest spaces are filled and the micro holes that remain allow the fabric to "breathe" so any moisture or heat under the cover can easily escape. Specially designed ovens cure the polymers to a solid state and the fabric is ready to make into covers.

No microfibers, no laminates, no surface coatings... EPIC® by Nextec's encapsulation process delivers all weather protection, compact packability, easy care, and a soft-to-paint touch without sacrificing breathability.

WeatherShield is not waterproof, but if kept clean it will shed most water and help prevent dust, dirt, bird droppings and tree sap from reaching the vehicle surface. The breathable properties of the fabric assure that any heat, moisture or condensation under the cover can easily escape.

The Covercraft WeatherShield HP is available in 8 different colors.

Today's Sale: Hubcentric Wheel Spacer Packages For Your 981/987

Today's sale is for our CNC machined hubcentric wheel spacers kits. Whether you're trying to widen your car's track for better performance, or just want to push the wheels out to make your car look more aggressive, our spacer packages are what you're looking for.

The spacers are hubcentric, and are in the correct 5x130 bolt pattern with 71.6 hub bore, and include countersunk rotor screws for the 7mm spacers. All packages also include either extended lug bolts (necessary when running spacers), or our lug stud conversion kit.

Spacer package 1 gets you 7mm spacers for the front and rear of your car, as well as the necessary extended lug bolts and rotor screws.

Spacer package 1 contains the following:

(4) 7mm hubcentric spacers
(20) extended lug bolts for 7mm spacers
(8) countersunk rotor screws

Spacer Package 1 Sale Price: $199

Spacer package 2 gets you 7mm spacers for the front, and 15mm spacers for the rear of your car, as well as the necessary extended lug bolts and rotor screws.

Spacer package 2 contains the following:

(2) 7mm hubcentric spacers
(2) 15mm hubcentric spacers
(10) extended lug bolts for 7mm spacers
(10) extended lug bolts for 15mm spacers
(4) countersunk rotor screws

Spacer Package 2 Sale Price: $216

For those of you tired of the juggling act needed to take off or put on your wheels using lug bolts, these next two packages are your solution. Instead of extended lug bolts, they come with conversion kits to go from lug bolts to the more familiar lug stud/lug nut combination. Our conversion lug studs feature an unthreaded portion at the end of the stud to help guide your wheel on without having to worry about any damage to the threads. As a bonus, the lug stud conversion set weighs less than the equivalent lug bolt set.

Spacer package 3 gets you the same set of 7mm spacers for the front and rear of your car that package 1 gives you, but replaces the extended lug bolts for our lug stud conversion kit, as well as lug nuts and rotor screws.

Spacer package 3 contains the following:

(4) 7mm hubcentric spacers
(20) conversion lug studs for 7mm spacers
(20) open ended lug nuts
(8) countersunk rotor screws

Spacer Package 3 Sale Price: $234

Spacer package 4 gets you the same set of 7mm spacers for the front, 15mm spacers for the rear of your car that package 2 gives you, but replaces the extended lug bolts for our lug stud conversion kit, as well as lug nuts and rotor screws.

Spacer package 4 contains the following:

(2) 7mm hubcentric spacers
(2) 15mm hubcentric spacers
(10) conversion lug studs for 7mm spacers
(10) conversion lug studs for 15mm spacers
(20) open ended lug nuts
(4) countersunk rotor screws

Spacer Package 4 Sale Price: $254

For those of you looking at buying either 7/15 kit (packages 2 or 4): please ensure that the addition of 15mm spacers on the rear of your car, in conjunction with your wheel and tire combination, has enough clearance to prevent rubbing of the tire against any part of the fender area (or you are willing to modify your car to prevent rubbing). Due to the wide variety in wheel styles and tire choices, we cannot guarantee if 15mm spacers in the rear are appropriate for your application, and we cannot accept returns on spacers once they have been mounted on the vehicle. If you are unsure, we suggest one of the 7mm kits instead.

This sale is phone order only, and not listed on our website. If you are interested, please call us toll-free at 1-888-978-9899.

Schnell Autosports Weekly 981 Sale Thread - 11/3 - 11/9

Upgrade your 981's factory intake plenum and throttle body with IPD's Competition Plenum and GT3 throttle body upgrade kit.

Here's what IPD has to say about their plenums:

We only offer "Competition" versions of the 981 Plenums which upgrades the factory 74mm throttle body with the larger 997 GT3 82mm throttle body. This combination has proven to be considerably more popular and deliver even more performance. This Competition version will work with both 3.4L "S/GTS" and 2.7L "Non-S" applications

The 981 intake is nearly identical to the 987.2 intake. Porsche made a few upgrades with the 981, most notably being that the 981 draws outside air from both driver and passenger air intakes instead of the driver's side only as previously found with all 986, 987 and 987.2 applications. IPD has developed a custom silicone hose designed to perfectly fit the larger 82mm TB and considerably improve air flow. 

The new 981 Plenums also benefits from the internal dimpling effect that we are now implementing on all future Plenums. This internal dimpling allows us to control the boundary layer and maximize air flow. Just like a dimpled golf ball travels farther than a smooth golf ball. Controlled turbulent air creates less friction and "tumbles" over a given area more efficiently. 

Power gains with the 981 Competition Plenum are virtually the same as with the 987.2 Competition Plenum, putting down 20 horsepower and 16 foot pounds of torque at the wheels. The bulk of the power gains from the IPD Plenum begin around 4000 rpm, continues all the way through to redline and become fully realized in the 6000 rpm range. IPD performance gains stay above both factory power curves throughout the entire rev range.

Package contains the following:

981 IPD Competition Plenum
GT3 82mm Throttle Body

Sale Price: $1250
When ordering, please let us know if your car is an S/GTS or base model. There is a 2-day lead time between placement of order and shipping.

Today's Sale! Motive Black Label European Power Bleeder

Today's sale is Motive's Black Label European Power Bleeder, which differs from the "normal" version with it's machined aluminum cap and swivel fitting. This is the bleeder that we use here at Schnell for all our vehicles.

Here's some info from Motive's site:

BLACK LABEL EUROPEAN POWER BLEEDER

Features Custom-machined aluminum cap and deluxe swivel fitting. Comes with an extra length of high grade poly urethane tubing that won't cloud or crack with exposure to brake fluid. Works on most European cars, including Alfa Romeo, Audi, BMW, Fiat, Mercedes, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, SAAB, Volkswagen, Volvo, and all other cars with 45mm threaded hydraulic fluid reservoir caps.

Why should I pressure bleed?  

Pressure bleeding provides a safe and effective way to remove trapped air and other contaminants from the hydraulic system. A Motive Products POWER BLEEDER is easy to pressurize, and holds enough fluid for a complete system flush, most vacuum bleeders require repeated refilling of the reservoir.  Reverse bleeding where you hook a pressurized line to the bleeder valves on the calipers can force contaminants into  critical parts of the ABS system and master cylinder. Also the typical method of pumping the brake pedal while a helper opens and closed the bleeder valve can actually damage your master cylinder. By pushing the pedal past the normal travel distance the master cylinder seals on the piston can be ripped or gouged by areas in the master cylinder bore that are rusted or worn.

How does the POWER BLEEDER work?  

The POWER BLEEDER works just like professional pressure bleeders. A tank containing hydraulic fluid is attached to the hydraulic system via a special adapter. The tank is then pressurized. When one of the bleed valves is opened, old or contaminated fluid is expelled as new fluid from the pressure tank is added.

This would be a great addition to any of our brake upgrade packages for when you flush and fill... now you don't have to find a friend for the old "pump and hold" method, or use negative pressure systems to suck the fluid out (where anything less than a perfect seal between the bleeder nipples and suction tube can create additional bubbles that makes it hard to determine their origin).

Sale Price: $65
