			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You may notice the following problems:</p>
<p>a) steering wheel vibration at freeway speeds which only occur at certain speeds but not others<br />
b) steering wheel vibration under braking</p>
<p>The first thing to check are:<br />
a) Your tire pressures<br />
b) Your wheel balance.  You could have lost a wheel weight or your wheels were not properly balanced in the first place.  Be sure you use a shop which has the Hunter GSP 9700.  More information is <a href="http://www.993faq.com/archives/cat_wheels.html#000165">here</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Muffler bypasses pipes bypass the muffler all together.  They replace the almost 2 feet of tubing and sound deadening material in the muffler.</p>
<p>For turbo cars, the difference is quite dramatic.  In addition they save about 20 lbs off the back end of the car.  Throttle response and power are noticable increased.</p>
<p>However, the increased noise may not be for everybody.  In the Fabspeed muffler bypass pipes I used for my turbo, there was slight responance from 2800-3000 rpm.</p>
<p>For normally apirated cars, I imaging that difference would be less dramatic, although you would get the same amount of exhaust noise as a turbo.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[
]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the 993 RS cars, there was only 1 pulley which drives the alternator and fan.  In normal 993 cars, there are seperate pulleys.</p>
<p>If you are changing your belts, I would strongly recommend upgrading to the single pulley instead. Instead of spending $60 for the updated pulley halves, you could spend $100 and get the RS pulley instead.</p>
<p>Advantages:<br />
Easier to replace the fan belt if it should break. Can _actually_ be done roadside because it uses ordinary metric bolts instead of impossibly small 5 mm allen head bolts.</p>
<p>Usually, when the alternator belt breaks, it takes out the other 2 belts ( fan/AC ) With 1 less belt, this possibility is reduced.</p>
<p>Cleans up the engine bay</p>
<p>Disadvantages:<br />
Spins the alternator _slightly_ slower. So there is a therotical decrease in charging time. However, of the many people on the board who have done this, none have had any charging issues.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a link to an alterantor DIY that we did where we also upgraded to the RS pulley.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cuberootconsulting.com/gallery/album108">RS pulley DIY</a></p>
<p>Note the dremel&#8217;ing that we had to do to get the existing setup off. If you look at the final pic, you&#8217;ll see that there are just standard hex head bolts which hold the fan belt pulley in place instead of those $%#^Q&#038;* 5 MM allen bolts.</p>
<p>You can just imaging how impossilbe that would be if you had to do that roadside in the night.</p>
