Not that thingy!!

I mean the round doughnut shaped black thingy on the left side under the spoiler.

Somehow mine looks wrong. What do you think??

Looks like it's not seated correctly. It's soft rubber, so you should be able to snap it back into place.

Take a look at the post claiming 340 HP, in one of the pics, you can see the 'thingy'.

Looks to me like you need to take your thingy off and turn it around 180 degrees. See if it fits better that way... hope you don't hurt yourself.

when it looks like that it usually means that it's time to throw out the old Porsche and get a new one

What's all this talk about putting rubber on the thingy? Must have gone to 'myspace' by mistake again.

Just be sure to properly torque your nuts after fiddling with your thingy.

You might want to get someone experienced to take care of your thingy for you. Not everything is best attempted as a DIY.

Over time the thingy will become misshapen and may not fit various orifices.
