Hey I've noticed recently a moan as the car is bearly starting to move from a dead stop. It comes from the front end I think and I can almost since it through the steering wheel (as strange as that seems). The best way to discribe the noise is to say it sounds kind of like The Queen Mary or a large Ship leaving port (it's horn noise - but not near that load (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) ). I think people on the street could probably hear it - kind of embarrassing if I roll the car super slowly. I'm thinking maybe a slightly warped rotor but are there any common items to check for? This car has 911T front suspension and brakes btw. Also, this car sat for 3 years before I started driving it recently...but everything was supposedly renewed during a restoration (track prep) before it was stored for the 3 years, so maybe something has dried out a bit too much.
