Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

32 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • PistonHeads: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Generation: 20261026T174436Z · outcome-qualification-6. Deterministic extraction; no AI model inference. How we use sources

POST 1Original post

Nice one Steve. Well done. Does Mrs B know yet or did you post the news here first? Lets hear the spec then: colour, suspension, alloys etc..... cheers DAZ (suppose this means the flatnose will no longer be attending PH meets )

POST 2Original post

congratulations,not the silver one at camtune by any chance? Also interested to see what you thought having stepped out of a real '80s 911.in terms of ride,acceleration etc.. >> Edited by clubsport on Tuesday 17th December 15:11

POST 3Original post

Blimey, seems like you change your car more often than I change my undies. Very interested to hear how you feel it compares with a 930. After getting stranded in a wet rainy car park the other night in mine (still investigating the cause - likely candidate is fuel pump/relay) my thoughts have been turning to something more modern. Anyway congratulations! Chris

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

DAZ, It is Arctic Silver,Black leather,sports seats,sports suspension,18" sport design alloys,sports S/wheel....fantastic Steve

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

CS, Yes it is indeed the car at Camtune. Steve

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

DAZ, Mrs B does know,I thought it would be diplomatic to tell her first!.....flatnose is being part exchanged... Steve >> Edited by sb930turbo on Tuesday 17th December 16:03

POST 7Original post

Even more congrats due,,Silver is undoubtably the best colour to set the GT3 kit off.It has the right wheels & sports seats looks fantastic.

POST 8Original post

Guess this answers the Boxster S / not Boxster S question. Or are you loaded?

POST 9Original post

Nah, hopefully Steve will chop in the banana tupperware noddy car for a Boxster S, to complete his new line up 996 sounds nice, Steve. Cheers Dom

POST 10Original post

Steve - nice car (found it on their web site) and great body kit! Weren't tempted by the Noble then??? J

POST 11Original post

Hey Domster. I think you're out of date mate. Didn't Steve's yellow noddy car go a few weeks ago? DAZ >> Edited by dazren on Tuesday 17th December 17:19

POST 12Original post

Hi Daz, Yeah, I am getting slack these days! Glad he got rid of the banana before something broke, anyway Cheers Domster

POST 13 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Dom, The Tiv has already gone,can't say I'm sad but thats another story....I can't afford an 'S' as well as a 996 Dom ! Cheers Steve

POST 14 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Dom, I wasn't quick enough to avoid that though! Cheers Steve

POST 15 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

POST 26Original post

GT3 Aerokit plus lowered sports suspension equals caution at speedbumps (and any steepish ramps, i.e multistorey car parks). Enjoy.

POST 27 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Tony, I already found that out on the test drive(speed bump)! Don't think there's any more ground clearance than on the Flatnose. Cheers Steve

POST 28 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi guys, Well I've got it......fantastic, only driven about 15 miles home from Camtune,but already starting to appreciate the 996's many virtues. Steve >> Edited by sb930turbo on Thursday 19th December 19:02

POST 29 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi guys, Just a quick update.....taken family and some of my sons friends for 'Test Runs'FANTASTIC CAR,very quick,feels faster than the Flatnose.Much more refined,ride is very firm with the Sports Suspension,but still very comfortable. Steve

POST 30Original post

Glad you like the 996 Steve....Having come from an '80s Porsche myself I can confirm things will get better over the next few thousand miles as you get to know the car.Have fun! but take it easy in these conditions,limits are way high,but with those big tyres on the back when she goes........

POST 31Original post
