Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

It did have the dansk boxes on, but both rotted away in the usual area so fitted the top gear ones instead of welding again.

Unless you particularly want different shocks, you may find that your existing ones test ok on Centre Gravity's rig...

I've changed out coffin arms, tuning forks and rod ends to resolve the knocking from the front and tighten things up.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi All, Relative newbie and getting my C2 ready for summer. It's a semi-daily driver, even managing to get a xmas shop done with wife and 2 kids in the back. It's a manual, no sunroof C2. So far I've changed out the old knackered engine mounts for the 964RS ones. Which made a massive difference when changing direction. I've changed out coffin arms, tuning forks and rod ends to resolve the knocking from the front and tighten things up. It did have the dansk boxes on, but both rotted away in the usual area so fitted the top gear ones instead of welding again. Very pleased with those as well When I had the bumpers done I also pulled out the centre console and painted in same colour as the original grey plastic was looking terrible Next step is to replace the shocks. I am not tracking, but like a direct feel. Undecided on FSDs, or B6s. sounds like a minefield, will try CofG, but any one with FSDs (I know the 993 guys like them) on the 996 let me know how they are

POST 3Original post

It's funny how the 996 has been slated as the ugly 911 by many, including me. Looking at them now I think that they have aged well and look pretty damn good.

POST 4Original post

Unless you particularly want different shocks, you may find that your existing ones test ok on Centre Gravity's rig... mine were absolutely fine, at 116k miles. You may also find that CG can give you the more pointy feel you want with some new geo settings, but keeping a sensible ride that works on UK goat tracks a.k.a A and B roads. Agreed, its interesting how the 996 is coming of age... looks like a very tidy car!

POST 5Original post

That looks wonderful. I love the sports design wheels, one of the best for the 996 I reckon.
