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.

Hi All, fairly new to the Porsche world but had my 996.1 C2 for 8 months now, really enjoying it and Porsche ownership is very addictive, i will share a few specs of my example below, its pretty stock but some nice options and i have just upgraded the seats to a set of carbon back GT3 buckets covered in Alcantara from design911,
-Late 2001 3.4 C2 Manual, non sunroof coupe with the GT3 Areo Kit
-Full Heated+electric black leather Sports wing-back seats (just changed for GT3 style buckets)
-Alcantara headlining
-Porsche Switchable Exhaust (PSE)
- Original GT3 Sport Design Alloys (as new, recently refurbished)
- Litronic lights
- PSM
- Sound Upgrade
- Aluminium Pack
- Suede headliner
- Air-conditioning
- 78,000 miles
- Full Service History file
-997 GT3 short shift kit
Its had a full Koni sport with adjustable dampers and 40mm springs fitted 1500miles ago and 4 wheel alignment handles superbly looks great for it too, has spacers fitted front and rear.
It had been fully serviced and looked after by northway last year and i have just got it back from PARR a week ago for its annual service and full check over had the water pump done and some other common issues sorted along with new rads and condensers etc all it needs now is its yearly MOT
:thumb:
All in all very happy love the sound handling and looking forward to the nice weather after having it sorted for the coming months driving.
Any recommendations on upgrades? slowly going through it all to make it even nicer than it already is.
Pics to follow
:wink:
Sounds like a great car! Enjoy.
Maybe get a proper geo done by Centre Gravity, to get the best out of the suspension set up and Konis rather than just going with factory settings.
Other than that, don't upgrade, just drive it!
:welcome: back to 911uk JM.
As you're in Kent why not come and join the Kent posse for breakfast.

Next one = 14th May.
Thanks guys :thumbs:
I want to keep it as OEM as possible just a few tweaks as already done and just keep plumbing money into service and maintaining it to as best mechanical condition as possible.
popping it down to Goss Hall in Ash to get a few niggles done and one of my PSE silencers showing minor cracking on one seam so want to nip that in the bud now!
T8- would love too, i will check the dates and pop along :thumb:
Ok few pics i need to give it a full machine polish in a few weeks and any minor paint defects sorted when i can all be it not many and get more updated pictures try keep this thread udated and log things as i go as its nice for me to look back on for future.
Updated with new picture host! :thumb:
Cheers again for the good comments guys
Jay, i have yet to take it out after fitting them! i had no time but from just sitting in them its a very nice feeling i can't wait to test them i will let you know how i get on with them :thumb:
Those seats look fantastic and so does the car :thumb:
I think I've seen it on one of the BMW forums too
Do you also have a m3/m4 too? If so how do you think the 996 compares?
Hi 996lee, yes i'm a member of M3cutters
Iv had lots of Bmw M stuff 2x e9x V8's, 1M, Z4MC, not the M4 though, the 996 feels more like one of the Lotus exiges i have had in the past its the small cabin, low and so direct also helped by the Koni Sports and 4 wheel alignment but it just give me a special feeling ha! i would like to get another M car but i think i will always keep this too now owning one its hard to think what else would feel as good without spending silly money out of my reach.
Sorry not much of an in depth comparison but one word would be it feels more of an occasion 'Special'!
