Suggestion
If your GT3 wheels are Mk2 they were only ever made in 911 widths but if they are Mk1 versions then check the rear wheel width as 996 C2s use 10" whereas the Boxster versions that look identical are only 9" wide.

The following are waiting to be fitted, 4 x new coffin arms, adjustable rear toe arms, adjustable droplinks, koni special active shocks and lowering springs, RPM Clutch kit, Stoptech brakes, radio, new rms and I will change the IMS.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.
Check rear wheel width as 996 c2s

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
After rebuilding a boxster I have finally upgraded to a 2002 911 C2..ok I kept the boxster too.
My car is a 2002 C2 manual with an amazing service history and full Porsche engine rebuild.
Have replaced all coils, serviced it and replaced suspension bushings and coffin arms. Have also ordered Koni FSD and Volgtland Springs.
Hi and welcome. Lovely colour!
Do you have any info on the engine rebuild? ie. why? What was done? Who did it? I didn't think Porsche often did engine rebuilds? :dont know:
Thanks for the comments all. The engine was rebuilt due to a cam chain issue. Porsche rebuilt it, the owner spent an additional 5k going the full hog. Had it checked by a Porsche specialist...if I didn't buy it he was going to. I have GT3 wheels on my Boxster which I am going to swap across soon.
Had the FSDs on a 335i and loved them. Hope they are as good on the 911.
Anything in particular which i should do or keep an eye on ?
Welcome along. As already said, nice colour.
If your GT3 wheels are Mk2 they were only ever made in 911 widths but if they are Mk1 versions then check the rear wheel width as 996 C2s use 10" whereas the Boxster versions that look identical are only 9" wide.
It's written either side of the tyre valve. Well technically one side is the offset e.g. 65 and the other side of the valve is 9 or 10 for width. :wink:
Anyway, enjoy the car, I hope it gives you years of happy motoring. :thumb:
PS Which country are you in? I've never seen roofs like those before. Eco friendly?
The following are waiting to be fitted, 4 x new coffin arms, adjustable rear toe arms, adjustable droplinks, koni special active shocks and lowering springs, RPM Clutch kit, Stoptech brakes, radio, new rms and I will change the IMS. What IMS upgrade is the longest lasting ?
Already done, full service all fluids, coilpacks and plus plus a new exhaust.
IMS bearing 'upgrade' = can of worms!
Personally I would just fit a new OE bearing with the cover removed to allow the engine oil to circulate. But only my opinion (I haven't done it, I am taking the ostrich approach...)
Some light reading haha
