Someone replaced the exhaust with a nice stainless unit a bit loud but well made and the intake tube is carbon fiber with a K+N filter runs real strong does everything nice just concerned about the ISB problems ive read about.

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.

Hello everyone!
First off let me say I am very happy to be a part of this Forum. I just picked up my first 911. It's an 02 Carrera Tiptronic w/55k miles I guess you call them 996's see I'm learning. I've always wanted a 911 and now I have one. I'm Sure some of the members reading this will snicker but we all start someplace. I've been around all types of cars a good portion of my 55 years but I'll be honest, I dont know much about Porsches other than I love the way they look,handle, stop and sound. I will have questions and please bear with my ignorenece. My first question is, what should I look for? You all are experts and will know any weak spots on this particular year and model. If any of the group want to give me a heads up to correct issues before they pop up I will appreciate the help and I will try to contribute when or if I can.
Hi ya ,
I'm Cedric , 46 years old , i live in south France , Rodez , not far from Toulouse.
I'm not a newbie in the Porsche world , but i falled on this forum during a search for Recaro seats . ([email removed])
And , here i'am !!!
Like said , i'm a Porsche addict since a long time ,
In 2002 , i bought a 911 / 3.2 , sold last year in December to buy the car i dreamed for : a 996 GT3 MK1 .
During my free time , i rejuvenate aircooled for customers , recently a MFI / 2.4 E & a MFI / 2.4 T converted to carbs , usa imported cars.
Some pics to illustrate :
First , my GT3 MK1 :
My 3.2 i sold last year :
The 2.4 E / MFI :
The 2.4 T with carbs :
The new project , for the same customer of the 2.4 T , a flat nose USA i'm going to convert to its factory specifications , with originals fenders:
Thanks reading me , i hope i've not done too much langage disaster.
Regards,
Ced'
Welcome! It's proper etiquette to post a photo of your car shortly after your first post. There is a wealth of information here and on other forums. I wish you many years of enjoyment with your new 996! I think you'll find that it will become more than just a car and somewhat of an obsession.
Best wishes - enjoy!
Congrats and welcome. The 2002 996 is a great car and you should get lots of enjoyment out of it.
What concerns do you have? Do you have any service records or any information about the history of your new Porsche?
No Maint records and the auto broker I got it from knows nothing. Someone replaced the exhaust with a nice stainless unit a bit loud but well made and the intake tube is carbon fiber with a K+N filter runs real strong does everything nice just concerned about the ISB problems ive read about. I will photo shop the pics asap
