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

After a 14 month search and some great help from you guys I have just made a deal on a 2001 996 C4. Manual trans, 62 k miles, Meridian metallic with Dark Gray leather and lighter gray carpet, PSM, Technic, power seats, 3 spoke wheel, all maintenance up to date and done at a very reputable shop. I spoke with the indy today who checked out the car and everything looks good. I also plan on doing the IMS, RMS and water pump at ruf. Will pick the car up tomorrow. I am major league pumped. It will be quite a bit different than my old 944 turbo.

POST 2Original post

Congrats and welcome to 996 ownership! It sounds like a cool color... I look forward to seeing a pic when you pick it up.

POST 4Original post

POST 15 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ok after sleeping in the garage I got home late and got this one pick before it got totally dark. I hope to get out on the weekend and get a good set of pics. Here it is pumpkins blazing.

POST 17 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks, have been out driving it alot. I have really been impressed with the handling and the exhaust note is so sweet.

POST 18Original post

welcome. pix are great. pumpkins good (to me). it only gets better with time.

POST 19Original post

SWEEET Ride ! If you want to spice up the exhaust a bit without braking the wallet go with Fister D exhaust mods. Enjoy your new toy! Looks great! BTW... you got a great stable mate with that Audi

POST 20Original post

Congrats and enjoy years of smiles. You wont be disappointed.

POST 21 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ditto to what everyone said....except get rid of those pumpkins. Euro side marker lights so much nicer on a silver or grey car!

Although I don't own a C4, I like my pumkins as well.

POST 26Original post

POST 27 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks all, stairmaster I just talked to hans today. I am dropping the car off at RUF on Wednesday for the IMS/RMS, I will tell him you said hi. I am also a ticket P1, small world.

POST 28Original post

I also like my pumpkins...........no plans to change them out. Do you have to have those stickers in the front windshield? My 89 i picked up from Texas had similiar stickers and was first thing i removed when i got back home to Tennessee. Nice looking car BTW.......enjoy! more pics please too

POST 29 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yea the stickers are state inspection and registration. I used to like it better when they were on the license plate. Concerning the hottly debated pumpkins, I am still deciding.
