Mine's a good, clean, very well maintained, strong running driver, not rough, and not concours.

So....PDS (pretty darn stock -- to the taco wing crowd, it would be heresy to spend $6k to make sure you can't see any changes....hm-m-m-m)

Suggestion
Exchanged stock muffler for factory PSE; added garage door opener (switch on panel is factory); added built-in radar detector/laser shifter -- about the only visible evidence is the LED in the bezel of the emergency light switch which can easily be replaced with anothe bezel someday if desired.
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.

Mawgie Newbie here. My '02 996 Coupe (my first PCar) is just coming out of storage. I am jacking around with a self storage unit 3 miles away until a 14' x 24' detached garage gets built next to the house sometime in the next 60 days.
I just now bothered to input the radio code and fiddle with the stereo for the first time. I found it quaint, old school, and it has decent FM reception. As for the garage door opener, I found an old Craftsman learning opener in a drawer, fiddled for a while, got it trained, and clipped it to the visor.
I think I'm good. Mine's a good, clean, very well maintained, strong running driver, not rough, and not concours.
I am curious. Is there a population of 996 Carrera owners that, like me, sorta like them old school? I have newer cars with bluetooth, sat radio, dual zone climate control, nav, etc....., but bought this one to enjoy operating the motor vehicle.
Regards - Mawgie
p.s. Obviously, if I had lots more dough, I'd be in a GT3 or a 997 Turbo. Or maybe a 993 twin turbo.........................
I have a garage door opener and the stock Becker 220. I'm really not much of a electronic wiz....besides I never have the radio on. The mods I have done are more driving performance things. Favorite so far is the yellow headlight film. Its good for at least 15HP!
Mine's Amish as well. No mods. Just as God made it, or how I bought it anyway.
Really like and tempted by many of the great mods a lot of the guys on the board have made. But I have limited time, resources and interest in going any faster. It's fast enough.
I kept my old one stock....till I accidently slipped and then it was GAME OVER - I couldn't make money fast enough to keep up with my list....
thankfully my new car never had to wait, I was ready to mod from day one
I like my 2003 C4 Cab stock too, and do my best to keep it looking good.
The only thing I have done recently is order new Lloyd floor mats, which for about $80, gives the car a newer look when getting into it.
I kept mine bone stock for a while. But, my ever-increasing passion for DEs and track time have led me to the following mods:
- Clear Bra
- Fister D exhaust
- ROW M030 suspension
- H&R Sway Bars
- Euro GT3 Seats
- Schroth 6-point harnesses
- Tequipment Roll Bar
- SRP black anodized pedals
But, I still have my Becker stereo and my pumpkins! That counts for something, I hope.
Enjoy!

+1, I am very **** when it comes to this topic for some reason.
Although I would like to swap the stock suspension for the ROW M030 when I get the time. Problem is, I never get the time.
After all, it is still factory Porsche equipment.
Mine is pretty much stock with the options it came with. I only swapped out the stereo and added an Fabspeed intake. As far as the interior and exterior....no real reason to mess with perfection. The 911 is classic. My car came with twist rims but the owner before me swapped them out. I went by the option code and got the 18" twists back on...but a aftermarket version to me looks better but still stock.
Other than that...everything is stock. Besides swapping out the fog light bulbs for yellow Nokya fogs that I love the heck out of.
Stock is the only way to go: Mine is stock except for a few minor things:
LWF, SSK, Stage 2A UMW turbos, FPR, Tighter suspension, and just a few other little things.
Mine is a really early '99 manufactured in March of 1998. It's bone stock with chromed factory 17" rims and an iPod adapter. Still has the original mint condition floor mats - 55K miles.
No mods yet. The mufflers were drilled when I got it two weeks ago, but found a stock muffler cheap and had them switched.
It's CPO'd so I have to be careful not to screw up my warranty. I do plan to upgrade the nav/stereo in a couple of weeks. I need my ipod. Next will be the SSK.
I will probably also look at a suspension upgrade if I can take some of the harshness out without affecting the handling.
Other than that, I think it's probably fast enough for street use.
Funny how our cars are now considered old school and retro! Time waits for no one!
Mine is stock, except for some minor upgrades: painted rear bumper pads, clear side markers, console cubbys replacing the CD rack and ash tray, and a new stereo head unit.
Aside from the Fister D's, SSK, Double Din Nav/Radio I would say all my other mods are factory parts thus... stock
Like the painted console, thicker 3 spoke wheel, clear side markers..etc.
I guess it what you define as "stock"
For me, once you change anything... Non factoy Radio, aftermarket wheels...whatever. No longer "stock"
New non-stock mod coming soon!
I've been thinking about this question and about why I make modifications. The best I can figure is that I'm trying to recreate that first fantastic rush of driving the car. From what I've heard, heroine is like that.
So... I could say mine is Stock...(except I did just replace the Pumpkins ;-) ... if I do not count what the prior owners mod-ed. The Car came to me with TechArt Headers / Exhaust ? Coil-overs and Interior Silver treatments.
But all that aside the "old school" comment rings with me. I like this particular C4 because it had the above mentioned options and little else. No fancy electronic or "TV" dash. No Aero kit & no SUV rims. I really like the original lines of this 996 body and see it as the closes design to emulate the original "long hood" 911. Not that I can't appreciate Turbos and GT3's... but this just suits me better.
