My wife was wondering what I was cooking when she saw me using her good La Crueset pot to boil water.

Since I have the optical MOST setup, I'm somewhat limited in what I can do without yanking the radio and amp--but at least I can re-use the speakers.

Also, use a torpedo level to ensure proper alignment.
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.

A big thanks to all you guys who take the time to write such clear, easy to follow DIY posts!
I installed a few replacement items for my 'new to me' 2004 C4S this evening when I got in from work. I bought a few things from Suncoast when I got the car and they finally came today.
One of my bigger ticket purchases was a new replacement 6-speed aluminum Porsche Exclusive shift ****. The one that came with the car was ok, just nicked up and a little worn, so I decided to splurge and get a new one. Using the Search function, I diligently researched the shifter removal process and read the tug-of-war/blackeye horror stories and even printed out Tim's 'double screwdriver leg fulcrum' directions from a vintage post. So I was ready. First things first, the plastic horseshoe popped right off--a good sign. Then I folded back the leather boot, found and loosened the little hex nut in front. So far so good. Now I was ready to do battle and bust it loose...of coarse it practically fell off. I wasn't sure if I should be relieved or disappointed. So I settled for relieved.
The aluminum foot pedals were more difficult but once again, I just followed the directions you all wrote and it was done in no time. Tim, the 2" spring clamp suggestion was a big help. The shiny aluminum pedals make a big difference to brighten up a black interior.
I also added a new (996 old style) gold hood crest. That thing looked like a JEWEL when I took it out of the box. My wife was wondering what I was cooking when she saw me using her good La Crueset pot to boil water. Kinda didn't want to tell her that it was to heat up the gasket to make it more pliable to stretch it...she wouldn't understand.
I was really amazed at how easy it was to make some minor changes if you just follow the directions (a new concept for me). Next week maybe I'll tackle that ROW suspension upgrade.....nah, better not get ahead of myself.
Thanks again guys!
I think Kyle had his car about as long as you have... and he pulled the transmission and replaced the IMS bearing. I want to see you get to work on that!
OK, here are couple of the minor things I did.
It did feel good to get them accomplished so quickly...all of them only took me two hours from start to finish.
Here's a side shot that shows the stock ride/height for the car. I'll get to putting on some PSS10's eventually, but first things first, I gotta do something about the stock radio.
I'd really like to get something that features Nav/Bluetooth/Sat radio/iPhone music...thinking the Kenwood DNX 7140 would be ideal. Since I have the optical MOST setup, I'm somewhat limited in what I can do without yanking the radio and amp--but at least I can re-use the speakers. All that cost adds up pretty quick and my car mod budget is a little strapped now. So I'm stuck listening to commercial radio for a couple of months--man they play a lot of commercials these days!
Tanner-
It was very easy. I just did a search for 'aluminum pedals' and it brought up several posts with easy to follow directions.
Here are a couple that I found really helpful:

Using the 2" spring clamps and titanium drill bits, I was done within an hour. The hardest part was threading on those little teeny tiny nuts and washers that came with them to fasten them. I will upgrade to the black #6 self-tapping screws this weekend. Also, use a torpedo level to ensure proper alignment.
