I'm running 34 / 37 but I'm on a GT3 suspension so YMMV.

Checking the tire pressure sticker and it says 36f 44r.

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 all, thought I would post and make an official hello. I have started posting here after selling my 928 and purchasing a 996 as a daily driver. Its a 99 C2 with 74000 kms. I did all my due diligence and did a PPI/reviewed service records and everything checked out.
I plan on doing all my own maintenance on this one (I had a supercharged 928 so ask me if I know how to turn a wrench)! Hopefully with the help of this board I will make out OK. I picked a 99 due to the double row IMS bearing, no drive by wire and it being generally more simple to work on.
Here are some pics of her, so far it has been a really fun car to drive!
+1 on the sport classic II's.. but i am biased
. DIY is a almost a requirement for the 928 crowd, so i am sure you can manage this one..the engine is on the other end BTW. enjoy.
Nice looking car Ted. I have a 1999 996 C2 Arctic Silver on black, 6 speed, Sport Classic 18" wheels, with the pumpkins as yours but a cab and 64500 on the clock. I like your choice. White is good and I love the side stickers..
Nice find, congrats.
FWIW, the amber parking lamps f & r scream "early '99". Mid '99 they changed to clear that look so much better. I did this to my '99 Boxster as well.
White is a very nice and coveted color on a 996.
Congrats. The stripes actually work well and blend in with the car.
I find it sort of odd that you got the sports seat without most of the other associated options(aero kit). Anywho get the lumbar pads or stuff a towel behind the seat cushion if you find the lumbar lacking and uncomfortable on long trips.
Yep the lumber support could be a bit better. As for it being an early 99 my mfg date is 09/98 and last four digits on my VIN are 3693, so I don't think it is that early. I have noticed many Canadian cars have amber lights front and rear wonder if we got them for the entire model run?
Checking the tire pressure sticker and it says 36f 44r. Do you guys run them that high?
That is technically for a full load. If you find that the rear dances around or feels too nervous around mid-corner bumps and such, you can try lowering the pressures. Some also run lower pressures to prolong tire wear.
I'm running 34 / 37 but I'm on a GT3 suspension so YMMV.
I recommend you play with tires pressures and see what works for you. There is no "one size fits all" here.
Well, I am Cosmo Kramer the "Assman". I think a wb would be more suited to that plate lol.
Right now I am running 34/36 psi going to bump it up once the weather warms a bit. Still below freezing here, so much for spring!
I have a small to do list in the next few months. This is what I will be covering:
Detail/Paint correction.
Leather dye front seats, steering wheel and parking brake lever (color is starting to fade in spots).
New motor mounts (getting back massage at idle when AC isn't on).
Transaxle fluid change (going to try Motul Gear 300 Ester based)
That's it for now, car it pretty well sorted as it sits.
