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.

TW - welcome to Rennlist and congrats on getting a nice looking car. 1st mod recommendation. Clear side markers.
Russo - no, his car is a '99. The 40th Anniversary was produced only in '04, and had the Turbo front bumper cover on it.
wohoo... nice looking car...

(We interrupt this modification progarm for paying for collage for kid in Austrialia)
(Carry on)
Fourth, (Shhhhh, don't tell spouse) I'll say this quietly,
GT 2 aero package would be nice...
Shhhh...
Summer car only - part daily driver until Oct.
WOW - you got it for FREE! ! ! WAY TO GO !
This is a BAD MOD, the cup holders dont work at all, they are very small and not worth it. There is an aftermarket company than makes a cup holder... someone will chime in with the site (I hope) that is useful. It mounts to the side of the console and rests on the floor, looks great too!

DONT TEASE ME !
hahahah, boy have I got a deal for you ! ! !
(shut up Tim and Wayne and Redridge and......)
How would you like the GT2 rear wing now as an insentive to finish the mod !! I have one that I would make you a screeming deal on !
(you will understand this later as one of my... "pitch to anyone who says GT2" statements, as I bought a factory GT2 wing and cant get rid of it.... really ! )
again welcome and enjoy in good health
(PM me if you want the wing, I mean REALLY CHEAP
)
Well... someone around here wanted me to beat them like a harp seal... so I guess you can call the world wildlife fund guys on me then.
I just met up with a dealer who was very motivated to sell - he had the car from Sept 08 and has over hundred other high end cars just sitting there - mind you he does move a lot of Merc's, Jag's, Mazda R8's etc but this car just seemed to sit there.
Funny story: I found out who imported this car and who traded it into the dealer, (Don't ask but I have *connections*)
Seems he brought it into the country from the US in April 08. Lost his licence in June of 08 for one month for going 50km's over the speed limit ($2000 fine) and use of the car for one week plus storage costs. I assume the insurance was an issue after this as the trade happened in early Sept 08.
Here's a tip: NEVER leave you pink insurance slip (that has your name on it) in the little owner's manual kit! Some guy like me who can do something with this info (thankfully he met a *trusted* person who won't abuse this info) can find out a lot about you.
Interesting - I bookmarked a page showing these coffee cup holders already. I HATE the type that look like they are screwed into the air vents or something.
The type in the picture above - your saying they are NG??
Now I recall you told me earlier that they were too BIG. Hmmmmm, poor marketing on your part! I don't want aero push into guardrail because I've got thousands of pounds of downforce that lift the front end off the ground!
'Honey, I can't figure out whats up, I put that new rear wing on and I'm WFO in 5th gear and that Honda Civic just went past us'?? I don't think I need a CFD program to figure out where the killer drag is coming from!
As we say at the track - 'shiny side UP'
Skil saw / grinder mod?
No wide body mode here - don't need to drag someones laundry down the street!
Ok - tonight after work. I have to set the Miles to Km's on the speedo (Slap my head mode!! : maybe thats why the guy got caught speeding 50km over the limit here in Ontario?!)
Or does the speedo default to 'Miles' after the power is killed?? Dunno? Would be funny though if the guy was warping past people at '100' thinking, 'why is everyone so slow today?'
Have to figure out the radio - too much base going on for my Floyd CD's.
The E handle has some wear on the leather. Whats the opinion here - recover, or upmarket the handle to some other material or re-dye them?
The lift up front hood/engine bay release handles have some wear on them. Are they easy to take off? I have a notion to repaint or recover them in some way. Or are the two parts cheap, (Porsche Oxymoron!) and I should just replace them?
Congrats on the new 996! I love the way silver paint looks with a red interior. Not too many cars can pull that off... but a Porsche most certainly can.
Hey,
Let me know when you do that mod. My new-to-me 2000 Cab has the cassette storage unit too. I want to replace it with the storage cubby.
Thanks,
Barry
Barry,
Why are y waiting to install the upper cubby? To remove the cassette storage, open all the "drawers" grab them and pull out with a quick snap. Slide in the cubby. The whole process takes 8.42 seconds.
As promised:
Going to order new front mats soon.
Sorry about the crappy quality, it's dark now and it's raining tonight and the flash makes if look like the interior is orange when it is really a dark red.
I owned a pickup with a red interior once. I was told that you'll find that you either love or hate it. Personally, I loved it and this one looks great too, congrats!
wow, I have seen that color is later models and didnt car for it... but on this year I love it! (differance is the graphite pieces break it up just enough)
Thought about black floor mats ? Personally I think it would really look awesome and at ~$120 it's more eye candy than the CD holder...
BTW many people say the CD thing is a waste of space, but I prefer mine to the open shelf (where I would just stack crap) Watch ebay for a used one... just an idea.... not everyone like them
Great pics, thanks for sharing
one more comment.... I have been wondering what a black steering wheel would look like with an "off color" HOLY CRUD.... I love that !
You paid 23k??????????? Holy crap, I think I got robbed...
For the newbie here (me!!), is there a tradition of posting pics of one's 911 upon purchase?
Its a very nice jesture and we all would love to share in your joy... Welcome to RL. Also any details about equipment and specs is nice to have... nothing required, just sort of the norm...
Again Welcome!
<Tim thinks to himself> Self, how the hell did this Newbie get buy me??? The other guys are going to jump all over my *** for letting him slip through the cracks. Maybe some of the others haven't noticed and I can still redeem myself! <Tim stops thinking and goes into action>
Yes, it is customary for Newbies to tell us a little about their car and to post pics. You can consider this next sentence as your "Newbie initiation" to Rennlist.
Come on Newbie, post the !@#$%^&* pics!
<Tim thinks to himself again> Whew, that was close! Maybe "the guys" won't notice and I won't take any heat for dropping the ball.
How dumb am I ? I'm checking the air in the tires and notice the tires are not 17" but 18". Duh! No wonder you can feel chewed up bubble gum on the road when you roll over it!
See, I knew what you meant. (snicker) I could just picture seams all over the place and ratty looking, wrinkled job to really make my day. I rather stick a coke bottle over it!
