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.

Just acquired about 6 weeks ago. Arena Red & Grey int., Manual, 46k miles. Will be posting some pictures soon. I put it in the shop and had the IMS bearing upgrade, new clutch, and rear main seal done. The car had an Alpine radio which I have taken out along with 75lbs. of amplifier/equalizer from the frunk. Want to restore to CDR-220 radio as I think that was the only thing not original on the car. What is good source for the CDR220 ?
I've sold two; one via ebay and one here on Rennlist. I'd post a wanted to buy in the members section and check ebay. Make sure it has the code although those can be obtained if you have a serial number. If you want a CDC-3, I have one in the garage, PM me. I wouldn't want much for it.
CDR-220 easy to find on eBay. Also watch the Boxster forum. (986forum.com)
I've purchased several in the $100-$150 range. Don't spend more than that - there are plenty around.
Also may want to check w/ Oklahoma Foreign, [phone removed]. Gary usually has a few sitting around.
Glad to see another Taco owner onboard. Definitely need pics. I too have an Arena Red and grey interior with factory Aerokit. I don't think there are many of us around.
How did you locate yours? Any chance you'd share how much you purchased it for?
01 black/black C4 with the Taco here. I used to see a red Taco from time to time near my old office and I know there is at least one other black/black taco in my area too.
Only have 2 pics of 996 for now. Will take more tomorrow. So how did I locate it, well it actually located me, and it's a long & crazy story. I've told it a dozen times, each time it gets a little shorter. This will be the minimum relavent facts. On March 1 at 8:30am, I traded my white 2014 Cayman for the 2014 Amaranth Red CaymanS in a LaQuinta motel parking lot. This was the culmination of a 3 week phone negotiation with Performance Porsche in Durham, NC. Note that March 1 was a Sunday. My SA, and his little brother, had driven my new Red Cayman from Durham to my home location, Slidell, La the day before. With 1.5 hr traffic delay in Montgomery, Al. it was a 12 hr trip for them. There's nother crazy story behind the reasons for and delivery process itself, but I wont go into that here. So its Sunday 9am, where to go drive the new car. Decided to go to Baton Rouge (85miles) to surprise brother-in-law Mark with the new car. After I tell him all about the parking lot transaction we take off for a demo ride. He says " Go down Highland Rd., I was coming home from LSU game last nite and I saw an older classic 911 in somebodies driveway out the corner of my eye, I think it had a 4-sale sign in the window, lets check it out". And you guessed it I bought the Arena Red taco911 on the spur of the moment that same afternoon. It was a crazy awesome day. Taco is a '99 and has 46k miles, I paid 23K. Good condition, had lot of maintenance documentation from respected local indy mech. I have since spent another 3K to upgrade the IMS bearing, replace clutch and the RMS. Car drives great, I cant believe it is as much fun to drive as the Cayman S which has Manual trans and X73. The previous owner had a set of high end aftermarket wheels on the 996 which he transferred to his new 2010 Carrera. And the wheels on Taco are the from the 2010 Carrera. Said he searched 3 years before he found the Taco 911 and really wanted a black one, but gave up and settled for the Arena Red. He loved the car and hated to let it go, but kind of had to because the wife cant drive a manual. His new 2010 is PDK. The previous owner just happens to be the Director of Photography for the New Orleans Saints. So he staged the two cars with me and brother-in-law Mark in between, gets on top of 6' step ladder to shoot the driveway picture.
