I can still get in through my wheel spokes to the rear part of the wheel to clean with the correct cleaning instruments when washing, and when I need to do a quick detail I use a Swiffer

Suggestion
I chose the x74 for mine because it gave me the drop I needed, the kit was complete and pre-assembled, easy install, no adjustments though but that means I do not have to have the alignment adjusted if I adjust my suspension.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

Hi All,
I Just picked up my first 996, which is a 2002 C4 Cab. triple black, navigation, heated seats, full leather, 45K miles, all and all the car looks really good. I have been snooping around this sit for a few, getting Ideas of which model, year I should look for. Reading a lot of post help a great deal on that venture so thanks to all!!
I know no Pictures. My bad...but I just Got the car back home from a 2.5 hr trip no light out side and it is black will post some tomorrow
i wanted to post pictures I think the rear and the side lights are smoked a little???, looks cool...I wanted your input...stock or custom
FYI :4-large ,I have 4 young kids (3 boys and a girl).... Just pop into my head
Thanks
Jerry
Hey Jerry, Welcome! Car sounds fantastic!!! I cant wait to see it? I see you still have a few more posts to go before you can even posts pics! Congrats and anything you want to know dont hesitate to ask! Trust me if you have any questions, somebody has experienced or researched it!!
Thanks Michael! Thanks SpeedDemon!
So how many post do I need to have under my belt to post a Pic.
I am very novice in regards to P-cars...probably no answers from me
.... and unless I ask a lot of questions! and i do not want to be some burden
how do I get my pic on the site???
Jerry
So need to get the numbers up
Well I am driving the car home, and it is totally incredible!! you all have one so a waist of words...I look down and I need gas. Pull into the gas station to fill up and what do you know, I am their like 15 min pushing buttons my back is going up and down, I am in the car out of the car,
So this guy walks up and wants to talk to me about my car...at this time I am really trying not to look stupid..I think it was working. So he starts asking me about the car, does it this, that, how fast, yada yada then he looks at me and said
WHAT ARE YOU DOING...I said looking in the manuel on how to open the gas door And gave him a look like how could you ask such a question, ya got it opened and left quick
Lol, 5 posts and you should be able to post pics! Dont sweat it, ask away!! But i encourage you to perform a search before common questions as may things have been covered in depth!
Welcome to the board and its the ole ''thread sucks without pics. Go in the OT and runs down five posts real quick. The gas tank thing was funny though. Enjoy it!
Sounds great! Welcome to the water cooled club.When my boys were young(small) they loved riding in the back seats of my 79' 911SC, but that was in 1994.Today they still talk about that car.
Jerry - Contrats and Welcome to Rennlist! Your car "sounds" nice, bit since there are not pics, we can't be certain of that. BTW, that was the nicest way I have EVER asked a "newbie" to POST the @#$%^&* PICS!
Again, Welcome to Rennlist and the Porsche Phunny Pharm!
Oh, and we'll wait a day or two and then help you compile your MODS list! (hee hee)
when u lock the car, the gas door get locked automatically, all 996 does this.
OP, cong~~~
i still hesitate some times when pulling into gas station, becuase i need to figure out where the gas door is? is it driver-side rear? psg-side rear? or psg-side front? driver-side front?
Very nice car, looks like you don't have to do much in term of cosmetics (Mods),...maybe the gauge-Alu rings, would look nice on your black-black car. Again welcome!
I want PSS9 first! ASAP, and get a set of 19" for the street Not sure what will look good??? any thoughts
But i agree that I need some goodies for the inside an that would be a good start when I am done with the out
Cheers
Jerry
Yes lower it a bit but keep in mind your driveway, looks short and has a good transition area at the top and bottom (if that is your driveway in the pics I see). So maybe a RoW M030 will do you fine, but it's up to you.
The 18's you have look good enough to keep.
I like the cars that have no gap above the wheels, or small gap
The PSS9 might fix that problem??? but also
I think I want a 5 spoke more room for my hand when cleaning, break dust no fun cleaning
Jerry
I had a 993 with small "springs" I think it was a 1.5" drop??? I had no problem in the drive way
My drive way is the one with the door open in the pic.
I want to track the car...I will not be aggressive on the track...I SUCK...No seat time...one event with M3...but i want to learn!
So with that said would you still put on anything other than PSS9?
Jerry
It will.
Sorry but a sad excuse to buy 5-spoke wheels when other wheels look better on a Porsche IMHO. I can still get in through my wheel spokes to the rear part of the wheel to clean with the correct cleaning instruments when washing, and when I need to do a quick detail I use a Swiffer
There are other suspension systems out there besides the PSS9. You will not get any swaybars etc. with the PSS9's where with other systems you will get a complete kit (M030 or x74 - I am not familiar with exactly what systems are available for your car to be honest). I chose the x74 for mine because it gave me the drop I needed, the kit was complete and pre-assembled, easy install, no adjustments though but that means I do not have to have the alignment adjusted if I adjust my suspension. Do some research on this forum for suspension as this subject has been covered many times before. With 18's and lowered suspension your car will definately be low. Don't get me wrong the PSS9 is a great system to have (street or track), so is the x74 and others.
Keep us posted
OK here is a starter list:
B&M Short Shifter.
Aluminum Gauge Rings.
Aluminum Pedals.
Stock 3.6L muffler PSE Mod.
Spoiler Switch installed in Horseshoe.
Garage Door Opener Switch installed in Horseshoe.
Painted the Brake Calipers Red.
Painted "top hats" Silver.
Suspension - like you said ROW M030 or X74 or PSS9
MK II side skirts.
When you're finished with those mods, let me know and I will give you "page 2."
That sound Like a good start!
where is the best places to get that stuff?
I am leaning towards x74 where to get it an how long does it take on order time?
Top hats?
Spoiler Switch installed in Horseshoe, Garage Door Opener Switch installed in Horseshoe: Horeshoe? and are they kits
PSE that is the pipe addition?
Top hats - first three pics. They also show my calipers after I painted them red.
Spoiler switch and Garage Door Opener switch - 4th pic. They are the top two switches on the left side of the Upper Center Console (a.k.a. horseshoe). Do a search on "garage" and on "spoiler" to find some DIY's and all the specifics of the mods.
PSE Mod - 5th pic. The muffler on the left has been modded to simulate PSE sound.
Thanks gota911
this will help lots!!!
PSE mod looks easy, how is the performance benefits? Im in for the try
My breaks are silver, if I paint, powder coat? or?? and where do you get the lettering??
Top hat....will do! that looks sweet...clean
Switches that is what I needed to hear, that will fill them all up. will look tonight on DIY for all and see if any body points me in the right direction on where to order that stuff
Jerry
Jerry,
here is the link to the best MK II muffler mod :
https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...ferrerid=54027
You need to use 3.6L mufflers with SS pipe and SS welds to keep it right. Contact FisterD for any questions. BTW there are no power gains from this mod, just sound improvement.
You can get the caliper paint at most automotive stores, it's made by Dupli-color (link here:
http://duplicolor.com/products/caliper.html
). There are a couple of write-ups on this forum on how to do it yourself with this kit. You can also get the decals on eBay. I had mine powder coated which required R&R the calipers, more involved than the DC kit where you can paint the calipers while they are still on the rotors.
Top hat painting is straight forward.
Speed D.
Thanks
I am with you and will Powder coat, will do it the same time I do the x74 reading your post and others on that setup seems better for me as well. thanks!
My 2002 should have the 3.6 right?
Any idea on the switches, I ask that know, but I just got back to the computer and will start the searc .
Although it seems you have read some threads and maybe mine already, here is some info:
I got mine from a ebay seller through a Group Buy on another forum, PM me if interested in looking into this, his work is great but of course more expensive than the DIY. Here's a link to my thread of that mod and a couple of others I did at the same time:
https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...ferrerid=54027
Here's the link to my x74 install:
https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...ferrerid=54027
I want to say yes you have a 3.6L in your 2002, but I am new to the Porsche world myself so I am not 100% sure when they went from 3.4L to 3.6L to 3.8L. Others will chime in to answer that question.
Sorry I know nothing about the switches as I do not intend to do any more interior mods except seats, harnesses and a roll bar for tracking purposes (and a fire extinguisher for anytime).
Nice job, i like the yellow! I think with my black car I will do red, But not sure???
Found the first switch and ordered, looking for the second.
Any thought on x74 where to order
Contact your P-car dealer for the switches.
The spoiler switch is actually a 996 Turbo Spoiler switch. I don't have the part number for that, so just tell the parts guy it is a 996 996 Turbo Spoiler switch. The switch used for the garage door opener is a Targa Shade switch part # 996 613 119 10 A05.
Thanks
Gota 911
I got the two switches at dcautomotive.com
reading your post's on the subject gave me enough info. Thanks
99661311910A05 $33.84 1 tip switch black matshade
