The Pirellis have worked out well (and are wearing surprisingly well), but I may look for something a bit more quiet when the time comes to replace tires.

With the linear drivetrain and toss-able nature, taken together with the full leather interior, solid construction, and assorted goodies, the car combines the best of the "boy racer," rev-happy set (think Italian) with the panache of a Mercedes SL or CL.
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.

Thrilled so far ... MY 2000,C2, equipped just as I would have wanted it. I have put on roughly 2000 miles in just over two weeks (53,300 on the clock now). Looking to put on many more before winter moves in. Did the LN bearing (double race original looked good), clutch, oil filter adapter, and a few other items.
The view from the driver's seat -- gauges, slope and curve of the hood -- coupled with the performance, make for the perfect sports car.
Thanks -- I don't mind the markers, yet. Getting better speakers put in later this week. Squeaky clutch is the only peeve, and even that is not overly annoying. (sounds like a helper spring issue).
Beautiful car -- jealous that you can drive it all year out there. I have long wanted this type of traditional BBS wheel (dating back to a 1984 BMW 5-series), but never had the right car at just the right time. They are my favorite Porsche wheel for any color, and with the Arctic Silver, in particular, they stand out and seem to lengthen the profile somewhat. Top down, from the side (and from the near-profile angle in the photo I posted), the car looks almost as Italian as it does German. Sets off the black of your car incredibly, as well.
Congratulations and welcome to rennlist. Glad to see your really enjoying it so far. If you decide to get rid of the pumpkins and go to the dark side

for more information. Enjoy, and keep us updated.
Well, it has been six weeks and a shade over 5,200 miles. Guess it's a keeper. Hope you are all enjoying your cars as much as we are -- shame that winter is almost at hand.
I have had my 99 (same combination as your car exactly) for just over 2 years and 7 months. Got it with 45000 on the clock. Now just done 68000 today. Do all my own Preventative Maintenance. Same double race bearing in mine. No records came with it so that fact turned me into a DIY guy. It will tear the **** off anything on the road hahaha. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.
Did a winter matching hard top come with yours? I drive all year.
Great stuff -- these cars truly are amazing. Performance has exceeded my expectations and the engineering is most impressive. With the linear drivetrain and toss-able nature, taken together with the full leather interior, solid construction, and assorted goodies, the car combines the best of the "boy racer," rev-happy set (think Italian) with the panache of a Mercedes SL or CL. It drives like a new car, and the convertible feature makes it a real blast in the nice weather. I had a local audio firm upgrade the speakers, which helped a great deal from the sonic perspective. The car came with the non-Bose HiFi system, so there were plenty of spots to put in better speakers.
Not much of a DIY'er these days, unfortunately, but we have a great local shop here and began the preventative maintenance approach before we even got title to the car.
By way of foul weather, we do not have a hardtop, though I plan to store it for only as long as necessary this winter. Not sure how immune these cars are to road salts, sand, and the like (we are in New England)? Way too much gravel on the roads these days, so I wince more than I used to already. The Pirellis have worked out well (and are wearing surprisingly well), but I may look for something a bit more quiet when the time comes to replace tires.
Great looking car. Welcome!
Now get ready because we're going to help you spend your money on mods!
Here are a few to be thinking about
:
Clear side markers
Fister D exhaust
RoW M030 suspension or if you really want to step it up - PSS9/PSS10s
Aero kit
997/GT3 shifter
The list goes on...
Holy #$%^! WTF are you trying to do? I cant do half that much driving in over a year with mine. Hope you got a handle on the PM. BTW, very nice cab. Glad your enjoying it.
I pulled into the garage today having put exactly 10,000 miles on the car. Absolutely remarkable, and altogether fun, automobile. So glad I did not garage it for the winter.
I like the original side markers and rear tail lights the best for the 996 and I know I am in the minority. Enjoy the summer with your NEW Porsche convertible and welcome.
