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.

Hey everyone, new to the forums here so i'm just introducing myself. Just recently bought my dads Porsche 911, he got it when it had around 11k miles on it and now there is only aroun 19k miles on it. It is an mazing car and definitely a huge upgrade from my old Shinka Rx-8 (even though that car was a lot of fun).
Anyway, i'm new to the forums so i guarantee i'll have plenty of rookie questions and ill try my best to research before posting.
2000 911 996 coupe 6 spd
Factory Aero kit
Carbon fiber interior (steering wheel, shift ****, center consol, around radio)
Not sure on name or specs of the wheels or spoiler so if anyone could let me know that would be great. Also the measurements for the center caps for the wheels.
Also if anyone has the measurement for lug nuts that would also help out.
Wheels look like Sport Classic II's to me.
If the wheels are OEM (not reproduction) the lug nuts are probably 14mm x 1.5, R14 ball seat. Length is sometimes measured differently (Threads to ball seat, threads to bolt head, overall) but your bolts are likely 28mm shank length (to ball seat) unless somebody has previously installed spacers and longer bolts.
Thanks for all the info guys. Yeah the wheels are a pain to clean. I got some mothers wheel cleaner that did a pretty good job though (kinda pricey). Love the car so far and gona detail it first thing tomorrow, maybe take some better pictures.
Nice looking 996 venom914, welcome to Rennlist. Post some pics of your 914 as well. Didi your Dad purchase another Porsche after selling his 911 to you?
Also, while we are being nitpicky. That basketball hoop in the back does NOT look like it is regulation height.
Enjoy the new ride, it looks fantastic. Welcome to 996 ownership, it doesn't suck.
LOL I knew after I posted it I was coming off as nitpicky. Wasn't really my intention as it is a very nice looking car. Just saying that he needs some conditioner!
Don't have a 914, 914 is my area code (westchester NY) hahah. As for my dad he's just saving until one day either get back into a porsche or into another fastback mustang ( he had a 67 and a 65 both fastback but sold those a few years back).
Welcome and congratulations
Glad to see it staying in the family, I hope your able to put a few more miles on it then your dad. Enjoy and keep us posted with modifications.
As its a low mileage 996 with some rare options, have you considered just storing it for your collection instead of driving it? I would consider moving it inside and just keeping up with maintenance.
Also has more carbon fiber parts that i'll have some more pics of hopefully soon. Never really thought about just storing it but I will be trying to drive it less to keep it at low mileage, have a civic dd available as well.
