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.

I wonder how much weight can be realistically taken off the 996. Maybe at some point I want to make it a track car once it gets old enough. I already lost 30 lbs so can't lose anymore : ). Any thoughts? Is like 600 lbs realistic? Regards. Mike

Good one Ed : ). Thanks Finn for the list. Need to check after each one over time : ). If it comes down to just a track car-plan to remove the power seats and just put one GT3 seat in and with respect to windows since it's required to keep windows open just plan to remove both driver/passenger windows and electronics altogether. I have a sunroof so at some point remove that and put an airvent because going to take out A/C. Radio will all go since I hardly ever listen. Darn when that day comes I'm actually salivating how good/fast on the track it's going to be : ). Regards. Mike
