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.

Hello all, long time lurker first time poster! I'm proud to say that I'm finally the owner of such a great car. It's a 2000 C2 manual and tight as a drum. I am really surprised at how solid this thing feels and I count myself lucky to be able to afford one.
Dan
Mr. Bates, it would please my juvenile sense of humor GREATLY if it turned out that you were a harbor master, or a master mechanic, or even a headmaster at a private school. Can you confirm mastery in any discipline so I can just SAY IT and get it out of my system?
Yours truly,
A perpetually 13-year-old RL member
Yeah just a base 2000. It's the Millennium Edition that didn't take Y2K seriously. At least that's how I look at it. I think the only option it has is a sticky radio tuner ****. Like, sticky to the touch, very odd especially after the dealer's detail job.
Your wife...Master Bates. That's awesome. Thanks for throwing me a bone.
Autozone sells stuff they call bumper coating in a rattle can - it dries to a dark gray soft-touch plastic. Pull your radio ***** off, mount them temporarily on a skewer or coat hanger, and hit 'em with two or three coats of the bumper coating. It completely encapsulates the sticky plastic and dries to the same color and finish as the original **** material.
I don't know what they made them from, but once they start going sticky, Armor All and every other protectant I tried just makes them worse.
Incidentally, I've only seen that color on cabs before, and I really didn't like the way it contrasts with the soft top. I think it looks great on the coupe.
Thanks brother, I think I will pull them soon. Next mod will be GT3 console delete. Even at 6'2" 300lbs (all in the legs, thanks military) I'm surprisingly comfortable. But that console just pokes into my shin/knee without mercy.
Yup, roughly same dimensions here, and that console delete is a must-have.
I have never bothered installing the onboard computer control stalk because I figure I'd just be whacking it with my knee.
LOL!!! You bought this car from Tacoma Porsche, correct?
I was looking at this car while doing some online shopping.
Very nice 996. Love the color combo!
Congrats and Welcome!

Why yes I did!! They are a great dealer, really took care of me, especially with the seat replacement. Motors were bad and they replaced them free of charge.
And is the CD holder things the actual player portion of the stereo?

Thanks! Through some force that I can't explain my last two cars and current truck have been the exact same forest green. It's grown on me and hopefully it wins some people over!
Welcome to Rennlist Dan. Nice to see yet another new Porsche 911 owner. Looks like you bought a nice example and have good things to say about your dealer.
Well, I must take a moment to thank everyone for the warm welcome, this has got to be the only auto forum where everybody is on the same side. Whether it's battling smoke out of the tailpipes or recovering from a wayward IMSB, someone always has a bit of helpful information. It's really good to see!
I've just received my copy of 101 Projects and I'm excited to dive in! Have a good weekend all!

Ah, my bad. You said you were in the military and that's Navy country up there with a submarine base and a Naval Air Station. Bubblehead = submariner; airedale = aviator.
Oh okay, I got you now. I was in the Air Force (though usually attached to the army) and now I work for the navy. I'm definitely using those terms now!
