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.

Congrats on the new purchase. Agree I like the earlier headlights more (I've owned both)
POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
Thanks OZ. The cluster has grown on me, still would like to do a 997 front end conversion, but wont be next week, I think I c an live with it for a while!
POST 6Original post
Welcome! I like the white gauge faces, kinda wish mine had that, nice little contrast on an all black car. I think that maybe a PPI might have been a good call, the would have discovered that the steering wheel and dash was installed incorrectly (as in, on the wrong side).......lol. Enjoy, she is a looker!
POST 7Original post
Your C4 looks great, love the wheels and white guage faces. Those must be negatives, the steering wheel isn't in the correct position. Actually, I'd like to drive with a right hans configuration just to see what it's like. Thanks for the pics, it's beautiful. How far are you from Christschurch?
POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
Thanks for the kind words! I live 5 minutes walk from the central city in Christchurch... which is why I am not going to bother with suspension mods lol
POST 9Original post
That will be lots of fun in New Zealand's beautiful country side roads! A few years back I drove around several parts of the South Island (a rental car) and loved the roads down there. My car is very similar to yours, with the steering on the other side: http://www.johnmiranda.com/porsche.htm Congrats and Enjoy! John

POST 14Original post
I love a black on black cab. Great looking wheels, I have the same on my C4. Enjoy it in good health!
