on the 4S I fixed the clutch pedal and replaced the exhaust headers for a pair of fabspeeds.

Coverage and how to read this overview
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 Surfer, I just got back from a DE event at Watkins glen, and really noticed i need a suspension fix, and im thinking of getting the PSS10's with adjustabke sway bars, and I'm curious when you mentioed "big bucks". how much should i expect to pay for a 996 C4? thanks
My first 996 was built as a track toy so it had everything. My current one, (in order) I swapped steering wheels to a 3 spoke, swapped to sport seats and then the fabspeed exhaust.
More or less in order... litronics, clear side markers, trim rings for the gages, EVOMs intake and exhaust, REVO flash, B&M short shift kit, Porsche Exclusive ****, three spoke wheel, Porsche 5mm spacer kit, stereo upgrade with iPod intregration, GT3 chin spoiler, ridiculous overpriced Porsche gas cap, Bilstein B6 shocks, LN IMS bearing upgrade, console delete... I also somehow acquired the little Porsche umbrella that fits in the pocket beside the passenger seat. And the Porsche first aid kit. And the Porsche telescoping snow brush. Love Christmas.
There might have been some repairs and maintenance along the way. It's all kind of a fog.
And the best part? The car still looks bone stock.
What is 'Orange box mod above the clutch pedal' ? I am going to have a look at my clutch pedal for an annoying click it makes sometime when depressed. So, if this is a mod I would want to do, I may well while in there.

If I remember correctly . . .
First addition was winter wheels and tires.
Clear side markers (RL approved!)
Hardwired V1
Rennline black aluminum pedals.
PSS10s
Summer wheels and tires.
Fabspeed mufflers.
On a related note, fixed up the garage to make it Porsche-worthy!
One of the bigger changes along the way was just getting a random orbital polisher, good polish and some good wax.
Photos if interested . . .

Current mods:
Clear side markers.
Hardwired radar detector.
New winter wheels and winter tires.
Bumper Plugs.
Next mods:
Exhaust. Probably Fabspeed mufflers to start, possibly cats. Haven't decided yet.
Clear bra (after I have the bumper resprayed)
Sound system. Leaning towards the Pioneer Avic.
Timely topic for me, as the obsession is just beginning....
1. Clear side markers
2. "almost" hardwired v1... in progress
3. iPod adapter from CDR220 aux out
4. Bumper plugs
5. To be determined....
I made a little diagram for you. This improves shifting characteristics in the car. It removes that pesky feature where it drops the revs when you push in the clutch.
Well when I get it...(hopefully in November)
New mats
And then I will prioritize based on what I see. Mostly cosmetic stuff to start I think.
Maybe something for my wheel fetish
i recall when i took delivery of the 996 back in 4/2000 i drove across the street to the gas station next to the dealer and had them put on my 19" speedline rg5 3 pieces. This was right after the salesman gave me the keys, and he was shocked to see it already in the shop. I then went to the muffler shop and had the fabspeed headers and mufflers installed. The next weekend the H&R coilovers and sway bars. following month the TRG piggyback, and i stopped keeping track of the changes since then
The first mods... very first thing was a pumkinectomy.
Followed closely by:
GT3 shift ****
Custom Alcantara ebrake and rear lid cover
Painted rear center console (to match Orient Red exterior)
B&M SSK
Tubi Exhaust
Waiting on my SRP pedals to arrive....
