Read evidence and context
Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Since then the decklid was replaced and I have removed the snorkel.
Leading evidence: 'Replace since' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace since' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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 posted this on 6Speed, but wanted to make sure that anyone who doesn't go there saw this too. There were lots of people who helped me on this adventure and I want to make sure no one was missed... plus you guys get the new & improved pics...
I picked up my MY02 C2 last May and really enjoyed the car through the Summer. As Fall ended, the car went into storage for its 5-month nap. Over the course of the Winter I had two friends get really sick, and had a health scare myself. I then realized you only live once, so I dipped into the savings to make the C2 "just right." Over the rest of the winter I accumulated all the modifications I wanted and have just finished. Here's a list of what went on:
IPD Plenum
- You all know the discussions. It seems to generate more power, but I want it to, so who knows.
FVD Brombacher Powerflow Intake
- Disappointed with the fitment for the filter, poor quality rubber coupler, ill-fitting oil filler holder,and poorly sized MAF bolts, but it seemed to be the only option, placing the filter right beside the decklid air duct.
RoW M030
- Fantastic. Better performance, a little lower, but not too low that I have to worry about the bumper.
Yokohama Advan Neova AD070
- So much stickier than the Continentals. People warned me about wet conditions, but I found them to have plenty of grip.
GT3 Decklid & Blade
- Received a a little misinformation and ended up with this, instead of an Aerocup II. I think I may be losing a little power sitting in traffic, but it's on the track where I need it, and it doesn't seem to be an issue. Will be hooking up an OBD2 reader to get temps and make a decision on the wiring mod for the decklid fan.
Aerocup II Bumper
- better performance and a beautiful piece of art.
I've ended up with a car with a little better performance than stock. Is faster on the track, yet very compliant on the road. Cruising, I hear a pleasant subtle growl that I could listen to all day, yet it becomes ferocious on the track in combination with the PSE. The car is very stable at high speed now and looks fantastic. It has MKI sideskirts, but I honestly think it still looks well matched.
Thank you to everyone on the forum who helped me out with this.
Car looks sweet. I'm not sure re: performance but aesthetically I think the Mk I skirts look good, I was never a fan of the MKII skirts the line looks a little too severe.
Thanks everyone for the positive comments.
Botsy, attached is a pic of the intake with the original C2 decklid. Since then the decklid was replaced and I have removed the snorkel.
Yup Tippy, the car came with MKI sideskirts. I'm happy with the look, despite not being "technically" correct.
From what I can tell, all MY02s with that factory option came with MKI skirts.
If the MKII GT3 didn't come out till 2004, would that mean the Aerocup II parts weren't available till then?
