As for my daughter, she is definitely putting in the time to earn the car....helps me with repairs and track prep....helped change the motor mounts, and last month changed the brake pads for the track all on her own (supervised of course)....she was actually mad that I cleaned the radiators when she was at camp and didn't wait for her....she is also asking a lot of questions on shifting, power, and handling.....I am soooo proud!!!

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Ha...yeah...we'll see....IMS was replaced at 90K...was in great shape....no play...knock on wood, there are no issues...well other than all the new rattles and buzzing that came up after replacing the engine mounts with track hardness semi-solids....but...it just adds to the charm...
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.

Last night my 2001 C2 passed 100,000 miles.....
Bought in April 2009 with 52,000 miles....
Driven year round (blizzaks on 17in rims in winter)...
6 DEs on average per year...several autocrosses in between...
Driven to redline whenever possible....
So far, the 996 has been reliable, and taken everything I can throw at it....my twins (5 years old then, now 13 years old) have loved riding in it since I got it, and my daughter has claimed it when she turns 16
(we'll see about that, but she will definitely drive it...).
Here's a brief recap of her history since I got her...
98,963 miles
- replaced original stock motor mounts with Rennline tuneable (Red/Blue combo)
98,500 miles
- Replaced failed ignition switch
94,800 miles...replaced radiators
- driver's side radiator punctured, replaced both, and front hoses
90,600 miles...replaced fuel pump and level sender unit
- fuel pump failed......replaced both
89,600 miles preventive engine out service....
- Replaced IMS (dual row) with LNE bearing....old IMS was in great shape
- Replaced original waterpump (no issues with pump/fins)
- Replaced T-stat
- Replaced all belts
- Replaced idler pulleys (no play in them)
- Replaced Clutch...it had some life left, but since they were in there....
75000 miles.....suspension upgrade
- Bilstein performance shocks/struts
- H&R Racing Springs (1.5" drop)
- Replaced AOS
71,000 miles...replaced immobilizer
- Immobilizer failed...replaced with new along with two key heads...
56,000 miles...replaced alternator
- replaced alternator with new and all belts...
Oil changes every 5,000 miles with Mobil1 0W-40....
Everything else stock/original....
Thanks all! It has been a great car, and I still get a smile whenever I fire her up....and I happen to love the look of the fried egg headlights!!!
This forum has been a huge help in learning about the car, and taking on maintenance and repairs myself. I appreciate all of the knowledge and support from the community!

Congrats. How has your rear seat wear been with kids riding in it for 7 years?
I've wondered about this as there are not too many long term sample data for this.
They were able to comfortably sitting back there until ~10 years old, after that (when they were ~5 feet tall), it was a bit too tight....they could suffer through short trips, but the last long (150+ mile) trip was when they were 11....it was their choice to take the 911 over the SUV for that weekend, so they couldn't complain...
, although they did say never again....
Congratulations! You are enjoying your 911 as so many Porsche engineers hoped you would! I'm just starting this adventure with a "new to me" 05 996TT. I've got a summer of autocross and HPDE planned and I've already bought my winter wheels! I've got 45K more miles to go to celebrate your 100K!
Excellent!
I KNOW the key to these cars running properly and efficiently is to DRIVE THEM.
I now have 66,700 on my 2002 cab.
Best wishes for another 100K miles!

Your daughter deserves a trip to a real driving school. Not just a club DE, but a real school where she gets to flog school cars and have a minimum of two or three track days with all that goes with it. She will have much greater confidence when she gets to put "her" 996 on the track.
I know the feeling, both my 996 are well past 130K per - thus far, zero issues, truly, only performed Services and Oil changes with various Performance Updates. I use my Cab as my daily Driver and the Targa as my weekend/Track/DE events.
I don't know, according to Flat6Innovations and a few others on this forum, it's going to blow up tomorrow, so you better send it in for a 20k rebuilt asap.
Congrats! I plan to break 100k soon and then it's off to 200K.
I bought my C4S with 76K and have managed to put 5K in the first month. It's my daily driver even with a lightweight aluminum flywheel and heavy clutch. In fact the clutch is as heavy if not heavier then my 68' Chevelle. Althought the Chevelle's is a linkage clutch setup whereas the Porsche is a hydraulic clutch which does make a difference. If something catastrophic happens along the way to 200K then it's either LS conversion, try to buy a reasonably priced replacement engine or buy another Porsche. I've waited 30+ years to own and drive one and nothing is going to stop me now that i'm living my dream.
Porsche, there is NO substitute!!!
She will definitely get the full school experience...going to start her in autocross, then PCA DE's (CVR has a great program), but I see a professional school in her future.....she just has to wait a few more years...3 yeas actually...until she gets her license...
WOW...I am looking forward to that as well....it gets snow tires in the winter, and driven all year long....although the Cayenne get most of the daily duties now...
