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.

Hope all are well. Long time lurker, first time post.
Just purchased this 2002 C2 6-speed with 15,500 miles. Meridian Metallic over black interior, 6-speed manual. It is such a fun car, love the low end torque and high speed legs. Gets to triple digits in a hurry.
I'm 3rd owner. It started life in Missouri, then California, now Illinois. It had the LN Engineering IMS retrofit completed at 10k. It needs a couple of center caps replaced on the 17" wheels and a couple of surface flaws corrected but other than that, it's a well maintained beauty.
I'm looking for a set of 18x8/18x10 Carrera II lightweight wheels. Please do let me know if anyone is selling.
Cheers!
FWIW, I have the exact same car and just turned 27k mikes but I had to pay for LN retrofit. My car has the 18's and I really like the look. It's also lowered with h&k springs. Good luck with it. I'm enjoying the hell out of mine. Tried to upload a photo but keep getting that damn parse error
Thanks, Arne.
Do you have photos of those on your car? I saw those on eBay looking around but am not too sure if it would look "right". Also wondered about the difference in offset.
Nice car!
I had a set of the Carrera wheels but they kept getting bent on the lousy roads around here. Hope you have better luck with the IL highways.

Mine had 18000 on it a few moths ago when I got it, now 22000. I also had the IMSB and some other things done. I AM MORE THAN HAPPY WITH MY FIRST PORSCHE
Meridian Metallic?,..interesting color !!
Congratulations
nice car, nice mileage
try Wheel Collision Center for the lightweights

Wow! Super low miles... make sure all the fluids are flushed and refreshed and go out and DRIVE IT!
Ps. Naperville area... drop a PM if your ever in the area and need to talk early 996's!
Pss. CONGRATS!!!
Thanks for the comments everyone!
I was searching for Silver lightweights, and ended up finding a set of black ones for a great deal. I fitted them with Bridgestone RE11s after reading lots of your feedback, and looking forward to putting them to use
I'm set for a while. Hope to see some of the locals out at events.
Cheers,
Seneca
