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.

Very very excited to have picked up my new car today! Thanks to everyone in my other thread who helped me out with great info.
2003 C4S. 102,000km
Haven't stopped driving it since I got it. It sounds fantastic.
I watched this video about 3 times before picking it up
The new Porsche 911 Carrera 4S w. Walter Rohrl 996 - YouTube
Hehe....that's th efirst thing I thought when I saw the back of the car
DaMann, drive it for a bit,t hen change them..it'll feel like a new one all over again
Excellent choice. And yes, the low/asymmetric exhausts are the 'positive motor mount replacement' sign.
Thanks to the Rennlist member that alerted me to it. Replaced mine as a result.
The C4S is. The best. 996. Period. Not the fastest. Not the most 'collectible' (whatever the h*ll that means).
Just the best. Perfect balance of equipment, cost, speed, appearance, etc. Let the Turbonistas pile on; it matters not. Best one. Bought another one, after I errantly dumped my first one for an S600.
I know this is an ongoing joke but doesn't everyone put it in the cubby in front of the shifter?
Already bought my first mod. Going to do the aluminum pedals. Aside from that I will keep it mostly stock and only concentrate on maintenance and keeping it running well. Looks like the first order of business are the engine mounts.
Nice ride! Here's a question for the experts - were the exhaust tips a selectable option? My car has the double barrel tips. Or does the configuration indicate PSE?
I looked at that car at Company of Cars. I'm still on the hunt. Would you mind PM'ing me with what you ended up picking it up for so I can baseline offers on a couple of other ones? As I recall, they were asking $35ish for it.
Nice car, I saw it the day after they got it in, it's in beautiful condition.

Nice. Think I would have preferred a lighter colour. The black tends to wash out the lines of the car. Either way I'm in love with this car. The engine sound is absolutely fantastic even with a stock exhaust.
