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.

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.

Sunroof delete sounds good. Also rear wiper delete. Delete that god awful dynamic sound thing that hasn't been touched since I bought the car. Only things I might like to have would be built in nav, but not that important and those body color seat belts and seat beading.
LSD and X51... and a different color. Maybe white with some sort of football leather colored interior and black carpets.
Hell let's check the turbo box while we're at it... or at least the c4s cause daddy likes the caboose.

GT3 PCCB and suspension, Center radiator with GT3 front bumper, PDK transmission (been driving manual transmissions since 1952, enough is enough? Spyder European Delivery in May), PCM with navigation/CD-DVD/MP3/AUX/USB/satellite radio/Bluetooth for Arai helmet and iPhone/WiFi, cameras front and rear and Full Bucket Seats with five/seven point seat belts.
We enjoy the size of the 996.1 C2 and have taken many long trips to West and East Coast, Pikes Peak, Bonneville Salt Flats, NRA Whittington Center and Philmont Scout Ranch. Our modern Porsches, that perform better than the 996, even with the added creature comforts, have corrupted us. "What is old was once new!" Our 996.1 is aging gracefully with a new Jake Raby engine, for additional touring and track miles.
Aero kit was a must for me in black, yellow, red or white otherwise I would have not bought it.. I was fortunate that my 99 came with LSD.. Of course an X51 would have been nice.
Heh. I don't really want a Turbo - and I don't really NEED 100 more HP - but hey, it was all about wishes in this thread.
I do miss having a supercharger. The SC whine is such a cool sound...it's the official international "crap, I just got nailed by a sleeper" sound.
Yeah, right, and your wife probably doesn't want you to have a giant:
Austin Powers - It's a Huge/GIANT/ENORMOUS.....DICK/PECKER/PRIVATES/****/WILLIE - YouTube
Mine came with heated seats.
I now have 3.8 Nickies litres, and the Solution. Basically, a new, more powerful engine.
I just upgraded my stereo yesterday (photos in a couple of weeks). Kept the Bose speaker array, for now. Plenty of clean Alpine sound, full bluetooth, Siri support, etc.
My sunroof stays closed, unless I want to open it.
I stopped taking acid decades ago.
And I have the footwell mounted cupholders. Thanks to whomever tipped me on this board.
I guess the auto-dimming mirror would be nice, but I am pretty content for the moment.
Not guards red- but I did this on my Arctic Silver a few weeks ago. Sanded them down, shot them with adhesion promoter- two coats primer- sanded lightly between each coat, three coats color and two coats of the catalyzed clear. Looks great- makes it look lower to the ground and for some reason it seems faster too. OK, it doesn't feel faster... but it looks great. With the catalyzed clear you have to wear a mask- but no need to polish it as it is already hardened. Got my paint from paintscratch and was a perfect match. We will see how it holds up.....?
I have no clue if it's offered on a 996 - but an option I really like on the more modern models is the seat coolers. I just love that fan blowing cool air up my *** on a hot day!! Wish I had that in the 996!!
Alcantara steering wheel, sun visors, shifter and console side pieces....oh wait, they should be at my house when I return in a few weeks! Looking forward to that.
