I did paint the interior trim red (It was previously silver), fixed a broken drivers side door handle, welded new exhaust tips and repaired the rear GT2 wing.

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.

Hello,
I just recently bought a 2000 Porsche 911 C4 in Colorado, I do believe it belonged to a previous owner here on the forums. Purchased for only 14K.
The vehicle does have a rebuilt transmission (2nd gear) from Gbox, IMS bearing fixed and RMS fix. 103,000 miles, I have all the service records.
I am in the Army, stationed at Fort Carson, CO. (Will be stationed in Hawaii later this year
) My other vehicle is a 2012 Subaru STI.
So far I am excited about this Porsche, drives very well. I did paint the interior trim red (It was previously silver), fixed a broken drivers side door handle, welded new exhaust tips and repaired the rear GT2 wing.
I look forward on having discussions and learning from you guys.
Welcome to Rennlist! Congratulations, it looks great! I am also from Colorado and own an STi. Enjoy and if you ever need anything be sure to let me know.
So I made a few changes since owning the vehicle:
1. Replaced power steering rack (left boot on previous rack was leaking)
2. Endlinks
3. Koni sport suspension with HR springs
4. Rear brake pads and rotors
5. Hydrodipped interior (glossy red)
6. Weathertech floor mats
7. New center caps for wheels (ebay, Chinese knock offs)
8. Gauge cluster, shifter and center arm rest leather changed to black with red stitching
9. Removed old wing for a stock one
Future plans:
1. New set of summer tires (any suggestions?) moving to Hawaii in 30 days.
2. Repaint front hood to fix rock chips
3. Sparco pro 2000 seats (driver and passenger)
4. GMG World Challenge Bar (red)
5. Replace clock light on gauge (faded)
6. Red seat belts
7. Fabspeed competition intake
8. Headers and Cats (unsure yet)
9. Carbon-fiber steering wheel
10. Open to suggestions
It looks great! Love your changes.... Pilot Super Sports are really really good tires and highly rated.... You might add engine mounts to your "futures" list.
Here's a pic from spring break when our family went to pay hommage.....
Nice! Always good to see other whovians, love the pic. I'm a Matt Smith person and my wife is David Tennant fanatic.
Ill check out those tires and engine mounts.
Also need to look into foam padding or something to stop annoying squeaks of old interior parts.
I kinda liked the GT2 wing. But maybe that's just me.
I really like the rear center console cover - have been thinking about doing that for my car as it has deviated stitching. How hard was it?
For the gauge cluster cover, mine already has the factory leather w/deviated stitching, but I would like to know where you got it and how hard it was to install. I haven't seen that as an aftermarket item.
i'm seriously thinking of painting my center console silver - theres a DIY photo instructional on the website:

Welcome to the forum! Love the red
When you are ready for the intake and exhaust components I would be happy to work with you and answer any questions you have. I'll also get you set up with a military discount as well, thank you for your service!
We have the same problem. I'm with you on Matt Smith but the rest of my house liked Tennant a little better. We do however all agree that Ponds is the best assistant ever.
First, thank you for your service in our great country.
Without folks like you defending our freedom and protecting us, we would not be able to have this enjoyment.
Nice car, I like the color scheme interrior.
I still have it, may try to sell it on ebay or craigslist super cheap as the wing is cracked. You can hear tiny bits of fiberglass rattle inside the wing too.
I bought the leather pieces off ebay:

Installation was super easy, I just peeled the old thin pleather piece off (There is a thin foam layer under it, I kept that on) Sprayed some 3M HI-Strength 90 Contact Adhesive (Spray can) onto both pieces and then shaped the leather around the trim. The old trim was adhered using some spray adhesive as well it looked like.
The contact adhesive spray does have a strong chemical smell to it, takes a few days for it to dissipate.
Any more underside pics of the wing? Looks to be genuine GT2 wing from the one pic. If so, I would put that on eBay, even with the crack.
Plus you might wanna take a pic of that LN sticker for your records and possibly see if you can peel it off in one piece and transfer it to your doorjamb if it's still sticky or put it in with you manuals with the car.
Early mornings, I use the STI everytime; the vehicle heats up faster and in Colorado the weather is iffy. As you know the STI is boss in the snow
Work hours with clean weather I use the 996, the wife needs the STI for car seats. We had a new rental Cayenne, defiantly may purchase one in the near future.
Here are some pics of the STI:
$100 and its yours. Are you located in Dallas? If so this Sunday I am actually driving down there as I have to drop my car off at the Vehicle Processing Center to be shipped for Hawaii.
The wing will need to stripped. repaired and painted to look good again.
Shoot me an email or PM and we can talk more.
Great looking car! Nice job on the paint of the interior! I've repainted mine as well, same color
Was considering replacing leather trim for the one with Red Stitching, now that I see how it looks, would be my next project. You may want to consider putting "Tire Stickers" (see pic) , looks nice.
Umm....ya. Wow. Don't quite know what to say about the tire stickers other than it's a really loud way to advertise you bought cheap tires. If you want to post pics of a Boxster in the 996 forum they really need to look a little more like this:
When I want to advertise, I do it this way:
https://m.facebook.com/SHARKEnergyUkraine/
This is my company advertising on the product
What you have is a picture off Internet ...but I guess we are not discussing this....
I guess you are much more financially sound then me, that you can afford buying more expansive tires....
I merely suggested someone something that can be done.
Everyone has their own opinion on things 😉
