Yes, I've got 2 of those in my basement currently not being used, plus a 20 gallon of a different brand that I'll try as well.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I tried searching before posting... I'm wondering what size plastic storage boxes will fit inside the frunk of a `99 C2. I'd like to be able to put stuff inside during track days so that if it rains, nothing gets wet. Plus it's easy to remove and install all the stuff. Does anyone know what size boxes or bags fit in there nicely? Maybe something like 1 or 2 of these: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Sterilit...8604/204606576

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I see some luggage sets in other countries for sale, but I was hoping not so much for luggage, but for waterproof plastic for the track. I did find measurements but only of width. I may need to drive the 911 to Home Depot https://www.car-bags.com/en/shop/por...et-detail.html

POST 4Original post

Maybe some kayak bags. They are soft sided and waterproof???

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Interesting idea. But for luggage, I'll just use simple, inexpensive duffle bags that I have and put them in giant zip-loc bags. I love those huge zip-locs. I just ordered the 20 gallon size on Amazon, which is about 2' x 2.5' in size. But I was hoping to find plastic boxes that fit really well into the frunk so I can put loose track items, like tape, EZ pass, small tool bags, etc, inside.

POST 6Original post

It's not a container as such be a big blue Ikea bag fits perfectly and has handles so you can easily pull it out. I have one in my frunk, dont tell Ikea haha

POST 7Original post

Let us know what you find. Maybe a container store?

POST 8Original post

I have a plastic bin that fits pretty tidy. I "think" it's Rubbermade, but will check.

POST 9Original post

That would be cheaper than Porsche luggage for travelling.

POST 10Original post

Or, you could buy a tape measure. This one is from Costco and fits with room left over. I also have a Sterlite 10 gallon that fits.

POST 11Original post

In my C4S this is the only size that fits. 3"x5" file card box and only one. You are lucky to have a C2!

POST 12Original post

I wouldn't call them 'kayak bags'..whatever, but there are water proof duffle bags that watersport enthusiasts use everyday.........surely they are far more space efficient than hard, 6- sided stuff. Yup, you can get them clear....and obviously flexible.

POST 13Original post

An 18-gallon Rubbermaid Roughneck storage tub fits pretty perfectly in a C2 trunk. It does not use up 100% of the space, but maybe 80% of the main "well" volume, leaving a tiny bit of space on the sides and up above where the stereo amplifier would be. When I go to the track I have an 18-gallon RM tote in the trunk, a 10-gallon RM tote in the front passenger footwell, and a smaller Sterilite case (maybe ~7 gallons?) in each back seat area. Those 4 containers hold everything I need, keeping things out of the weather, and I can load and unload the car in about 1 minute

POST 14 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 15078654

Perfect! Excellent info and just what I was looking for! Great ideas about front and rear seat areas too. It gets better: when I googled the 18 gal Rubbermaid and saw it, I thought, hmm, that looks really familiar. Yes, I've got 2 of those in my basement currently not being used, plus a 20 gallon of a different brand that I'll try as well. I'll still take the car (and the measurements with my tape measure, SoCal911t, wise guy!) to home depot and see what also fits behind the rear seats just for grins. In my GTO, I keep two large plastic tubs in the trunk, under the hat shelf strapped in against the rear seat backs. Inside of each tub, I have room for 4 small tubs. They all stay in nice and neat, and I can divide up stuff to keep it organized. This way, small items like glass fuses or spare spark plugs are easily located, and oil/fluids are in their own container should some leak. etc. I'd like to do something similar with the 911, but hopefully I don't need to carry as many spare parts! Thanks again! https://www.homedepot.com/p/18-Gal-R...0001/302148847

POST 15 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I just got my car back so I tried the plastic bins. The 18 gallon fits well, very snug front to rear, and about 6" left on the sides. And it fills the trunk nicely in terms of height. Then I tried the 20 gallon and it was too snug. So 18 it is.

POST 16Original post

I removed the spare and went with something like this but more OE on the cover. More room and less weight.

POST 18Original post

Quotes source post: 15080051

Yeah that's right! They can put a lot of junk in those frunks!

POST 19Original post

Stow the cab wind deflector in there and you can carry a whole lot less.

POST 20Original post

Yep, here's my track day packing setup. 18-gallon Rubbermaid in the frunk, holding tools, spare fluids, glass cleaner, paper towels, etc: 1 27-quart Sterilite case (roughly 16 x 13 x 12) in each back seat. 1 for spare parts, zip ties, air pump, gloves, etc. (dirty stuff), 1 for headset communicators, cameras, paperwork, etc. (clean stuff): 10-gallon Rubbermaid in the front passenger footwell, holding my travel bag (clothes, laptop, etc.) I buckle my helmet in my passenger seat, and that's it! No loose items rattling around, no mess, everything is easily accessible, and I can pack and unpack the car at the track in a matter of a couple minutes. If it rains at the track I couldn't care less because everything I bring is sitting in the paddock in a weatherproof case. Trailers are for wusses Final tip: A SmartWater bottle is a perfect friction fit between the seat frame and door sill. It will not move under even extreme loads, but you can pull it out with one hand while driving (on the highway, not on track!) Cupholders are also for wusses

POST 21Original post

Milk crate! The large, rectangular-shaped ones. It holds a lot, isn't tapered at the bottom, and is low/narrow enough to leave room for other odd-sized items that don't fit in the crate itself. I have a TT so there is less space to work with than rwd cars have. Needless ss to say, always check clearance before slamming the frunk closed....

POST 22 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I picked up a few smaller containers at home depot. I wanted some black ones that are not see through. I also bought 3 smaller containers that fit next to the big container to keep it snug in the frunk Then I bought medium sized containers for the back seat that are black for $7 each and very sturdy. They can serve as a seat too. 18 gallon rubbermaid Small container fits snugly into corner to hold lose items
