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.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ed is a long time RL member from back in 02'. He was bumped off track about 3 years ago suffering some minor rear end damage and hasn't posted or repaired the car since. He finally decided to sell and I was lucky enough to buy it. Ed's the original owner of this 03' sunroof delete 996 with the X51 option. It shipped from NY today so I'll have it in 10 days or so. I hope to have it running within a month...

POST 2Original post

Sunroof delete X51? Hell yes! That's about as close as you can get to a GT3 without actually buying a GT3. Good find!

POST 3Original post

The price was attractive, but the state of the wiring in the cabin was daunting. Will you be doing the refurb work yourself?

POST 4Original post

Very nice! what is the significance of the sunroof delete vs a regular coupe? Is it a weight thing?

POST 5Original post

Quotes source post: 11422372

Mostly a weight thing for most people (the sunroof and associated hardware weighs about 40 pounds). For me, it's a headroom thing because I'm 6'4".

POST 6Original post

Congrats! Didn't your motor blow recently? You don't need a rear bumper anyways if you're fast and don't have amateurs following you. Track marshals and tech inspections are another story though...

POST 7Original post

I look forward to reading about this one. Congratulations

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 11422338

I have a electrical genius friend who's very competent with paring down P-car harnesses and has done 5-6 996' including my 99' (see photo). We took about 40lbs of wiring, and another 20lbs of leather dash and gauge cluster out of my car and will do the same with this car....

POST 9Original post

Very Nice JR. Good luck!

POST 10Original post

Good luck, your bid trumped mine on it. It looked like a great car and with some work it will be very competitive. Keep us posted on the build out

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I expected it to go higher maybe into the 20's. I suspect the wiring scared off many buyers. It's going to take some serious work but we'll get it running....
