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 am looking at buy a 996...what is all this "narrow body/wide body" stuff? it seems like there was a change in 2000...??? is this correct? if so what was changed? i would like to find a white C2 with an aero package, if not i will but a aero kit and add it to the car but i am a little confused as to what has been changed. thanks for any help marc

POST 2Original post

Wide Body refers to the Turbo and C4S Bodys. Wide because the Intercoolers (Turbo) are located outboard the engine, requiring a wider rear body width. The 996 Turbo was introduced in 2001. The C4S was introduced in 2003 as a Turbo-Look style. Enjoy

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Jax, thanks for the input. i understand that part, turbo c4s bodys etc,etc. but what i am refering to in on model years 99-2002 it seems like there was a change to the c2 body with people refering to a "wide body or narrow body". It does not seem as they are speaking about a standard turbo width. it seems as they are speaking about front fender width and front bumper width. is this possible? i know this sounds like a naive question and im sorry, i have been away from P-cars since 98... I used to drive a 97 993tt. now i am just trying to make sure i understand the little differences. thanks
