Pretty obnoxious and I did not notice it on the test drive.
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.

It's been 10 years since I sold my last Porsche, and I'm finally getting back into one today! I am picking up my '99 coupe this afternoon in Minneapolis. I'll have a nice 3 hour drive home, I can't wait. I was the guy who a few weeks ago posted about the flood damage, but that car sold. I found a better one the day I found out the other sold. Thanks to whoever it was that directed me to Carsoup.com. That is where I found the beaut. Black on Black. Sport suspension and sport seats. Fabspeed exhaust. It is exactly what I was looking for. I'll post some pics when I get back - as soon as I figure out how.
I directed you to carsoup. Which one did you pick-up? The blue with fabspeed or the other one?
Congratulations by the way! Take 61 south and then cross at Winona, nice drive but adds a few hours.
Well, I'm back. What a car. I had a blast. What made it more fun is that my Dad gave me a ride to Minneapolis in his 997 Cabriolet, so we sorta raced home. 2 black 911's cruisin down 94. Great fun.
However, we stopped for dinner half way home and I noticed a creaking in the steering when parking. Pretty obnoxious and I did not notice it on the test drive. I just had it out again and it is still doing it. Power steering fuid low maybe. Creaks mostly when wheel is on center and diminishes the more you turn. Any ideas (I need a new keyboard. My question mark doesn't work!!!!)
Also, how the heck do you post pics
Here she is. Hopefully I posted it correctly. Just figuring this stuff out. These pics are from the owner, I haven't taken any myself yet. Sport suspension, sport seats, Fabspeed exhaust, aluminum trim, white gauges, 18's. I think that's about it... Absolutely love it!
Vin - I paid 31,500. 46k miles. Perfect condition.
As far as mods go, what's left? It's already lowered, has the Fabspeed exhaust and sport suspension with wheel spacers. I prefer the fastback to any type of wing. I just have to make a nice signature pic for my posts, that's about it!
I thought about painting the calipers - I saw the post on that earlier. Beautiful results with the DIY kit. I don't think 19's will fit with the lowered suspension.
Any other ideas?
Ahem.
< Tim clears his threat >
Mods??? Did someone ask for ideas for mods??
Well, here is a good "starter" list. You didn't give us much detail on the interior of the car so some of the following things may already be done.
o Brushed Aluminum “Carrera” logo.
o B&M Short Shifter.
o Aluminum Gauge Rings.
o Aluminum Pedals.
o Upper Storage Tray.
o Spoiler Switch installed in Horseshoe.
o Garage Door Opener Switch installed in Horseshoe.
o Paint the Brake Calipers Red.
o Paint "top hats" Silver.
o Increase your remote key fob range with the antenna DYI.
o Install MK I side skirts.
o Three spoke steering wheel.
o "Amberectomy" on headlights.
If you are not sure how to do some of these mods, let us know, we can point you to some DIY instructions.
Let us know when you get these finished and we'll give you some more ideas.
A lof of people run 19's with a lowered suspension without rubbing. It's more of a question of:
type of suspension,
street vs. track
the quality of your roads and how rough of a ride you're willing to tolerate
With proper offsets and tire sizes you could loose the spacers.
Would add SSK ASAP and paint the calipers red.
Good luck with the car.
nice mod ideas. I already have the 3-spoke wheel. Aluminum trim, but not the gauges - that would be a very nice touch. I was also considering the alum pedals too. I saw the earlier post on the group buy. Where is the best place to get the ones with the Porsche logo.
What is the upper storage tray, and what is the horseshoe. I have a spoiler switch on the footrest, figured that was standard. Garage door opener would be nice too.
I'm guessing if I search hard enough I'll find posts on just about everyone of these mods. When I get to that point, I'll consult you experts.
Alum. Pedals with Porsche logo - these pop up on Ebay from time to time.
Upper storage tray replaces the CD holder - see 1st pic.
Horseshoe holds the switches and surrounds the heat/ac/radio units. Spoiler Switch and Garage Door Opener switches are the top two buttons on the left of the horseshoe shown in the 2nd pic.
SSK = Short SHifter Kit. Most have goten the B&M SSK available from Eric at BumperPlugs.com
Speaking of BumperPlugs, I forgot to mention those. If you have the square holes in your front bumper cover, get a set of Bumper Plugs and a Door Plug from Eric. The door plug fits in the driver door key hole.
