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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi guys! I just bought my 1st Porsche last week. It�s a 2001 C2 Cab. with Tiptronic. It only has 29K miles. It is loaded out with the full leather pkg and Porsche crest on the head rests of the seats and the dashboard is leather. It also has the front and back upgraded wood grain option. The guy just bought 19x8.5 and 19x10 Porsche 3 piece Challenge wheels for it and he also included 3 piece 18 inch upgraded wheels with new tires. I will post pics of that soon. I just ordered the Schnell CAI with drop in K&N Filter and Aluminum Porsche racing pedals. I am looking into a different exhaust but haven�t decided yet. The car is Lapis Blue with dark tan leather. Here are a few pics. I am looking forward to being a part of this site.

POST 2Original post

Congrats on the new car! The wheels and color combo look great.

POST 4Original post

Great ride!!!!! vERY CLEAN! Welcome aboard...enjoy the ride. Best,

POST 6Original post

Do as Phil says, not as he does! Drive it like you stole it!

POST 7Original post

Wayne, I didn't say "drive it," I said "use it" - very different! I "used" mine today, for example. Actually drove it around 10 miles! Are you picking up where Tim left off?

POST 8Original post

Cool! Glad to hear that you took the lady for a spin. I hope that you avoided the thunderstorms - mine stayed in the garage, as I was afraid of getting it wet. As for the Tim comment.... no, just giving you a hard time as usual.

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks guys. Its been a blast to drive. Any suggestions as far as mods would be appreciated. Nothing too crazy though. LOL!!!

POST 10Original post

CONGRATS! I'm loving the rims, welcome aboard! You're going to have a blast in that. You mentioned going for a K&N filter, I'd read some posts on this thread about the problems it causes for the Air Mass Flow sensor. I had to get mine replaced because of the K&N filter. Show more pics!!

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I read about the K&N CAI causing problems also so I went with the Schnell CAI. They sell K&N replacement filters that are like the stock ones that go in the stock airbox you just get a little better flow. The K&N kit you are thinking about had the open cone filter that threw CEL codes and hurt MAF's on 99-2001. I want to see more pics of your 01. What kind of wheels are those and did you lower it? Thanks for the complements everyone. I will post more pics soon. I sold my 350Z Touring to help buy this car and I dont regret it at all! I love it!

POST 13 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

What do you guys think of this exhaust? Competition ZTek Porsche 996 Mandrel Bent F1 Engineered Sport Exhaust S http://zerotek.net/coztpo996f1s.html

POST 14Original post

Sweet! How about some pics of the interior and all that leather & wood?

POST 16 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Will do. I will try today if I get time.

POST 18Original post

Nice wheels...I'm looking for an exhaust too. Let us know which one you decide!

POST 19Original post

Congrats and Welcome to Rennlist. Very nice looking car! I love the Lapis Blue, but I may be slightly biased! Thanks for sharing the pics! As for the mods: 1. Harvest those pumpkins and install some clear side markers. 2. Replace the black "Carrera" emblem with a Silver one. I did that to mine and I like it much better. You can get both of these items from Eric at BumperPlugs.com. BTW - Eric is a Rennlist site sponsor.

POST 20 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks. I heard the CAI will give a deeper tone to the stock exhaust so I am looking forward to that. I will let you know what I go with.

POST 21 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Tim! Thats a sweet ride you have too. I love the Lapis Blue more and more each day.

POST 22Original post

Thanks! See if you can find some stock 3.6L mufflers from one of the guys here (they may give them to you for free) and then spend $60 - $80 and have a muffler shop do the "PSE MK II" mod to the mufflers. Check out this thread about PSE mod. https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...&highlight=PSE

POST 23Original post

Well, this is another recent thread on exhausts: https://rennlist.com/forums/996-forum/355816-exhaust-picks-what-do-you-like.html The PSE and Febspeed are well favored. You will find links to videos in the threads that have the sound of SpiderV6's PSE and my B&Bs. If you do a search you'll find other threads with other sound files in them. Exhaust choise is all about the personal preference you have for how you would like your car to sound. Good luck in selecting!

POST 24 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks guys! Someone let me know if they have 3.6 cans they want to get rid of. I would like to try this mod. Thanks again! This site is great!

POST 25Original post

Hello from a fellow 01 C2 Cabby! Like the rims and...as for exhaust..there are sooo many choices. Just hang tight...go to some meets to hear different ones and look and read around here often. You will learn and know whats good for you in no time. Be patient! welcome!

POST 26 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks. What rims do you have on your C2?

POST 28 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Some quick interior shots with the camera phone. Full Wood trim front and back and full leather with leather dash. Whats cool is the gauges match the leather.

POST 29Original post

It's too bad that B&M dosen't make a short shift kit for the Tip. If they did, I'd tell you to get that one next. Sorry, I couldn't help myself! Obviously, I'm just kidding!

POST 30 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

They do I ordered it yesterday. LOL!!!

POST 31Original post

I have Champion 3 pc wheels on my baby...here is a better shot

POST 35Original post

Congratulations on the purchase, seems to be perfect

POST 36Original post

Having Lapis Blue I will tell you it is a beautiful but soft paint! Expect everything that rubs up against your car to leave very fine scratches in the clear coat. I recommend buying a Porter Cable buffer, make life much nicer!

POST 38Original post

you need some new wheels - those look like discount tire wheels

POST 39Original post

yeah..love the color combo but I am a bit biased

POST 40 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Are you serious? You dont like the 19" Silver Porsche Challenge wheels by Modular? http://hlwcorp.com/

POST 41 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Here are the like new 3 piece 18's that came with the deal. The tires are new also. Do you guys know what this style is called?

POST 43 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Your Billy Boats sound good!

POST 45Original post

What size, width and offsets are the Sport Designs? What tires are on them? What are the tire sizes? Those would look nice on my Lapis Blue! Oh damn, I just remembered, I'm selling my car!

POST 46Original post

Thanks! I love them... as do most others that hear them. It's a distinctive sound.

POST 47 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

18x8 with 225's on the front and 18x10's with 265's on the back. I dont know the offset. Here are some for sale on Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...6771&rd=1&rd=1 Tim, Keep the car!!!

POST 48Original post

Thanks for the info. BTW - the offset in MM and the width in inches are stamped on either side of the valve stem on most OEM wheels.

POST 49 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I just bought some new 3.6 mufflers off of a guy on this site for $240 shipped. He bought the car new and had a new exhaust put on his car before he took delivery. They are off of a C4S. I am going to do the Mark II conversion you told me about. PS What kind of tips do you have on your car? Thanks!

POST 50Original post

I have the X54 Oval Chrome Exhaust Pipes, which were a factory option.

POST 51 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Those look good. Ship them to me before you sell the car. LOL!!!

POST 52Original post

Alpha - man, the body isn't even cold yet and the scavengers are already at work! Would you like me to post a few more pics so you can throw a few more items into your shopping cart?

POST 53 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hell Yeah! Lets part it out! LOL!!!!!

POST 54 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I wish I could get my car to sound like this! SWEET! http://www.dpccars.com/car-videos/01...aust-prank.htm

POST 56 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I got my 3.6 mufflers today off of a C4S. Now time for the Mark II conversion. Thanks Tim for giving me the idea. I will keep you guys posted.

POST 57Original post

serious as dirt what has modular done in motorsport let alone w/ porsche?

POST 58 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Damn! Hell, I dont know? They came with the car and I think they look sweet. LOL!!! Thats awesome! LOL!!!

POST 60 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks buddy. I think they look good too.

POST 61 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ok guys. I just installed my Schnell CAI and added a K&N filter for the box. Here is what you do if you have a TIP car. Go to Pep Boys and buy a Spectre Breather Filter Part # 3992 Fits 8-12mm tubes ($10.00). Install it into the TIP hose and use the clamp provided. Buy some Zip ties to tie down the loose hose and it works great! I could tell a difference in throttle response and the sound was deeper. My MK II mufflers will be put on Monday. Here are pics of the install:
