Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored.

Ferd, looks great!
For those of you who are not familiar with Mooty, let me put his "parts collection" in perspective. Mooty has had more 996/997 stuff than Ed ever DREAMED of having!
Oh yeah, I almost forgot..... and Mooty's parts fit too!
Its very light.... maybe 2lbs for the tray and whatever the tools weigh with a can of porsche fix a flat and a compressor. My OEM compressor died and was on the market for a compressor, then this tray came along. I always wanted to get rid of that spare.... it prob @40+lbs. So I would say 30+lbs of weight reduction easily....
That's a great weight reduction in the front...but will you encourage the front end to become too light as opposed to reducing rear weight, or is 40lbs negitiable? I like the fit and looks of the tray.
alot of people get rid of the spare.... the 997 dont have a spare. 40lbs of reduction is really not that much from the overall weight of the car. However, trying to reduce 30+lbs is huge weight reduction in these cars.... look at the battery, expensive for 20+lbs reduction. Gt3 seats.... 60+lbs.... etc. This mod is almost free w/o the pretty tray.
glad you liked it.
speaking of parts, i still have some
996gt3 oem coil over (shocks and springs) $1500 (14,000 miles, no leak)
96gt3 rear deck and wing (silver, zero damage) $2500
I was laughing a couple times yesterday, this one and the one with the "headlights" (I have to go back and find that once I get my PC at home fixed up... hard to see on the blackberry and NO WAY I am opening those kinda posts at work
)
Found it in the GT3 section of my PET program. The part number is 996.721.163.90, it is called a "foam Tray." The list is $98.12 and Porscheeomparts.com has it for $75.58. They are usually the same as Sunset and Suncoast but have an on-line look-up that is helpful.
Tempting. I have the spare and then an amp and crossovers that I have never permanently mounted. With a C4 the gas tank and drive mechanism takes up a lot of trunk space. If I eliminated the spare and used this I could then build a shelf to fit above it for the amp and crossovers, and still have more space in the trunk. In ten years of having my 996 I have never used the spare. Fix a flat and the pump would probably do it.
