Replaced my old set with a refurbished set last year from a very well known supplier of Porsche parts in the North West (and after weeks of investigating which supplier to go with) and within a few short weeks several rims started to show signs of de-laquering.

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Porsche 996 C4 (GT3 Body) Delivered yesterday! Had a long drive in it... The grip is unbelievable! I used to own a 964 C2, and every time I went high speeds in it I was always worried about having to stand on the brakes, as the back end always wanted to slip out. Not in the 996..! I'll snap some more photos when it stops raining...

POST 2Original post

Welcome GT3★PJJ ! Nice looking car. Another sale for Mr Firmin by the looks of things.

POST 3Original post

Looks very well. More pics please. Health to enjoy.

POST 4Original post

Thanks. have changed name to 'Paul James' - is this OK?

POST 5Original post

Of course it is Paul - you are welcome whatever!

POST 7Original post

...Mr Firmin?! My brother and I are going to join PCGB by the end of this year. Should be fun...

POST 8Original post

i think richard thought you bought from 911 virgin??

POST 9Original post

Got mine from '911 Box' - not sure if you've heard of it...

POST 10Original post

Nice it's virtually identical to mine bar yours is 4 wheel drive, oh and I am not pretending it's a GT3 with that badge at the back lol Oh and yours is a tip I see, you need to get the PSE , sound is awesome. What county do you live in?

POST 11Original post

Lol how did you know its a tip? And its great having that GT3 badge on the back... Everybody stares at it + they're like 'wow how much did that cost?' ... 'erm . . . . 50k' [ ] My 'Check Engine' light has come on - when I gave it some toe it flashed, and now its constantly there. What does this mean?

POST 13Original post

Lambda sensor has gone out of range - usually because it's seen too much fuel in the exhaust. May be indicative of the MAF on the way out.

POST 14Original post

Same way I know it has PSM haha People who know will know it's not a GT3, it's got a rear wiper for a start . I am often near Kent, if you ever want to meet up let me know as mine is identical to yours, you can hear my exhaust and you will def want one

POST 15Original post

"Lol how did you know its a tip? " it was on the website!![ ]

POST 17Original post

Has the PSM light been flashing when you give it some stick in a straight line? That's also an indicator of a MAF on it's way out to lunch. Best bet is to get a diagnostic check done, but as you've only just got the car, take it back for them to look at.

POST 18Original post

Yeah one thing I noticed last night was that the PSM was off. Switched it back on but the light was glowing again this morning. Its under a years warranty, so I've taken it back to the garage.

POST 20Original post

Nice wheels. Black and a Tiptronic - perfect choice [ ]

POST 21Original post

Annoying though, just got it and took a day off of work as I was planning to have a nice long drive in it - but had to take it back to the garage [X(] Hopefully have it back by Friday.

POST 22Original post

POST 23Original post

Highlight the link at the bottom of the page which has 'Direct Link To Image' next to it. 4. Copy it by clicking Ctrl + C. 5. Create a new post here and paste it by clicking Ctrl + V. 6. Add to either side. Like this -

POST 24Original post

POST 25Original post

Did you not like the alloys that were on it already on your first photo??

POST 27Original post

On this forum you have to use . You can also use the Add Image button when entering the post, and copy the URL into the box. If you only want to add one photo to the post, and it is less than 200KB, use the "Click here to upload" link and tick the Embed picture tick box.

POST 28Original post

hi, yes tried that adding image , that doesnt work, if i could find my first ever post on here i could see how i did it but i cant find that either

POST 29Original post

its weird i can see it when i add it using add image function, then when i click ok it disappears

POST 30Original post

The last ones are too common! ...and I prefer the Split Rims that I've got now.

POST 31Original post

You mustn't put a space after the ] or before the [. This is what you did, and that's one reason it doesn't display: . The other reason it won't work is that you have to link to a valid image file with a .jpg or .gif file extension. Also, if the url to the image file shows as a hyperlink, then you need to remove the link by clicking the Remove Link button. When you get it right it looks something like this: This is what the text should look like, but I have substituted () so that you can see it: (image)https://www.porscheclubgb.com/legacy/clientftp/Register/996/memberscars/jammas_911.jpg(/image) To find your first post, do a search and put jamma in the 'By Author' box. Change the time filter to 'Before 1 year', and search. This should give you a list of all your posts.

POST 32Original post

It doesn't look like a gt3 now then at all .lol

POST 34Original post

Yes they do but you have just taken your gt3 ones off Anyway thats mine above (that I can't post pics haha). Done some mods, wheel spacers all round the , 17mm on rears and 8 mm on fronts, makes it squat a bit more. Also have the sports suspension so lowered a little.If you havent got decent head lights lights its good to change those to Hids.Best mod is exhaust though, sounds epic.

POST 37Original post

I think Jamma means you already had Porsche GT2 Alloys on before you swapped them?

POST 39Original post

I dont get this, you bought it with the GT3 split rims and you have changed them to these other wheels now? What are you doing with the GT3 split rims?

POST 40Original post

They need refurbing, but thats not looking good at the moment - so the garage might just scrap them. [ ]

POST 41Original post

Get them back on your car, the look much better than those others IMO

POST 45Original post

GT3 rims - a labour of love! Hours of cleaning and inevitably they will start to de-lacquer and turn white in places. Replaced my old set with a refurbished set last year from a very well known supplier of Porsche parts in the North West (and after weeks of investigating which supplier to go with) and within a few short weeks several rims started to show signs of de-laquering. Received little sympathy and after seeking legal advice am still waiting to get the matter sorted...[ ] But when they're clean and in perfect condition they look(ed) amazing!

POST 46Original post

Having mine done as I type £110 per wheel - stripped - powder coated - re lacquered etc. Will post some pics when done [ ]

POST 47Original post

on subject of wheel refurbs can recommend Mike, a club member and his factory unit is like an operating theatre, spotlessly clean and his work is first class http://www.porscheclubgbforum.com/tm.asp?m=405839

POST 48Original post

Mine done and look like new - note to self 'how to post pics'!
