In this model "in theory" Porsche didn't allow optional sport suspension due to the potential problems with the glass roof misalignment because of the stiffer setting of sport

Suggestion · Original poster
We became enamored with the targa platform and test drove one locally.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

My wife and I purchased a 99 cabriolet this fall. Since then we have become obsessed and fallen in love with the 911, and the 996 in particular.
We became enamored with the targa platform and test drove one locally.
A rennlister found me and we eventually worked out a purchase of his 2003 midnight blue metallic Targa. This was a distance sale, and took a bit to finalize, but the car made its way from Ohio to Oregon yesterday.
This car is amazing- full leather, leather wrapped dash, deviating carpet, aluminum ebrake, 997 shifter, H&R lowering springs on bilsteins, and the list goes on. Fair to say this is a one of a kind car. Only 42,000 miles on it, but it�s begging to be driven. We are in love.
Congrats, Matt.
It's always great to send a cherished 911 to a new caretaker. It's even better when they are good people. I hope you guys have many smiles and many more miles than I put on it.
For other Rennlisters:
While it was a long distance sale. both parties were honest and fair with all aspects of the transaction, w both being Rennlist members.
Best of luck,
Mike
Congrats!
Nice car!!!
Which suspension does it have installed?
In this model "in theory" Porsche didn't allow optional sport suspension due to the potential problems with the glass roof misalignment because of the stiffer setting of sport
shock absorbers
I don�t think so. This has billstein shocks and H&R Lowering springs. It drives excellent and less shifting and interior noise than my cab with a hard top.
Congrats on joining the 996.2 Targa club. I love seeing the Targas and what options some of them have. I see yours is almost optioned like mine with no PMS but with heated seats and headlite washers. I am hoping to do a retro fit in the future for heated seats. I bought mine as I wanted the best of both coupe and cab, but with a more funcationality with the hatchback....I do have creaks on the Targa structure, but thats the charm of it. Mine is a daily driver and that hatchback works perfectly for me
This 996.2 Targa had B8 Bilsteins w/ H&R Sport springs (-1.25") , w/ new supporting parts. H&R Rear Adjustable Bar. If I recall, 15mm front 17mm rear EPC Wheels spacers push wheels to edge. Cliff side view was my actual Photo wAi enhancement ) It was aligned by Bill Brausnick at his Performance Alignment, Cin, OH. (Knows Race, Porsche's) Coated Zimmerman Rotors on all 4 corners w Akebono Pads. Stock 18" Conti.Contacts on 5 spoke BBS . Someone mentioned no PSM, it has it. I don't recommend 911 w/o it ) Car is very unique in color w/ flop on visual and Draped Graphite Grey leather interior w/ Blue deviating carpet. Most of interior plastic redone w Pelt of GG leather from P dealership.I added Turbo Instrument Hood leather binacle , and Full Leather Door cards, and replaced lot of bit parts , Dash Trim Horseshoe, Console, etc. w/ a Aluma Look option that flaked from original 03 soft touch GG/black color on parts. ) This car handles so much better than my 996 Turbo. Balanced. tight, light, taught, stops, fast and every mile was enjoyable.
