    Nope, the rubber mat is 996 552 596 00. You can find more discussion here

    The Carrera Service Manuals always have included the GT3 (Mk 1) even though the original car was not sold in the US. The MY04 GT3 information is just starting to show up in the Carrera Service Manuals. I think the first supplement with MY04 GT3 is supplement 75 so make sure you get all the latest supplements (through 80 if possible). You will likely need to buy supplements ($8-10 each) as they add more MY04 GT3 information. So, you want to order WKD-483-721.

    You've got mail...

    Same as above but you will need different wheel carriers. Master cylinder should be okay. LOL... if it were a C4S I think this would be easy (TT running gear).

    It appears as though every major part of the MOST system has it's own "control module" for communication with the CAN bus of the instrument cluster. DME, etc. For instance, the PCMII will shut itself down if the VIN in the instrument cluster does not match it's stored information within 30 seconds. My guess is that the radio and CD changer (as well as the other MOST components do the same.) Pretty slick... I guess. ;)
  7. Loren
    All the part numbers look correct. The PCMII main unit is the newest part number available (there have already been 3 versions). Perhaps the hardest part is coding all the options in the PST2? Be sure and test ALL the features before you leave...
  8. Loren
    What is the kit part number? What options do you have in your car already? (CD Changer?, Amp?, Bose or Harman Sound?, Telephone?) There was supposed to be a TSB instruction for retrofitting the PCMII but no one I know has seen it yet. I do have several hundred pages (368 to be exact) of diagnostic and troubleshooting info. This is pretty much all fiber optic so it's almost plug 'n play. You will still need a dealer with a PST2 to activate the additional components (once they are installed). For what you likely paid (a bunch) I would press the dealer very hard for some install info. We are happy to help as best we can... :D
  9. Loren
    Do you want the (11 page) installation TSB?
  10. Loren
    The 996 switch has not changed since 99. The switch cover has. It went to mat black in MY02. Or... are you saying the socket it plugs into is different?

    It depends on what options you have. Some use the MOST bus extensively and some do not. Besides the CDR 23 what options does your car have? telephone? PCM2? Bose Sound? Harman Sound? CD Changer? Amp? If you don't know then post your M option codes.
  13. Loren
    I don't know if Karl has done this yet on his new GT3 or not... hopefully he will respond also. I think you will need to treat the Traffic Pro like a 3rd party radio. That is, you (actually your dealer) will need to tell your MOST bus controller that you have no radio (no radio on the MOST bus). Then you will need to wire the radio as normal to the speakers etc. If your current system has an amp or Bose/Harmon sound system that is on the MOST bus there may need to be other changes - like wiring these into the radio and turning them off in the MOST controller.

    1. Removing instrument cluster a. Disconnect the battery and cover terminal or battery. b. Switch on the hazard warning light switch (button comes out). On the sides of the button, there are small openings that project beyond the dashboard insert. c. Insert two small screwdrivers into the openings and pull off the ... button A towards the front. d. Unclip the collar from the dashboard insert. The hazard warning light switch B is held in the dashboard insert by two locking hooks. e. Press the right locking hook towards the switch, grip the button holder with a pair of pliers and pull out the switch towards the front. f. Undo 5.0 x 30 Torx screw on the dashboard insert. g. Pull off plug on the left side and undo the 5.0 x 30 Torx screw. h. Unclip the dashboard insert and disconnect the electrical plug connections. i. Detach the instrument cluster from the dashboard insert and remove it. (Jeff's pic) Then release the cluster from the back of the housing. 2. Don't work about the clip in the vent unless you want to remove it too. (Jeff's pic)

    According to the parts list calipers - yes, rotors - no.

    Well, if you wanted to go with the Mk1 GT3 brakes there are kits available for around $4000 (US) uninstalled. The kits include front & rear red calipers, 13" rotors, OEM brake pads (you could always use Pagids), wheel carriers, adapters, hubs, shims and the rest of the nuts and bolts hardware. If you want the MY04 GT3 or GT2 (the GT2 and new GT3 share the same brakes) then you first have to decide on cast iron or ceramics. The ceramics are around $11,000 (without the wheel carriers, adapters or hubs). Maybe Gert can get a better price? I don't know of anyone offering a cast iron GT3/GT2 brake upgrade kit (yet). But I would guess it to be in the $5-6000 range. Again you will need adapters, wheel carriers, etc., etc.. If you want the cast iron TT brakes (same as above you'll need adapters, wheel carriers, etc.) they a should be about $4-5000. If someone knows of better pricing please say so... One more thing... since your car is an 03 the master cylinder and ABS should both work fine with the larger brakes -- this may not be true for older cars.

    The ones that are shaped like a switch are part number: 986 613 425 00 A01 Those will be gloss black to match your interior. MY02 and newer cars got a mat black finish.
  18. Loren
    I have the parts diagrams for an 89 Speedster but no instructions. Let me know if you want the parts diagrams.

    It's about 900K. I sent it to your private email address.

    Congrats to Rob in WA for having the first Featured Porsche of the Month in the Garage. Check out his car and all the cars in the Garage! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
  22. Loren
    Enjoy... you can always use the search feature. It works pretty well.
  23. Loren
    Interesting.... software bug :rolleyes:
  24. Loren
    2. I don't think anyone makes a harness -- I think they are all custom (not that many 996s around). Most aftermarket radios will plug and play. If you want an amp, larger speakers, DVD or anything else it will likely be custom from the ground up. Much easier on MY02 and older cars before the MOST bus stuff. 3. You will need to tape the alarm wire from the stock radio since your aftermarket radio won't have the same feature. This will not hurt anything -- just keep the alarm from chirping (open zone).
  25. Loren
    There isn't a DIY per se. You will need some special tools like a spring compressor and lower ball joint tool (pulling tool not a fork tool). This is about a 5-8 hour job for even for folks that know what they are doing -- and you will still need an alignment at the end. If you've got the tools and want to tackle this let me know and I'll see if I can find other tips.
