Doncapecod is your guy. I'm pretty sure you will need to cut the bumper re-enforcement or get one from a TT as it is much narrower.
Well, if you want a 3rd radiator installed you will have most everything off to do it.

Sorry, for the down time and slow response.
Our hosting company is working on the problem that affects a number of websites...
Should be fixed now!

How to retrofit an aerokit wing cup 1. I made the conversion already but the kit didn't come with harness and my soiler light is on all the time. Please email me at dice996c4@omcast.net
Have a look at this thread Spoiler light always on
-
All the plugs that are under the seat should likely be connected. As I recall you plug the two wire connector into the childseat - all others should be plugged in. Either way you will need to get a dealer to turn the airbag light off with a PST2.

Loren which pollen filter do you suggest?
Mdillian3690 I usually buy mine rom Suncoast:
http://e-partssales.com/Merchant2/merchant...egory_Code=POMI
I like the activated charcoal filter because it takes odors out too.
996 571 219 03 Activated charcoal pollen filter.
http://e-partssales.com/Merchant2/merchant...ory_Code=POMIAF
-
Totally welcome. And yes, pollen filter.
Here is what I ordered for my 15K:
996 110 131 52 AIR CLEANER $21
996 107 225 52 OIL FILTER (I think it ends 53 now) $10
900 123 106 30 ALUM SEAL FOR OIL FILTER $.15
996 571 219 03 POLLEN FILTER $40
The oil filter is still 996 107 225 52.
Also, the 996 571 219 03 pollen filter is the activated charcoal filter the plain one is 996 571 219 01.

Of interest to some...
The CDN C2S is wrong, it is actually the US version. The C2 is CDN.
This has been corrected.
-
So I dont go through life not knowing, what is the significance of the offset? TIA
This explains it pretty well...
-
These have been revised as July 27th, 2004 - still preliminary though.
Canadian version is also now available.
You may want to download them again.
-
Try locking it down again then release it again. Make sure you don't move the unlock too far as sometimes that will cause interference.

1. What is a fair price to get them painted / installed for?
2. My 99' is Artic Silver, Does the body/paint shop need to purchase both teh 92U & 92T paints, or are they the same thing, just with differnet part numbers?
1. Make sure you find someone that knows how to paint plastics and will get the sideskirt tight on the body panel.
2. Your paint is likely 92U, which is water based paint (92T is conventional oil base). Just check the option sticker under the front hood or in your owners manual.
-
Well it's either at the door handle (see below) items 8 and/or 2. Or, it is in the inner door release (bowden cable).
-
Black plastic. Is a bezel or any other hardware needed?
Part number as above. That's all you need.
-
What color? Plastic or leather?
996 552 253 01 01C Shelf (Satin Black)
996 552 994 01 xxx Shelf (replace xxx with appropriate leather color code)

I called about my seats and they told me they never heard of the recall either. I can't seem to get the real scoop on the seats. I purchased my car late Nov. from Niello, and I think that it was a early 2003 build.
I think I posted this before but here it is again. Call either number and give them your VIN.

Hi Loren,
yesterday my dealer installed the PSE on my car - and I recognized the problems listed in this task. In Germany the PSE is turned off between 50 and 70 km/h. The feeling while auto turn off was not very fine.
With your description it seems very easy to disable the speedometer signal. But before I start to modify the car, please let me know if the doing is the same for all models.
My car, 996 C2, was build 10.2002 but it is model 2001 with 3,4l and 300 HP.
Can I disable the speedometer signal for my car in the way of your description ?
Thanks
Frank
Yes, it's the same for all model years. Only the relay has changed over the years.

You've got mail....

Could be either... put the stock filter back on then reset the fault and see if it comes back. If not, then it's something in the EVO...
-
My money says intake air leak...

Coupe or Cab?
-
On the 18's the rear offset should be 65 mm (w/o spacers) and 52 mm (w/o spacers on the front). Some wheels will work with the right spacers and some won't.
Likely worth a call to Wheel Enhancement for 3rd party wheels. They know Porsches and what will and won't fit.
-
What wheel diameter? 16, 17 or 18 inch?
-
You've got mail...

The top and plastic rear window have to be ordered separately. A black top for a MY00 Cab is 996 561 915 01 A10 and the rear window is 996 561 111 00. You will also need 993 561 959 00 Slide.
I have only seen them do this once but it was a very involve replacement procedure where they stretch the top on the car (for several hours) - then seal in the new plastic using a special device to hold the window in the frame and (I believe heats it) until it is sealed.
Best OBD tool to read the CEL codes and clear out?
in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)

Check out this thread.
I read the codes and turned off ToolPants CEL a couple weeks ago with this software. :lol:
