I would also do a search in the 996 section.

Here is a good diy on a older Porsche. The overall
work is still the same on the newer cars.

I am one of those nuts who added shims in the lower
a-arms to increase the camber more. Yes I go
thru alot of tires.
Paul
-
Your right again!!!
The camber is what help reduce the push I had.

Getting a track alingment will help with the push. Need to
add as much castor as you can. The tires will wear out on the
inside but the car will not push as much.

I saw some dimensions once but they were metric. You
can lite tape it and then stand back about 10 feet.

Removing the side plates first should help
let you see what else to take off.

They peal off real easy. I would
put some painters tape down first
to align the letters.

Trailer lighting is pretty simple. Just
tap into the brake lights. Trailer companies
sell a crimper that crimps the trailer light
and the brake light at the same time. No need
to splice wires.

I think he is talking about part number 18. It looks
more in the shape of a triangle.

It is a San Francisco car. All he can hit is manhole covers
and driveways.
Wonder how many there are in San Francisco?

Your pads look gone.
I would buy new pads and see if they look strange. Most calipers are
held on with two big bolts. Remove the caliper and pads, spread the
opening and install the new pads. You might solve your blue and white
clips once the brakes are removed.

Here is how you remove the door trim.

Look at a close up of the two bumpers. The head lights
are somewhat different.
You would need to buy a new bumper and do
some bodywork to get the bumper to fit.
Even then the parts may not line up just right.
I suggest you buy a car with the lights.
Paul

Somebody did the switch with the rear lights. You need
to buy some module when you buy the rear lights.
Search is your best friend.

I recommend Pagrid blues. They work real good at the track
and they don't cost a fortune. I buy mine at this site.
Here is the do it yourself. The 996 brakes are the same as the 997 brakes.

A note that carrera and carrera S brakes are different. The S brakes are bigger.

I would say about one to two hours labor if he
has worked on Porsche's. You have to remove
the wheels to remove the wheel liners.
