    Just a bit of follow up here...I pulled the passenger side headlight assembly and there it was. I don't know why I was surprised to see the emergency release, but I was...anyway I re-routed the cable thru the tow bolt assy and affixed the line to the front hole cap on the bumper. Its a piece of cake. Also a piece of cake was the engine compartment emergency line under the driver's side tail light. I rerouted that to an area behind the L. rear fender. It always kind of bothered me that in an emergency (like with a dead battery or some other failure where you need to get into the trunk or engine compartment to correct), our friends at Zuffenhausen designed emergency access that was impossible to access in case of an emergency...sort of makes sense...anyway, thank you to those that helped me resolve another Porsche quandry...but, man, do I love this car... :thumbup: Jim

    1999 996 C2 coupe 6 speed w/17inch wheels... Could someone explain what the "N" rating is. I was at Firestone and America's Tires here in Portland last weekend. Employees in both stores said they never heard of a N, N1, N2, N3 rated or coded tire. But they 'assurred' me that they put tires on 100's of P cars up here which really didn't make me feel real comfortable. Any opinions on brand or type for my 99 996 C2 with 17's? Most of my driving is dry surface daytime with some rain esp in winters. Thx... Jim

    Thx Loren... I suspect that number 11 in the diagram is the main cable release because you can feel movement when someone inside the car lifts the trunk release lever. I'll find number 12 release in the diagram when I pull the headlamp assy out tomorrow and re-route that puppy to the front tow hook port...great idea... Many thanks... Jim :thumbup:

    Thanks Loren...I'll check again...do you have any idea what the black cable under the driver's side wheel well that I found might be? Thx... Jim

    Is the emergency trunk release in the passenger's side front wheel well or on the driver's side for my 1999 996 C2? I remember reading a response by Loren a few months back that indicated the passenger's side...but after fishing there, up and around the pull back wheel well cover I can't find it. My Porshe dealer says its under the plastic wheel weel cover on the driver's side but all I can find there is a bicycle "break style" black cable which they say to give a good yank to open the trunk. Before I go pulling any questionable cables can someone direct me... Thanks in advance... Jim
