The only squeak I have is driver door, dealer told me it is normal on convertibles - I still dont think that's a reasonable answer.

put up a poll! I'd vote for the 997.2 - only positives.

Did you order this GTS with the wheel spacers with CL hubs? I was told when I bought my GTS they do not have spacers for CL,,,,,

That is how all GTS come - they have the wider rear like the GT3 RS and come spaced out with 305 wide rears.

Lauren - Can you at least attach the wing diagram off PET for me?

Excellent - this makes me happy.

Do you happen to have a deck-lid assembly on the turbo? Specifically how i can detach the top winglet from the bottom main lid.

Hi Guys,

I'm looking for the engine-lid wiring diagrams for

- 997 Turbo (2010)

- 997.2 Carrera GTS (2012)

From the looks of it the connectors are the same but the pin-layout may not be.

Also, does anyone have the assembly layout of the turbo wing and how the top wing could be removed to be painted?

thanks a bunch

Tekky

I have added all the aero-kit to the front, have you read my other posts and could you please answer the questions?

cheers Lauren - that is great!

One more request I'm hoping you could help me with... If I get a turbo decklid + wing (997) is there a difference between the cab and coup models and since my car is a wide-body it should fit without problems, am I correct to assume that?

Thanks

Tekky

Yes those exact parts - I am ordering new ones to paint them black and would like to know how easily they could be swapped. I would probably order the cheapest parts then have my local body shop take care of the paint and would put them in after.

2012 997 GTS?

color of switch surround?

color of shifter trim?

Hi Lauren,

Hope you are in good health; I need a couple of part numbers and if you have any graphics how they could be taken out and replaced:

- The light switch surround which is a circular piece about 3-4mm thick that goes around the switch assembly on the right side of the steering wheel on the dash (just the outer surround)

- The Shift boot surround which is usually the aluminum piece that matches the cup holder dashboard trim - the piece between the center console and the shift knob leather.

thanks in advance

Tekky

You do not want to "skim" the rim to get rid of the scratch - send it to a professional to fix it properly and rebalance as per Lauren's post above!

I have got none yet, I know it will make me :censored: when that day comes

Tekky

Ladies & Gentlemen,

The eagle has landed. Photos to follow today! 32km on the dash - gotta work on that! :thumbup:

Hi guys,

A friend of mine recently acquired a set of 997 C2 (narrow body) rims in 19" x 11 rears for his 2001 996 TT.

We were told 15mm spacers were needed for rear wheels to fit properly, however after installation the inside of the rear wheels hit. Does anyone know what are the exact or the range of spacers that will work for this fitment?

Again 19" wheels off a 997 C2 (235 35-R19 fronts and 295-30-19 rears)

Thanks in advance

Tekky

Got my VIN# today! :clapping: The machine is on a raft somewhere on the Atlantic. Should see it in a couple of weeks.

Will post pics ASAP.

Hi Tekky,

Congratulations!!! I got my 2011 C2 GTS in April and absolutely LOVE it!!

I was also thinking to add the GT3RS front fender flares...looks way cool!

Plus just ordered the Speedster front lip.

Let me know how you like your car when you get it. Would love to see pictures...

Aloha,

So they can't be 2011 models, they will be 2012 models and last year for the GTS.

Tekky

Definitely go with an OEM short shifter.. nothing will feel/perform the same.

See ESS Auto Couture for your clear bra needs.

I upgraded my 997.1 Carrera 4S to the Sport design front bumper and side skirts that match the 2011 Carrera GTS. I LOVE the new look

of the GTS. Really adds a bit more of an aggressive look. I would also definitely get the "sport shifter". Porsche has come a long way

in the feel and precision with the short shifter kit. WAY better then what they had in the 996. The shorter shifts and precision make

the whole car feel that much more solid and in tune with your inputs.

The GT3 RS front and fender flares are going to look awesome! Nice option. Have you thought about adding spacers to your front wheels,

since the fender flares for the RS were made to work with the 9 inch wide vs 8.5 wheel and 245/35/19 vs 235/35/19 ?

Porsche just announced this week that there is now a 2011 Carrera 4 GTS. Porsche is hitting them out of the ball park lately.

So much awesomeness to chose from. Have you thought about the Carrera 4 GTS ? You can have all wheel drive in your GTS

and possibly skip upgrading your other car... just a thought.

Congratulations! we all envy ya.... in a good way ;^)

You raise some really good points my friend. Wheel spacers, added to the list. 2011 models are complete, there is no further 2011 production, 2012 are staring in May (now) and I believe the 2012 model is the last year of the GTS; so dont really understand when the 4 GTS has or will come out? I certainly was not provided the option between regular and 4 weeks ago I would definitely consider it

Thanks for your comments

Tekky

GT3 Front and fender flares???? I saw the Aero kit but didn't see that option. ?

Good eye!

It is a must for me. IMO makes the front look way more presenting than the original.

Tekky

Tekky.. Sorry.. Early Monday and I can't see too well..:rolleyes:

That's going to be an amazing car. Are you trading in your current 997?

When are you scheduled to take delivery with a July build?

Early September I'm told. Not trading my c2s, may upgrade that to a 997-2 c4s cab instead something I could whip around during winter months?

Tekky

Congrats on the new car Tekky! I would get the factory short shifter for sure. I have it in my Turbo and love it.. That car is going to be beautiful... Now you have that painful wait...:rolleyes:

I didn't see the sport Chrono option.. Is that standard?

All the best,

Phillip

Phillip,

it is not standard, I have it added as an option... you must have missed it "Sport Chrono Plus". and I still have my C2S cab I'll drive till then :)

Tekky

But you have to admit, they know their product:

Paul,

Did you even read MrPorsche87's rant? When did he speak about a door sill issue? lol :clapping:

MrPorsche87,

This is unacceptable! I would think its the glue they used to glue it that made the CF do that in the heat - never the less I have personal experience in dealing with Porsche directly and they are very reasonable. Definitely contact them, better yet send them to this post!

Tekky

The door sill plate gets a lot of damage. It is so easy

to drag your feet when you are trying to get into

the seat fast because of an approaching car.

I would try some real good glue. There is a glue

they sell in Home Depot's in America that is called

Gorilla glue.

Good luck with your door sill.

Paul

you should be okay without it if the battery does not require it.
