Welcome and be prepared to spend some money :)

Interesting handle you have Thanatos69 - Death69?

While I was detailing my car this weekend I noticed one of my rims, Carrera 5 Spokes, was loosing its clear coat in some parts. At the same time I noticed one other was deveoping hair line cracks in the clear coat

The rims have never been hit and nor do they have any curb rash. Anyone ever experienced this before and I assume this is easily rectifiable.

I was originally thinking of putting the GT3 bumper on my car but have since thought against it. Hence the change to the Turbo/C4S/40th front bumper.

I know it is possible to install it but what parts does one need to get it installed on a C2 narrow body. Are the mounting points exactly the same for all cars. The 40th is virtually a C2 does that mean the bumper will simply change over?

Also what parts and part numbers are required for this process?

Thanks in advance

Just before I took delivery of my 02 Cab, I had seen another cab with a spoiler that looked exactly like the Aerokit Cup I rear spoiler. The main difference was it was slightly smaller to allow for the retraction of the storage cover for the top.

I know it exists because someone else has just requested the same spoiler on rennlist and I know I wasn't imagining things. Does anyone know part numbers ?

I also know it was an original Porsche part because it was on a pre delivery vehicle at PCM. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

The toyota stalks are actually better ;)

I live in Burwood East but I have a number of clients in Richmond so I am there constantly.

Jinster,

I just did something similar to my 996 and did it through Weltmeister in Richmond. Give them a call if you want to drop the 986. I think if you want to drop it by 20mm they are doing the change over for about $1200 I think. They are using H&R springs from memory.

I went for the complete PSS9 setup on my car though. I bought the gear through Gert at Carnewall too. Also keep in mind if you want to stay stock the PCM offer is not that bad when you consider what they charge for the install. I paid $1400 for the PSS9 installation but that did require a corner balance. We pay more for goods and services in Australia as there are not that many shops that deal with Porsche out here

Yes the reverse is slightly more notchy but this requires brute strength to push left then finally up. I can barely get it into gear as it is so I cannot see how my wife will. It is going back tomorrow for some fine tuning.

With respect to the dead pedal, I have a LHD dead pedal just need to pull my finger out and get it machined. I was hoping my wife could do it (she is an engineer at Holden (GM for the yanks :) ) but no luck.

Thanks for your kind words on the interior

After much time and effort of confirming rear centre console part numbers and returning incorrect parts the interior is finally finished.

Apart from the Aluminium look interior change I also had the Porsche Short Shift kit installed. All gears from 1st through to 6th are fine, reverse on the other hand is a nightmare. Need to take the car back tomorrow for some minor adjustments. I can barely engage reverse and my wife has no chance. Not sure what is causing it but I am certain it will be sorted out tomorrow.

I wouldn't be too concerned about Ben being a plant. He is a true car enthusiast. Apart from that what would he have to gain from providing false information. I am sure if you approached him he will give you all the info you require all the good and bad things about the SC kit. Also why hold onto the SC when you are receiving delivery of a CGT?

As a matter of interest what does it sell for?

The site was off-line earlier it should be up now - I was just on there

Have a search on the 6speedonline.com forum there are a number of the guys there that made the jump.

Fantastic! Thanks for the information!

I can now safely order the parts and not fear it will be the wrong stuff.

Thanks once again to you all!

Ok then if the part number represents the "new" colour in sport silver and is a soft touch. How does it compare to the following part numbers in colour?

000 044 802 22 - Instrument Surround

000 044 802 18 - Door Trim

Both of these pieces have been purchased in the last 2 months

I have these pieces in the car already. And to be honest these pieces dont have an arctic look about them at all. From memory arctic silver has a slight bronze tinge through the paint? My 993 did anyway.

Sorry to be a pain just dont want to get the wrong item

Loren,

Is there a difference between the 02 and 03 rear centre consoles?

I have been given the following as the "new" part number for the rear centre console kit in Aluminium Look can someone please confirm its validity please:

Part Number: 986 552 995 09 v03

Thanks!

Just noticed it is the same part number I was given last time with the only difference being the V03 in the end sorry about the new thread - how does one delete such errors

Definately worth the purchase - I use mine all the time.

It also amazes me that the equipment list is different from country to country on such items. In Australia it comes as standard equipment.

I must admit I left them on. It was easier to make the new holes on the clutch and brake pedal too. The grid lines assisted me in leveling the new pedals and also the drill did not slip when making the new holes ;)

I have purchased through Brandywine a number of times in the past. I have dropped Justin Lane an email and waiting for a response.

I know a guy did supercharge his boxster in Oz and his engine did grenade twice. Now what does that mean I am not sure?

I am interested in buying a SSK and was wondering where I could get either the Porsche or the B&M at a good price.

I know that the Porsche kit is a rebadged B&M but I think my local P-Dealer will not like the B&M kit. At the same time though I am not going to pay a ridiculous price for the Porsche kit (US$827 in Oz installed)

Am I crazy to expect to be able to buy the kit for about US$450?

My car came with a card for the airbag info :) All I needed to do was remove the card from the visor. Im surprised it is stuck on the visor in the US. Try looking on carnewal.com for prices on new visors.

That is what I am hoping to achieve Tool Pants. I will perform the large piece first and then look at replacing the other 2 smaller pieces. Depending on how adventurous I am feeling I might even do it myself.

Once again thanks to all and their helpful information

Thanks for the info Loren. Doesnt look too hard just needed to know about any cables that might need disconnecting, and sure enough there is.
