Hi

A friends similar car (1998 C4 996) locks itself when he pulls away. He hates it & wants it changed but I like it. As mine does not do it - is there a DIY way to do this ?

Thanks

Ro.

I was wondering if anyone knew if the 996 C2 (mine is a 1998 car) rear suspension has drop links ?

I was getting a knocking sound from the front going over rough roads & this was traced to the front drop links that were replaced - probloem solved.

Now I am getting a very similar sound from the rear - a kind of thumping / knocking sound exactly the same as before.

So maybe rear drop links need doing too ? Wasn't sure if the rears had them. car is 38k miles so I am not that annoyed as these things need doing at this mileage I guess.

Cheers dude

I might have a pair of clear front headlights for sale soon. They were bought for my 996 but look identical to the clears I had on my Boxster before.

I know they are different product codes but will they fit a Boxster.

It would help if they fitted a Boxster as it would open up the potential buyers.

Thanks for any info.

I called Europorscha up a couple of weeks ago & they said that the price was a mistake. I have found OPC prices (with my PCGB membership 10% discount) are similar to what the specialists are asking.

The cheapest price new I can get one (just the hardware) for is around £900 from an OPC.

I have been offered one for £600 plus VAT (used) which is an option.

I would get it fitted by a specialist - the one local to me is very good & their labour rate is less than half the OPC's.

OPC's also will not agree to fit it without the wiring in & button on dashboard, specialists are happy to fit just the boxes & fix them open - which is what I want.

I had 8.5 x 18's & 10 x 18's on my 996 before I changed to carrera alloys.

So fronts were bigger that yours & no problems.

My rears are a little smaller than the ones you want to fit - all I can say is that 10 x 18's fitted fine with no issues - so I would think 11 x 18's you would need clarity on.

Hiya

In my quest for a Porsche Sports Exhaust I was offered some GT3 back boxes.

Would these back boxes make a similar sound to a PSE ?

If it sounded the same it would widen my search as a PSE is proving very difficult to find.

Anyone heard a C2 with GT3 back boxes on ?

My car is a 1998 C2 by the way.

Thanks for any help.

I heard of a place that maybe sells these tips to fit pre 02 cars.

http://www.chiptuningusa.com I think

Go to the SpeedART link.

If you contact them & they do then let me know - I would be interested in these tips for my 99 C2
