New Pixar's Car.. is....... 99?
Jim in VA replied to vfxbox's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
cool. what are the rest of the cars?- looks like a Viper, a tow truck and a Plymouth Road runner? I actually spoke to a Disney Rep. today about some cross promotions for the movie and he told me that Porsche is the only manufacture to be promoted by name. The other cars will have a likeness but will not be mentioned by name or have badging. -
I know that most people will tell me not to use the front plate; however, that is not an option. My front plate holder keeps coming off. I have replaced the shims and screw twice and it does not seem to hold. Does anyone have any sugestions for keeping the front plate holder on? :cursing:

Tiptronic Question
Jim in VA replied to donkeyman's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
I have a 996 Tip and had a Boxster Tip and that never happened to me, I do not think it is normal. I would get it checked out...is it still under warranty? -
I have searched the archives and all though there is a lot on exhuast I found very little on Exhausts. Has anyone installed or heard these mufflers in person? I like the sound clips but I know that it will sound different. I appreciate any feedback. :unsure:

02-03 C2 Purchase
Jim in VA replied to contact781's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
Will you get an extra year of warranty with the 03? I would just check to see when they are up. If you got an extra 12 or 18 months it may bring them closer to the same price, in which case resale should also be taken into consideration. -
I am a new member and new 996 owner. I recently sold my 944 and Boxster and just purchased a 2002 996 Cab on Thursday. I had a 300 mile trip home so I can say that I have put some miles on it since I bought it; however, I have not done much since. I plan to autocross this vehilce and I can't wait. I have been going through the owner's manual and a couple of questions came up and I could use some help. 1- It appears that my 17 inch wheels are from a 993. The rears have the proper offset; however, I am concerned about the fronts. They are 17X7.5 with an offset of 65mm. The manual says 17X7 with 50mm. I am not sure how to convert but I do not think that these wheels are correct. No problems that I have seen...they just clears the calipers, not much room. I could not see any spacers either. What do you think? 2-Has anyone had the roll bars pop up from an autocross or DE? If so, is it a big deal or not? Thanks for all your help!
