Quick thanks to this forum for answering various questions I have had over the months I have been looking for a 996.
Last week I brought home a manual arctic silver/graphite grey C4S , with a sunroof delete. I'm pleased as punch with it!
I had a PPI and bore scope done at Brookspeed (Hampshire), which found only a few issues. Mainly they were bits of corrosion to keep an eye on or take care of proactively. The scope came up clean with only some minor marks on cylinders 2 and 6.
I managed to get hold of a 95K example that had had the following work done in the last couple of years: clutch, IMS/RMS (9e), front sus refresh (shocks, rods etc), rads, ac condensers, protector bumper grill, all brake lines replaced, all discs/pads, battery.
I still have much to be getting on with though, including:
Looking forward to the summer

I still have much to be getting on with though, including:
Top Gear exhaust (want to go and listen to mild vs sport one)
Fit a carplay double din head unit. Bose MOST will make this trickier
Fit a low temp thermostat
Fix the squeaky spoiler deployment.
Refurbish headlight glass
Replace interiors bulbs with LEDs
Possibly upgrade front lights with LEDs
Source original graphite grey porsche mats
Refurbish interior (dye carpets back to factory grey)
Refurbish seats (fill cracks and re-dye seats back to factory grey)
Maybe add some interior aluminium bits
Maybe get centre console re-sprayed
Looking forward to the summer
