r/996

Swapped out my original seats for these corbeau rrx white plaid seats. First impression i love them. They look great feel great and hold you in the seat nice around corners. Install was pretty straightforward mounted the brackets to the seats and installed them in the car. These seat also felt WAY lighter than the stock seats i didn’t weigh them but it was very noticeable. The only issue i ran into was swapping over the belt buckle. I swapped over the seatbelt and wiring only for the seatbelt. I took the small connector inside the big one for the old power seats out and mounted it to the seat. Now when i start the car i have an airbag light for both side seat belt buckles as well as the seatbelt light when plugging in the driver seat. I’m wondering if i plugged in in the reverse way because it fits both ways, if anyone’s ran into this problem i would love help but I’ll probably figure it out this weekend.
2000 996.1 C2

I recently heard this distinct knocking noise from the bottom of my car. The car seems to drive fine under spirited driving, but I’m preparing myself for the worst if I have rod knock, spun bearing, or bore scoring.

Thank you for helping me out before I end up taking the car to the shop.

Rebuilt transmission done. Clutch plate, shifter cables, all exterior seals replaced. Few other minor things. Had a very spirited drive last night with friends, I’m so back.

This might be one of the nicest 996s we’ve had roll through Slakker, so it deserved a story of its own. Speed Yellow. Aerokit. Cable throttle. And now going from 3.4L to 4.1L. This one was too good not to document.

Do you track your 996s?

Entered my C4S into the PCA UCR Concours & Show and Shine this past weekend - the show and shine portion - wasn't ready to do the mega deep clean and wanted to learn more about the whole process.

Took first in class!

Super exciting for me - love this car and love sharing it.

Pour one out for me.

Wth has happened in the 996 turbo world? The markets skyrocketing like crazy!!

Ticking noise on start up, car has been sat for 3 weeks’ish, and it had a flat battery, but I had this ticking sound on startup, the car also felt and looked like it was running a little rough, noticeable engine movement and juddering.

Went for a drive, got it to temperature and it runs sweet. No issues and no ticking noise when I got home.

Anything to be worried about?

Ive cracked how to get the oil temp from 996 Turbos!

This is on my Garmin but the mobile app will do the same thing!

I do like this subtle upgrade for the interior of my 2002 Targa!

Great seller BTW!

As title says. Two videos, one of the engine bay while idling cold and one while revving the engine while the engine is warm.

My insurance company has totaled out my 996 after I was hit in LA. Not to fear, I will be fixing it. If anyone has a .1 bumper they are willing to part with, preferably in California, please let me know below and I will send you a message.

250k sold for a white 996tt at auction in Monterey this weekend. Low miles white x50 manual.

All the work is done and she’s back on the ground. Smooth as silk and I’m in love with the short shifter. Took the family for a celebratory twisty run up toward Alice’s.

You don’t need an S, you don’t need a 4, you don’t need a GT3. Porsche is Porsche! I love my 996.2 C2. Such phenomenal cars.
