r/997

I want to convert my 2005 997.1 steering wheel with Tiptronic to a paddle shifter. Anyone done this and what do I need to do. Thanks

Had an opportunity to trade my plain Jane 993 c2 manual coupe for a 2012 GTS RWD manual coupe. Basically the holly grail of streetable 997’s.

I didn’t get to drive the GTS and I couldn’t bring myself to trade the 993. I thought the GTS is still a consumer engine, not Mezger based, not special like an air cooled car.

Anyone here driven both? Did I make a mistake?

Hi Folks - I have a 997.1 turbo cabriolet with stock wheels. When I purchased the car, it was lowered on K&W springs and the ride quality was atrocious in addition to regular scraping. This car is intended to be a comfortable daily driver and useable on challenging Los Angeles road conditions.

Based on feedback online, I installed the Bilstein b16 + the DSC module. The shop installed the parts. raised it to its highest setting and added spacers. Unfortunately, the ride quality is still way too harsh for daily use.

I spoke with DSC and we realized the suspension installed is the B16 PSS10 mechanical system, whereas I should have installed the B16 damptronic which is electronic and connects to the DSC.

I am now getting the system replaced with the B16 damptronic, but before I do so I wanted feedback on if this would be a significant difference / this is the right solution for daily use. A comfortable ride quality is significantly more important to me than canyon carving abilities for this car as I use it daily as my commuter.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm OTP NE near Buford with a 997.2 C2 Cab.

Car has a bad rear passenger window motor (or regular, or track, or something).

I've been meaning to fix it but having trouble finding time to do the work so I'm going to punt and take it someplace.

I usually use Ultra Performance in Winder for repairs I can't do myself but it can be tough to get on their schedule during racing season.

Any suggestions?
