High,
I guess i'll start w/ the real question; should the rear spoiler have any play when extended? when i put a finger on each side of mine and push it twards the front of the car lightly it moves foward about a 1/16th of an inch, but slightly pushing down on it doesnt move it, when retracted it has no play.
Now for the stupid; does anyone know the total number of parts it takes to assemble a Carrera 2? don't know why but I wondered how many parts are in there a couple of times, dont know why just have. Please DO NOT disassemble ur car and count them, its not that important!

ps. feel free to let me know how stupid a question that is.... thanx

You need to be more specific. Are screws, nuts, bolts and washers separate parts or part of the part they hold on? Is a dash guage one part, or all the parts that make it up?

High,
See my wife is right!, she claims monkeys are smarter!, I can't even ask a stupid question right! But thats a good question to answer a stupid question Tom! any takers????

John Miles

Sensible Answer. Yes, I have play too. 1/6th is nothing.

Stupid Answer. 7,642

John, that's only for a 90 C-4. My friend has a 92 C-2, and we just finished counting, and it has 7,492 parts

Hey Guys,
I am sorry that is for the USA only versions and the RHD UK versions. We have 7,382 parts on a Factory Spec C2 and 7,461 parts on a Factory Spec C4. Excluding option numbers XYZ but including standard options normally installed for Europe,
Ciao,

911C4 (with too many moving parts)

Another stupid question! "Where" are you counting? Is there a list of all parts the cars are made up from? If so, where can i find it? Number of parts in a 1991 Turbo?

/Patrik
965-91

Patrick,

The 1991 Turbo had 8176 parts, you need the shop manual to count them all, takes a long time!

Also a piece of advice, don't believe everything you read!

Christer

Riccardo - which 1991 Turbo version are you talking about? Between Aug and Oct 1991 there was another version with 8179 parts called the Turbo 2 A. The 3 additional parts were a large fan, an electric motor and a one-piece inflatable rubber skirt. This model was particularly popular in the Florida Keys area for hunting alligators!

Hi GeoC2cab,

Actually not a stupid question....in Singapore, cars are subject to very very high import taxes. Interestingly, car parts are not subject to these taxes (as long as they are not fixed on a car when imported)......I wonder how much cheaper it would be to buy the parts instead!
(of course not a practical possibility because of the registration rules here!)

Hello

Couldn´t fin it but Porsche said the 993 is assembled from nearly 40 000 parts.

Modern cars with more integratet parts maybe have a lower rate.

Anyway nice puzzeling.
