Its the fuel filler neck. Same part causing your fuel stop issue

GBX

Awesome. Thanks. Glad it'll be a one part fix for both. Is this a big/expensive job?

Rocket Rob

Not difficult job. Took me about 10-15 minutes to do myself. Note, you will need very large snap ring pliers. Don't remember the part cost though. I would guess its around $100 or less.

Hey guys. Happy holidays!

Will these cup 1's fit my C4. Im reading that they do from various research but I'm confused how a factory wheel for a wide body car fit a narrow body car:

17x7 fronts and 17x9 rears, both with ET55 offset. Porsche part numbers are p/n 965.362.124.00 and p/n 965.362.128.00 with 205/50zr17 and 255/45zr17 respectively.

Thanks!

Yup these will fit fine, although you may want some small shims to fill the arches nicely. Fronts will want 215 & rears 255 width tyres.

Cheers,

GBX

Thanks guy.

Here's the next thing I've been debating. My car is original paint but has chips on many panels. Getting a fill detail soon and the detailer suggested touching up those chips as opposed to leaving them be. Touching up will protect the body but never looks great. What have you guys done?

It all depends how the touch ups are done... Here's a great video by Larry,

Loving that spring time is here!! Just put on a set of cup 1's!! Pics to follow soon. Next is a "small" audio upgrade since my oem speakers are shot.

Keep going back and forth on sound damping. Doors and rear deck or just one or the other. What do you guys think? Don't want to lose that aircooled sound in the cabin but thinking a bit of damping couldn't hurt and would def help audio wise. And would prob make a future cat delete and cup pipe more bearable.

The proper way to enjoy these cars is to get a cat/muffler bypass and forget that the car even has a radio. The joy of the air cooled cars is the sound that comes from the rear of the car especially above 5k rpms.

GBX

Absolutely, but it's always nice to have some tunes!!

Anyone else have an opinion on dynamatting and where?

HoBoJoe

Hopefully someone who has done it will come along shortly, I recall a stereo install post where the member used dynamat.

I would do the doors first as I think they would be easier than the rear of the car. Doing the rear deck/back seat area will be difficult and mostly cut out on the mechanical sounds of the car. Overall these cars aren't made like the new stuff, I miss how noisey my 964 was.

Cup 1's on! Full restoration detail in about 2 weeks....gotta get more photos then

Streetdaddy

To dynamat the rear area you will need to rip off all the factory soundproofing. A big job.
What i did was cut out a piece of mlv and place it over the soundproofing.
When i redid my carpet they put dynamat over the sp. NOT the way it was intended. Read soundproofingshowdown for reasons/tips.
I will be doing my doors this spring.
