Betcha didn't know that owners of 95 993s had IQs which exceeded that of their 96-98 brethren

Yes, and on average its slightly lower than the 964 owners who are mostly MENSA members. Although like their cars they like to stay low-key about it so many won't own up to it.

Sorry....Just a fact.

Correct. 17" Cup II's. Wheels are the same as on the 17"s on the NB. No spacers in front, 31mm spacers in the rear. Many countries (Like Sweden for one) had all C2S's delivered with the 18" hollows as standard but in most countries the Cup II's was the no cost option.

Correct. Havn't seen this on any other model in person. It's not perforated but it has some kind of unique structure to it (the black leather). Can't really describe it with my limited english vocabulary. This kind of leather also streches out onto the door panels.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

i'm kinda disappointed that there have not been more replies to this thread.


my addition, probably true to most P cars as my wife's 06 cayman does the same thing

1. if you toggle the turn signal stalk to L or R after turning the ign key off, the corresponding "parking" lights illuminate.
I've never seen anyone in the US use this feature (except TJ90). He tells me that it's common in Euro to indicate that...............
a. you're only parked there for a short time
or
b. don't hit me, i know it's dark out
or
c. ??????????????

careful you don't leave it on too long, or your battery will go flat.

My question regarding your #1 above.

I'm going to do Pollen filter replace. hood strut replace and change wiper parking to right side sometime soon.

i was going to fillow this DIY from Robin's site;

Do you know of another technique?

True. Remember the guy who sold his 964 and bought a 993, thereby raising the average I.Q. of both groups??????

Craig, if you go to Great Britain / Europe The secondary/terciary(sp?) roads are much narrower, also most folks don't have garages so they have to park on these narrow streets. You'll drive through many of these small hamlets and because there are cars parked on the side of the street (many times they can only get halfway off the road) only one car can pass at a time, you have to wait for the car coming the other way.

I suspect the 1/2 parking light feature is to allow the parking lights to be left on overnight so cars will see them at night in the street while draining only 1/2 the battery supply.

I'm not 100% sure of this but I have driven in GB/Europe though I didn't do much secondary road driving at night.

As a side note, I saw on some news program where GPS's are causing a real havoc in GB since people are taking these smaller roads that weren't designed to handle the traffic that the use of GPS's is subjecting them too. It's really causing a problem with the trucks (tight/narrow corners).

Robert Collins - 96 993TT

Good call, Bill. That is the same thing I heard as the purpose for their original use.

The body of an 993 is not mounted on a chassis in the center, it's slightly towards the passener side.
Go and measure the gap between the fender and a tire,it's different from one side to another.

I had heard this a few years back -- someone mentioned the amount of offset is 6mm.

Ahhh, bitten by another factoid.

Hey Bull, I heard that selling a 964 to buy a 993 is the first indication that your IQ is slipping. Keeping the 964 and buying a 993 indicates an IQ increase.

Stealth 993

I drove my 95 C4 then hopped in the 97 C4S.

The V-ram cars have SO MUCH more midrange & are much smoother. Really seam to pull harder towards redline. But the 95's feel a little more raw, & sound nicer @ WOT.
