What is the pointy black probe seen in this photo? I noticed it on my car recently and wondered about its purpose.
I second the opinion that it is likely the ambient air temperature sensor. I think it's correct position is snapped in. Mine was hanging like that until I cleaned my radiators, then I snapped it back in.
Some of you may already know what’s going on with my C2 but for those of you who don’t I bought an eBay Porsche and have been restoring it on my YouTube channel.
Currently I’m completely refreshing the suspension front and rear. I’m going with Koni Active Shocks and Meyle/TRW for the arms and linkages. Lots of dirt but nothing too bad. I decided to repack them upper strut bearings, as they’re completely dry, instead of replacing them. The bump stops were strangely missing from all four shocks. The ABS/Brake sensor harnesses were also completely rotted away. That was not cheap to replace. Fun times.
Just completed this myself, I took off the Vogtland lowering springs, and put the stock ones back in, bottomed out too many times on these roads.
I think you'll like the Koni reds, nice ride, not quite like a Lexus, but a lot less like a go-kart.

Nice! Are they Active? Having a Lexus ride doesn’t sound good to me. 😳
I have not yet had the opportunity to toss it around in the corners , but so far seat of the pants meter says they are good to go, and yes, they are the Koni " special active" if that was your question. Feels better in the roundabouts, and the few rough roads I've driven on to date (maybe 50 miles)
I must add, I put new tires on as well, so, lot's of changes.
