Picked my Porsche up today and drove it a few hundred miles through thunderstorms and a second or two of hail (yikes!). All's in good shape, not showroom condition, but mechanically solid and just in need of a good detail.
'99 C2 arctic silver with red leather interior (unff…), lsd and a few other goodies, 82k on the odometer.
A 2004 C2 with only few options. H&R coils and Koni yellows, HID light and upgraded stereo, all wrapped in a seal gray skin, currently at 83 k miles with non serviceable IMS bearing. Just arrived in Carlsbad after a 1700 miles drive from San Antonio, TX.

Congrats! Non serviceable IMS? Was your engine replaced with a late M97 engine im assuming?
Dan_198 In the hands of the previous owner the engine had an IMS failure while starting the car, I was told. Porsche San Antonio repaired the engine (not replaced with a crate engine) under warranty and replaced most internals, including the IMS with the larger bearing. After 35k miles the engine is running fine and strong.
Bought mine a long time ago but still happy to share pics. Here are a couple of quick pics I took of my 2004 C4S...
Sharkwerks tune, Fabspeed exhaust, EvoMS headers, EvoMS airbox, B&M short shifter...otherwise stock. Triple grey: Seal grey with grey top and grey interior.
Thanks woodman its zenith blue, I think it's quite a rare colour??
Engine fully rebuilt by me in my spare time over the past year or so , everything replaced , bearings,chain rails , chains , eps roller bearing ims, cylinders re machined and strengthened by Hartech, piston crowns ceramic coated with Teflon coating on the skirts , cylinder heads rebuilt, new guides and seals , valve seats re ground, valves cleaned and re surfaced, new AOS 997 type Rms , new oil pump,new clutch, just tweaking out the last few bits before I get her on the road 😄😄
Wow Noz, that's amazing. I'm envious of people like you who can do such things with engines and what not. Must be a cool feeling as you drive knowing everything that's moving you forward was touched by your own hands. Bet you missed driving her for a year, too!
Did your old engine fail, or did you buy a roller and rebuild a blown one?

Just busting your chops. What kind of strut mounts/top hats are you using?
