Not buying this car. No records, not even for recalls and initial services (via Porsche system).

Six year and 90,000 km gap in CarProof. Maybe the car was being driven on a dealer plate, or perhaps it was being used outside of North America?

Not to mention weird interior swap to plastic doors and who knows what else.

Flood car?

Installed a new headlight switch ****. Old one would pull right off. Now I can actually turn on the fog lights.

2 new rear tires last week. Didn't balance them right and I'm tired of that shop so I had Porsche dealership to it while it was in for alignment. Drives like it should now.

For the heck of it, I updated the navigation CDs from 2007 maps to the 2015 maps. At least my own street now shows on the map (newer subdivision).

Any more pics of your car so I can see those wheels?

just got the car back from Mirage Intl from clutch stuff...

so i went w/ the RS 4.0 clutch/lwfw/pp - feels amazing; especially when coupled with the BBi gt2 slave conversion. very awesome...highly recommend all of the above if you can stand the chatter from the 4.0 clutch. sounds funny, but seems like it's getting quieter, or i'm going deaf...o well.

That box full of marble sound won't go away, it's part of having a lightened flywheel.

Yep. Mine has been on there for about 40k miles and it sounds like a rusted out Pinto at idle.

You're one of the lucky few.
Some tunes account for a lwfw with a slightly higher idle speed to help with the rattle. Mine doesn't.

Yes, mine is raised to 840. Stock is 720 I believe. The higher idle pressure is a good thing especially for hard driven track cars as it elevates idle oil pressure slightly.

What are the consequences of seized wastegates? No/weaker boost?
