Default Welcome to you...

And congrats on the 996. I have a 99 , bought it almost 2 years ago. Lots of knowledge here esp in the 996 Forum.

Thanks to all. It amazes me every time I take it out. I don't think it will ever be a DD but I honestly don't think that is what was designed for.

HI all, first post here as well. Just bought an 03 996 and it IS my daily @Dan Garman ! Completely stock and super well cared for, especially for a 996. Replaced the idler pulleys, tensioner pulley, and belt. Needs AOS and motor mounts then good to go. The only three things I want to change right now are the touch points. Steering (debating thisr having a local shop wrap mine, but I'm guessing metropol is unlikely to be avail at a local upholsterer). Thinking rennline shift ****, and rennline pedals.

Randy C,
I am in the process of changing my wheels to the ones on your 03. Obviously I love them to change out 993 Turbos to Carrara 2s. Fortunately my SO is tolerant. Three kids doing home school so I still need a practical DD. Things opening up here in South Carolina. My oldest will be 15 in a week. While I don't want to kill a brand new clutch she will learn to drive a stick.

Hi, Im a new one here, I was wondering should I set up a racing steering wheel. I mean, I like the way it looks but I’m not that sure about the practical side. Does anybody have it? Is that suitable in terms of options and stuff. Which one would you recommend?
