Ben, any chance you could check it too with your CGT? Man I am insanely jeleous of your ride!
Here's the link to the decoder: http://www.renntech.org/forums/inde...ode=vin_decoder

Basically all I want to know is does it give out what you expect. If any errors please let me know the details. TIA.

Sorry about this Ben. Loren has just this second emailed me. He has just updated it with a new version I sent him. It was probably disabled when you tried. It should be working OK now.
But you do have to login. rego is free and highly recommended. Best technical site for Porker owners.

can anyone please pull up these part numbers?

996.552.509.00
996.552.279.00

it turns out the plastic arm broke which goes into the first part number but the first part number is rivoted into the 2nd and the felt on the back means both have to be replaced. it "looks" like these might actually be 996 parts and might actually be available in less than a year.

Good one. So did the VIN decoder work out OK for your CGT?

Turns out the entire glove box and door has to be replaced and "it's on back order" (not the same one as the 996/7 and 986/7). So, I will be driving and showing (Ferrari club this week and the Carlsbad show this weekend) the CGT without a glovebox and with a big whole in the dash where it goes for who knows how long. The Ferrari guys ought to get a big kick out of this given how many Porsche guys crack on Ferrari's quality and need to wait for parts.

I would think that for this car there would be a way to overnight this part ... they are building 2 cars a day , could they not just pull one from the production line of a future car and replace that one .....
