r/996

Hello there is any way to disable the alarm? Like a fuse or so?

Another question, anytime I unlock the car the horn beeps twice. Does any one know the error ?

I love a good hard turn when I'm on the highway onramp.

But when I push it I see the oil pressure needle drop and start bouncing on the 3 bar line. As soon as I get straight again pressure returns immediately.

I know this is due to oil slosh but I'm wondering if this is to much of a pressure drop. Id say I'm doing 3k to 4k rpms at the time. I am not sure if I am being paranoid or if this is a real problem because 3 bar is still a decent bit of pressure.

Hey everyone,

I’m currently in the market for a weekend car and deciding between a 996 C4S (manual) and an AP2 S2000. Both are priced about the same, but the 911 has roughly double the mileage.

The car will only be driven about once a week, so my main priority is driver engagement and overall “smiles per mile.”

Curious to hear your thoughts—what would you go with and why? (I’ll also be posting this in the S2000 group to balance opinions.)

It looked pretty good until the end of 2021 w 88k miles on it. Seems to have mostly sat for the last 4 years w only an additional 4-5k miles since then. No sign of IMS being done. Front bumper looks new, I’m guessing it was replaced hence the minor incident report.

I’m considering purchasing tomorrow.

Have 7.5 and 10” hollow twists that need tires. Want a meatier fitment. Going 225/40/18 up front, anyone do 295/30 vs 285/30 on the rears? Please post pics if you do!

Just installed Eibach Pro springs and B8s in my 99 coupe with standard suspension. According to the instructions that came with the springs, the oem bump stops don’t need to be trimmed. I went with M030 stops in the rear anyway but no one had those in stock for the front so I just bought new ones in standard length.

I’m not getting any drop in ride height at the front. Upon inspection the fronts are sitting on the bump stops. This has to be preventing the advertised 1” drop, right? I’m sure they compress over bumps but are enough to hold the car up when parked?

Planning to take an 1” off of them. That would match the stops that are listed for the X74 suspension option which is 1” lower just like the Eibachs.

I didn’t get much drop in the rear either but I can live with that, just want to get rid of the nose-high stance.
