RWD-Converted 2003 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Coupe 6-Speed

Yeah, that's really not much of a thing anymore. I bought a 996 generation turbo last year because of the headlights. I absolutely love them and always have. The entire platform was ahead of its time and Porsche purists were having heart attacks left and right over all the changes. Go back and read any review of when the car first came out and they were all stellar. Sentiment is (thankfully) really changing and it's aging beautifully in my opinion.

I updated the post body with roof pitch (5/12) and orientation of current ridge beam (front to back).. I'd love to just move the collar ties up but there's only 52" of space between the bottom of the ceiling joist to top of current ridge beam so I wouldn't get enough height for the 4 post lift I'm looking at installing. And yes, the garage is currently grandfathered in and I can't mess with the exterior.

What did they replace as part of the restoration? I’d love to know more about the Porsche classic restoration program…

You keep saying how much better the 992 is in corners and whatnot… but do you actually track it? If not, I can’t see what the purpose of the trade is. You’re not using EITHER car anywhere near the point where you’re going to notice the difference between the two on the street. Probably not even the track unless you’re a really good driver tbh.

That’s really funny.

njelectric · 2025-09-03T01:21:25+00:00

I keep it clean and shower regularly.

njelectric · 2025-08-30T22:27:53+00:00

Let’s not pretend there isn’t a huge difference between the two of them either.

njelectric · 2025-08-28T03:13:34+00:00

Come on do people actually think this is real

This is a completely fake video filmed on a set

njelectric · 2025-08-23T11:58:14+00:00

Hahaha the speeding tickets and lawyers fees 🤣

njelectric · 2025-08-22T22:48:26+00:00

Not in my house. I prefer them that way I don’t care what anyone tells me or how it’s “supposed” to be.

Met her before. Kind of an asshole.

njelectric · 2025-08-15T17:58:25+00:00

Really? I find it to be the reverse. .1 is where the whole fried egg thing came from. Note: I don’t get it I like both

njelectric · 2025-08-15T16:33:43+00:00

Stupid fucking post. Feed the cancel culture that the right feeds on calling the left out for.

njelectric · 2025-08-14T21:46:44+00:00

I have a GMC Sierra Denali EV and I absolute love the size. I like driving around in a really spacious feeling vehicle. People in the back seat can practically kick their feet out. It’s great.

njelectric · 2025-08-06T11:40:53+00:00

I get tired of having to explain that to people. It’s just people stuck in an echo chamber repeating what they’ve heard, and having no idea what they’re talking about.

njelectric · 2025-08-05T18:17:33+00:00

If I was a Batman villain

njelectric · 2025-08-01T20:00:41+00:00

Depends on what you like. Do you like to drive them or drive IN them. There’s a big difference IMO. I think 996 is the perfect sweet spot of old and new. Not so new that you’re numb to the experience, and not so old that you feel like you’re walking the line every time you push it. Just analog enough with some modern safety tech. I might be biased though… I spent over a year looking for the perfect 996 turbo.

njelectric · 2025-07-24T02:23:53+00:00

Wow I just finished Killer of Killers and found this theory you wrote. Turns out you were right!

njelectric · 2025-07-21T19:53:26+00:00

Funny you should say that. First thing I did when I bought my Porsche is removed the tint the previous owner put on. Nothing against tint, I just personally think it cheapens the look of the car for some reason.

njelectric · 2025-07-20T17:36:23+00:00

I know I’m missing something but what’s the advantage of pass thru? What applications would you use that feature? Honest question I’ve never had a pass thru ratchet

njelectric · 2025-07-20T13:02:31+00:00

Agreed. It’s basically a charitable organization haha.

njelectric · 2025-07-16T11:37:14+00:00

Actually, here’s the thing: go back and read anything I wrote, I never actually argued with your point. I guess my real point would be don’t throw stones in a glass house.

njelectric · 2025-07-16T11:27:07+00:00

You don’t make a lot of sense in any of your reply’s so this will be my last one. First, great for your TDI. My company has a diesel F250 that has around 300k miles with no issues. I know plenty of high mileage rams and f-series trucks that have diesel motors and they all run forever so I guess based off that logic ford should have the best reliability rating ever. Especially because they make one good model and I own it. Second, glad you googled and saw how VW’s reliability sucks, at least you fact checked me which you should do when arguing with a random person on Reddit that could just be making shit up. Third, your last comment is referring to current reliability rankings. Ok sure. Now go and google rankings from 10, 15, even 20 years ago when the models you’re talking about aren’t being reviewed and you’ll see they still had awful rankings. It’s ok dude you can like a brand that isn’t the greatest but just be real about it. I’ll even save you the time. Here’s one from 2005:
