Re: Road Trip Tips for 996

After two months of vacation driving from Dana Point, CA to Hampton Beach, NH AND BACK... I put 7500 miles on the ole 2000 996 C4 Tip without, let me repeat WITHOUT any issues.

Slip on style seat covers?

Looking for a set of front seat slip on style seat covers for my 2000 996, anyone have a set they can recommend? Not looking for the leather replacements, just a good slip cover to protect the leather underneath.

Re: Road Trip Tips for 996

hahahahaha I know guys, I was so impressed that I bought a lotto ticket for saturday night!

Re: Road Trip Tips for 996

Well guys, I made the 2700 mile trip with no major issues. Averaged 72mph and 25mpg. Only a few issues, like a oil pressure gauge that didn't seem to ready correctly.

Road Trip Tips for 996

Hey everyone, during the California Festival of Speed I learned about the 996 Outpost! Love what I have seen thus far. My 2000 996 Carrera 4 Tip is my first water cooled 911.
