Bought her recently and I plan to get some ramps, get dirty, and fix her up the best I can without having to take her to someone else - not because I dont trust someone else, but because I want to do this myself (well, as much as possible).

Here's 4 issues I havent solved yet (besides horn on start, that I posted mistakenly in the 911 forum), all shown in this video
1. How to set manual settings
2. How to play CDs from 4 slots
3. Best way to reattach silver plate on drivers side door
4. How to get the spoiler to go up automatically, over 70 mph.

YouTube - Things to figure out on new 996
On #4, I found a site that said there is a relay box in the trunk behind the carpet on the driver side where some of the relays could be switched, but I couldn't find the box behind the carpet on the drivers side.
Also going to buy this book recommended on Rennlist forum "Porsche 996 The Essential Companion: Supreme Porsche", and thinking about paying $20 at another site to download a repair manual too.
