I'm newer to this forum, been lurking for a little while. Pulled the trigger about six months ago and purchased a 2002 986 triptronic w/ 79k on it. I love the car! I've owned several roadsters in the past, this is my first Porsche. I have previously owned a Fiat spider & X19, Mazda Miata, BMW Z3.
The first six months have been interesting! My first project was a coolant leak in the trunk, I changed the coolant expansion tank, that was a lot of fun! Then a few months ago, replaced the CPS. This afternoon I replaced my fuel pump. Thanks to this form and some other google searches I was able to do all these repairs myself. I'm sure I've saved a few bucks doing my own wrenching. I guess I would say I get personal satisfaction doing the stuff myself.
I would like to thank all the contributors that have shared all the wealth of information in this forum!
