Attended an introductory high performance driving school at the National Corvette Museum Motorsports Park in my new to me 2002 996.2 C2! It was awesome! Learned a lot and had a great time. We had classes, autocross, & track time all day long. There were only 10 of us so we pretty much had an instructor to each pair all day. I learned that I am slow & can’t rev match downshift very good at all. Also learned that my stock suspension car has some body roll, understeer, & some brake feel issues. I’m thinking about some braided brake lines, good fluid, new tires, & some Ohlins suspension to start with. I have read a lot of threads about suspension, sway bars, tops, and linkages. Is there a definite go to for top mounts? I’ve been looking at the Ohlins or Tarett mounts. I want to do the coil overs first & then the sway bars. Any comments or recommendations are appreciated. The car will be used as my sunny day driver & once a month track day experience.1 point

Glad you had a great experience and want more. Tracking is a lot of fun! The track you'll be driving determines a lot of this. One local track required a lot of brake so I spent on brake. The new track uses little brake but a lot of grip so sticky tires and suspension overhaul are good. One of my 996 buddies spent a ton on his suspension including all the adjustable links, but went back towards stock as it was too uncomfortable as a daily. Maybe just a simple refresh of the 3 arms on each corner with new bits unless yours have already been done. Another intermediate step would be firmer bushings in the metal arms. Next, there are intermediate steps between coilovers and stock dampers. Stiffer Bilsteins (B4 is stock, B6 is stock height but stiffer, B8 is for use with lowering springs and same stiffness IIRC as the B6). I run B6 on my Box and its a good compromise.1 point

Just now figured it out on my ‘09 C2S Step 1. Press Info button Step 2. Press Option button Step3. Click the on screen option ‘Set PCCM System’ Step 4. Click the on screen option ‘Reset’ Step 5. Click the on screen option ‘Vehicle hand over’ (did not choose factory settings as did not want to rick loosing any version updates ir messing something else) Step 6 and 7: select Yes for confirmations to proceed. All devices should be gone now plus any other data like phonebook and navigation addresses. you may also notice that in the Source menu, some options like AUX/iPOD etc have also disappeared. Go to Source: Select ‘Disc’ (have to have a disc inserted and car engine running), then click Options and it takes you to a menu to select various sources to select and display in the Source menu Hope this helps. Good Luck1 point

Also if you don't want to replace the switch you can just bypass it so you can use the top Here's a good video how to do it:1 point

Oh man, I hope you have a better result than I did with my 09 2S. Mine failed when I tried to pull away from a traffic light a year ago. Got the transmission emergency run on the dash. Car wouldn't move forward or backward. The gear indicator flashed back and forth between 1 and 2 when I had it in drive but the car wouldn't move. Couldn't clear it with Durametric while at the traffic light. Shift rod 3 failure. Towed the next day to a PIWIS which cleared some of the codes but could not clear the Shift rod 3 error. Tech tried first to run PIWIS calibration routine and then to reflash it - both to no avail. I was out of warranty and ended up paying for PCNA re-manufactured unit to be installed. Based on other failures he had seen, tech thought the issue was in the hydraulic section of the box but of course Porsche doesn't share what they found when the failed unit was opened up in Germany. What part of the country are you from?1 point

@ RFM - Is it possible to overpressurise the bellows as described by 4CN Air? Does the air suspension system have a high pressure cutout? What is the normal operating pressure inside the strut bellows? @ 4CN Air - When your air strut blew, did the other 3 struts or the opposing strut deflate as well, or was it just the blown strut that drooped?1 point
