    Top tip on those frunk and engine lid latches on the '99 - You actually can't open them if the car was locked when the battery went flat. When you lock the doors those latches lock as well - it has to be the dumbest feature i've ever seen though so I've disabled that feature on my car. Great car though.

    Just sold my 99 996 and picked up a 1982 911 SC. IMO there is no amount of money one could throw at the M96 engine and make it durable like the turbo mezger engine. The 996 was conceived at Porsche's lowest point, near bankruptcy and the fact that they installed the equivalent of a sealed wheel bearing inside the engine shows they were at odds end not to mention bore scoring and cylinder D chunk failure. Thought for sure I was going to be selling a 6k rolling chassis had I'd kept it long enough and I never liked the looks as well when compared to the older cars so rebuilding the engine a 25-30k was never an option. The only reason it gets the hype on youtube is it's the cheapest 911 to get into and there is a saying about cheep Porsche's that goes "There is nothing more expensive than a cheep Porsche"

I'd definitely get it checked out. Not sure how mechanical you are but one easy wat is to cut open the oil filter after a oil change and inspect for brown or black plastic bits (cam pads) or metal bits especially those that are magnetic because the IMS bearing is magnetic steel unlike the aluminum used on most other components in the block.

    I've worked on these cars for over 20 years and (and have owned the 2g, 3g, 4g and various other Mitsubishi 8 in total) you have no idea what you're talking about sorry. First, you keep talking about how much heavier the 3g over the 2g. Look at both top trims: 2g GSX 3,210 lb, 3g GTS 3,053 lb the 3g is almost 150lbs lighter. Secondly you say the 2g is stiffer, but the 3g chassis is actually stiffer vs the 2g by 10%. The 3g is the most underrated of all the Eclipse, around the same power as a 2g GSX, is lighter, has a stiffer chassis. The only thing it looses is awd and the more robust mod community, though you can still modify the 3g so I don't consider that an argument. Of every generation I found the 3rd to be the best, the 4th gen second, and the 2g third.
