I want to modify my 2003 C4S. I will take any suggestions. I bought the car and drove it for about 2 weeks only to put it in storage for probably the next 4-6 months (unexpectedly) while I am gone to various hellholes around the globe. If I don't sell it for lack of it being driven, I want to dump about 20k into it, all toward performance mods. I love the car as it is, but I want to make it more to my liking. Standing by....

This would be a nice performance upgrade.
Supercharger
Coilover suspensions
Complete exhaust system
ecu remap
short shifter kit
that should cover the 20k you wana spend.. maybe a bit more.

 

Any idea where in SoCal I could get all of that done? I have an automatic, so I am not sure about the short shifter. I also never plan on taking the car to the track, so mainly this would all be toward me having more fun driving it when I am back in the US on I-5 and the 405... Thanks.

 

ahh, sounds like how i got my 996 = ). im out though.

 

How do you have yours set up? I would like more specific info about how I should set my ride up. I am a babe in the woods on the subject.

 

It seems odd that you would be looking to put performance mods on a car with a tiptronic transmission. Maybe you're looking for more cosmetic upgrades, like wheels, body parts, interior. You may also want to install some new mufflers...like Fabspeed.

Or, if you've got $20,000 burning a hole in your pocket, I'm looking for investors for a new company I'm starting!

 

Haha, I am sure that you do. Pray tell, what company is that?

Anyway, I am looking for whatever performance upgrades I can do that are feasible for a C4S with Tiptronic. It is already a beautiful car, and I am not into the carbon fiber and all that jazz, but I am looking for wheels, and perhaps NAV in addition to the perf. upgrades.

 

If you want performance and quality, check out the VF Engineering Supercharger kit.

470HP
360 lb-ft of torque

Works perfectly with OEM components as well. Let me know if you're interested in a price quote. We've got amazing end of summer pricing.



As for wheels and other accessories, we can help you out with those as well.

 

I am most interested in a price quote. How would that system work on my car with it being an automatic tranny? And if you can include links for black rims that you think would look good on a Seal Grey C4S, that would be great. Thanks.

 

The Supercharger should be no issue with your automatic... someone correct me if i am wrong.

Jam was right on with other suggestions.
I'd say do the blower, full exhaust, suspension and wheels and you'll be very happy. Car will be an entirely new beast.

plenty of quality shops around the OC area to perform the work for you. I would guess top3 around OC (in no particular order):
Stuttgart Performance
Hergesheimer
GMG
I think they are all sponsors here.

if you need someone to drive it to and from shops and butt dyno it while you are traveling, just pm me

 

SoCalC4S,

Thanks for your PMs, we look forward to seeing you when you get back from overseas. I'll show you around my Cargraphic 996 C4S and we'll design a program that suits your desires and gets your car exactly how you want it.

Take care,
Bryan @ RSS / Stuttgart Performance

 

Correct. If you want maximum power and handling, an exhaust and suspension upgrade will definitely transform the car.
