hi guys,

i recently just went from owning full race spec drift cars and bought a 996 C4S.
i was just wondering what have you all done to your cars and what are some of the first modifications that i should get for mine.

pictures would be great!!

thanks

Good choice. The C4S is a great looking vehicle. Here are a few of the mods I've done so far to my C4S:

Clear side markers
LED 3rd brake lights, smoked
X51 style double exhaust tips
Aluminum/leather steering wheel
Upgraded stereo system to a modern double-DIN with nav, bluetooth, Sirius
Auto-dimming rearview mirror with homelink
Fister D sport mufflers
Tow hook mounted front license plate bracket
Added heated seats
Aluminum racing pedals

I've also done a few maintenance items:

Refinished all four wheels
Replaced Porsche center caps with updated design
Refinished headlights
Replaced front spoiler lip
Replaced leather/aluminum shift ****
Replaced leather on seat bolsters

If I were going to pick one to start, I'd go with the Fister D sport mufflers (assuming you don't already have Porsche Sport Exhaust).

 

^ thanks for all the info!!

yea my car is completely stock except for nav haha
i was thinking about a meisterschaft exhaust? any good new on them?

i have a hook up so somethings that will be going on the car very soon would be
-FULL vleds LED conversion on the full car
-Bilstein pss9 coilovers,
-status racing seats
-some type of bolt in cage
-Rotiform TMB's
-exhaust
-intake
-ecu flash

 

I've been considering a suspension upgrade as well. My indy recommends PSS10s, but I'm not sure yet. I'm also considering some sport cats and perhaps some new headers to open up the exhaust a little. I've heard mixed reviews on an ecu flash for normally aspirated cars. I don't plan to spend my money on this one.

 

Looking at your list, leaves me at the conclusion you want to make the car track ready. If this is the case I would also consider the X51 oil kit, if your car doesn't have the X51 Kit already. Since Carrera blocks aren't real dry sumps, you would want to get all the help you can to improve lubrication.
Other than that, suspension would be my first choice to do. Bilstein PSS is a good option. Air intake mod would also make a nice addition to the sound.

 

I mean, i would like to go to the track occasionally but its kind of just a weekend car or just my nice car. Im so new to the Porsche/euro that im hesitant on what i should do to it. Modifying JDM cars is much different than a C4S so i just want to get everything right the first time

maybe 3 sets of rims?
-OEM set with slicks
-19 lobster OEMS with RT615's
-19 Rotiform TMB's to stance the car


good idea??



thanks

pics please...

 

Why 3 sets? All you need is two: one for daily driving (whatever looks best to you) and one for tracking...
(unless of course you want to drive the car in the winter, then maybe another one for winter tires)
