nice Rich10s

I have the 'same' car

what options do you have ?

 

Its loaded - all options except the Nav. I have not done any after market performance mods to it. I did however switch out the side markers though - way better than the orange stock ones

Mine is a 2003 and has a 6 speed manual transmission with only 15,000 miles. I do need to replace the 2 front tires but I cant decide which ones to go with.

Tell me about your 4s and upload a few pics too

hey Rich

I'm amazed at your low miles !

I ordered mine with sport seats / headrest logo, carbon brake,shifter & sills, lictronics, crest center caps, sunroof

what tires do you have on the rear ?

 

My Carrera has the 4s wheel caps, it has a sunroof, NO crest/logo on the seats, it does have the carbon fiber trim inside (steering wheel, ebrake, and shift ****). Yeah only 15,178 miles on it - i drive it only on nice days and never in the rain.

My front tires are continental which need to be replaced asap - 31%. My rear tires are Michelin Pilot - they are still good - about 58%.

I am having a terrible time deciding which brand of tires to buy for my car. Any suggestions?

Rich

 

get michelin for the front...it's a crime to mis match

every once in a while I put my 4s caps on for a change
how long have you had that car ?

 

forgot about my carbon steering wheel

 

I am leaning towards the Michilin Super Sport tires for the front. I have owned the car for a year - second owner - when i bought it it had 13,800 miles on it - a 62 year old man owned it - he bought it brand new from the Porsche dealership in 2003 - he had all the service records from the dealership - clean title and car fax - I had it checked out top to bottom - its an excellent car - what a find!

What is your opinion in regard to the Michilin Super Sport tires?

Rich

 

I've always used pilot sports and I read that the SS blend that performance with longer tread wear..so they sound good ... but if you have pilot sport on the rear, put them on the front too

you did find a rare car !

 

A few weeks ago at TWS

 

This is how I purchased it, stock:



This is after some work done: Excuse the bad tires, I'm putting 315's on it in a week or so.



This was my drive to work today:

 

Planning lnengineriing nikkies. Should i go to 4.0 or just 3.6? Does deep sump cause frequent contact with pavement? Is a plenum advisable? I am advised to have the ecu reprogramed. Will this allow over revvinng-- my wife occasionally autocrosses this c4s.

 

Well I FINALLY ordered my new tires - Michelin PS2s for the front and back - yep i'm replacing all four at the same time. They should arrive by next Monday - I'm so happy to have finally made a decision - can't ever go wrong with PS2's

 

I sold my 2002 C4S in 2005. I have since gone through many cars but can't seem to forget that C4S. I just found out a family member has decide to sell his 2003 seal gray 4S. I helped him buy the car in 2005 and he had put only 15k miles since. I believe he currently has just below 50k miles. It has nav and Bose... Don't remember much more. What is a fair private party sale price? Not that excited about mixing money and family!

 

just bought 996 4s 2002 with 17000 miles on and i like to buy a new wheels and tires but i have a big dlemma to stay with 18s or buy 19s? any suggestions ?

 

stay with 18
