How to prepare for the arrival of my 2011 C4S!
Hey everyone, I had posted in April during the order process for my 2011 C4S. A lot of your guys had provided great advice. I am happy to say that the car is on its way from Germany! :)
(Order Thread) I wanted to know if there were any requirements you guys consider essential. i.e. 1. Should I have a separate set of winter wheels or should I change the tires as required. 2. Any accessories that are a must i.e. rubber floor mats etc. Unfortunately being 30 years old, living in Toronto and having a speeding ticket on my record means that the lowest insurance rate I could get is $2500/yr but so be it. I can't wait till it arrives and will post pics when it's here. |
Where you live, yes, I would get a set of 18" rims with N-rated winter tires.
If you drive it in the snow, sure, deep rubber mats from Weathertech are better. |
you,d better get prepared when your 997mk2c4s arrives in 2011 that a view months later the 991 is introduced :eek:
sorry i didn,t want to hurt your feelings. |

The 991 will only be announced next year as a 2012 model if not later. Besides, many 911 fans may not like the new 991... sorry i didn,t want to hurt your feelings. |

Thanks adias. I've already started to look into a few mods as well such as a TUBI exhaust.

Why don't you leave the car stock for a while and enjoy it? It's always better to deal with early warranty issues with a bone stock car. Later if you think you need changes then consider it.

Who knows, you may love it exactly the way it is and not want to change a thing. Thats fine as well. My car is my daily driver on the streets of Los Angeles. I have no need to ever do any performance mods on it. Would be a big waste of time, energy and $$$. I have no desire to track it. Good luck and enjoy! Many years of happy and healthy driving, Steve |

That's a good idea. Drive it the way it was meant to be from the factory first... see what you like/dislike first and maybe then find out what you want to improve upon- if anything;)

Agreed! I plan on taking a little road trip from Toronto to Boston to give the engine a little break in. The car is ONVESL at the moment, it should come into port of Halifax by the end of the week and then by train to Toronto. |
