Hi 6speeders.

Long time member, first time poster.

I just put $5k deposit on a 2006 Porsche C4S TPC turbo, I believe this used to be aznevovii's car. I'm flying out tomorrow to check it out, super excited. Got a PPI for it and the service advisor said the turbo and installation was top notched. Everything checked out perfect. I'm not too fond of the high polished wheels, it probably get it power coated black.

Any history of this car I should be aware of? I tried to PM aznevovii but need 15 post. I'm almost there.

Clean car but please take those wheels to the nearest scrap yard. j/k Maybe you can get a few pesos for them but no color will help them belong on that car..any car ftm.

Thanks for all the compliment. I saw the car yesterday, my impression of the car is, it looks insane, much better in person. The wheels looks bad in pics but it's actually not that bad in person b/c the lip is black, it reflects the dar color into the high polished finished and actually look like dark shadow chrome.

Driving impression: What a great sports car. It handles extremely well, very responsive. The all wheel drive grips like a gold digger to your wallet. TPC made a great turbo, there is hardly if any lag. This car wants to go. Unfortunately the road around Jake's is full of potholes and cracks so I didn't really stepped on it. The car is quiet at low RPM, then when you let it loose, it screams.

The is no daily driver though. The car is like two inches off the ground, it's extremely low. There were a couple of gravel on the road and swore I scaped it.

Overall I love it, it can't really look better than this, CF GT3 style wing, CF diffuser, very aggressive looking. It's getting detailed then loaded and shipped to Colorado.

Already did I was going to PM you but I don't have enough post. Is the ECU tuned for 93 octane since it's an east coast car? We don't have 93 octane here, we get the oxygenated 91 octane here for the high altitude.

It's being prepped for delivery.

Here are some pics I took while I was out in San Diego to check out the car. It's a beauty. The car will be here next week, a little later than expected due to a mistake in the interest rate. Good thing I caught it and made them change it to what I was quoted, that took a few days extra.















Sorry for the image spam, yes I'm a bit excited. lol

WOW!

Good for Jake!! and surely good for you!!!!!

This was treated me very good, and I am super happy that it is going to a good home, and fellow 6speed member!!!!

TPC will back this car if you encounter any problem (tho I NEVER had any problem),
CPO is still valid through Porsche 6yr / 100k warranty.

Only thing I would worry about with this car is, clutch. I personally never had issue with it, TPC dyno read a very minimal loss on the clutch friction %, but it was the weakest point of the car. I am sure you drove the car, it feels 110% normal.

Other than this, car was well built, worth every penny of whatever the amount you paid for it, Congrats, and please please please.. keep her in good health!!!!!

should have any question, please pm me, I would love to help you under my knowledge about this particular car, and so as TPC.
