My first Porsche - 911 C4S
 
I found an '09 CPO C4S with 15k miles on the clock down in SoCal. Once we finalized the paper work last, I was able to find an enclosed trailer to take it up here to Seattle. I just picked her up today. Other than the 2 small dings on the pax side, everything else is perfect. Here are couple pics:

Filling her up after pick up, R front tire was also low on pressure, so pumped a couple pounds of air into that too

Resting in the garage waiting for license plate and registration to come in the mail.

looks sharp...all the best...enjoy

K-E-V 09-01-2011 07:26 PM

Actually ordered some mods for the P-car already. Since there are so many options to play with I think I'll have fun tweaking every little aspect of the car for the next few years. This will keep my automotive OCD at bay.

I've ordered the following stuff already:

CF light switch surround / ignition rosette
CF door latch pull
silver hood crest
clear LED tail lamps
GT2 side skirts
911 emblem
multifunction steering wheel kit (2011+ style, black center)
rear seat / seat belt delete kit
front red seat belts
carbon seat belt outlet trim
Techart lowering springs
Porsche Sports Exhaust

chi4s 09-01-2011 07:27 PM

Beautiful. Congrats. That must have been a nice drive back up to Seattle.

Max77 09-01-2011 07:28 PM

Looks good, I've got the same trim/color/wheels on a '10.

Jamerikan 09-01-2011 07:34 PM

Looking sharp, congrats!

dallascajun 09-01-2011 07:57 PM

While you're at it, call the guys at SharkWerks and get the Center Exhaust Bypass. It is a PERFECT addition to the 997, and even better on a PSE-equipped car.

BTW: she's beautiful. Good pickup & congrats!

Thanks for the tip. I actually am working with Alex to get the center bypass from Cargraphic, which would also convert the exhaust tips to a GT3-style center exit exhaust :cool:

dallascajun 09-01-2011 08:23 PM

A man with a plan...and a good one at that. I'll be on the lookout to see how your updates are progressing. Sounds HOT.

surfah 09-01-2011 08:24 PM

Nice whip. I <3 the rims.

Ramluro 09-01-2011 08:27 PM

Sweet ride, dude. Congrats.

Michael_s 09-01-2011 08:40 PM

Gotta love the fat arse....... enjoy!

MalcolmV 09-01-2011 08:44 PM

Fab car! And going to be even better with those mods! Good luck and many miles of Porsche motoring.

Ynot 09-01-2011 09:14 PM

Congrats, it's nice and wide just the way I like it.

DoninDEN 09-01-2011 10:37 PM

That's a bad motor scooter! Nice!

seapar 09-01-2011 10:56 PM

Congrats on the nice 4s. I am also here in the NW and I encourage U to join the local PCA club for fun events. I am taking my 4s to my 4th Porsche club DE event at Pacific Raceways this sat. Come on down to meet fellow P car drivers and check out their mods and having big fun driving on the track.

Mkaaes 09-02-2011 12:47 AM

Congrats, do u mind if I ask how much u paid? I also recently purchased a 09 C4S

Alex K 09-02-2011 03:28 AM

Lekker car boet! You are going to love the 911 emblem. Got one too. Enjoy the car and drive safe.

Slik560 09-02-2011 08:51 AM

Congrats on a fine acquisition! Hope that your garage is secured in some manner. Now all you need is a bunch of old tires to hang around the outside like a tugboat to protect it from door-slammers when it's parked in the garage!

Thanks. I'm still in residency so it's hard for me to make plans ahead ;) I'll try to make it to local events or meets though.

My actual spot is next to a concrete post so there's only one side that my neighbor can ding.




Update: received a couple bins of parts from Sharkwerks (Techart springs by Eibach), Suncoast (GT2 side skirts, clear rear LED tails), and Rennline (pedals). Waiting for my PSE to arrive from Suncoast, then I'll proceed with installing everything!

Comet 09-08-2011 01:14 AM

any interior pics?

Congrats and welcome to the club :)

cavsct94 09-08-2011 04:54 AM

Really love the rear view, as always!

chobit 09-08-2011 06:45 AM

Nice future mod. Would love to see it in person when you join us @ E@RTC.

SuncoastRyan 09-08-2011 07:31 AM

Kev,

Thanks again for the order! The car is looking great... Can't wait to see the finished product.

Sleepy996 09-08-2011 07:52 AM

Looks so familiar! Congratulations. FWIW - I installed the clear tail lenses and really like the look on my black '09 Targa 4S. What's the silver hood crest?

LMAO I thought I was balling in a new Explorer Sport. Man, cutting CVS coupons and eating Top Ramen, do not miss those days too much. Thank God for moonlighting.

sharkster 09-08-2011 03:20 PM

LambOfGod 09-08-2011 03:21 PM

littlerocket 09-08-2011 04:19 PM

Can I ask how much? You can PM it to me, in the market and wondering what the prices are sitting at right now.

Finally had time to do the first mod of the car. I installed the MACarbon black CF door latch pull today. Pics to follow tomorrow. The finish of the carbon is great. Fitment is perfect, and it took me less than 90 seconds per side to install.

K-E-V 09-11-2011 03:01 PM

90 secs per side? That easy? hmm, might consider doing this, as my paint is starting to rub off on the door pulls. It came out nice, thanks for sharing.

K-E-V 09-11-2011 03:14 PM

Seriously, 90 seconds a side. It's held in place by one T15 bolt!

Mkaaes 09-11-2011 03:21 PM

One of these days we should get together as we r both in the NW and new 911 owners (I've had mine since May). I'd like to see what mods u do and how ur car evolves:)
