You know, I would have absolutely taken you up on that had I known. I truly lucked out. I swear the car looks better in person than in pictures so I am one happy camper! How close are you to Oxnard? I am surprised to hear that there aren't a bunch of P cars there given it is in Cali! We have them all over the place in Naples (base model dealer spec cars of course)

The lobster claws happen to be my favorite Porsche design wheel! From what I have been told they are extremely light weight due to hollowing of the spokes. How true is this? Does anyone know their exact weights?

Well from what I understand, the Cocoa leather is no longer "marbleized" so it makes me appreciate the leather even more! Thanks for the kind words

What I can see from your pictures is that you're missing the aluminum intake manifold and, because of this, most likely the bigger throttle body from the X51. Do you have access to a PIWIS tester or Durametric? If your car has a full X51/Powerkit conversion, the ECU was flashed and got a permanent change in its numbers that can be verified with a scanner like Durametric or PIWIS.
No, I actually bought the car through a private sale. The seller explained to me that the first owner installed the X-51 airbox as well as many other things like a third radiator, etc. I asked him what exactly was installed but he honestly was not completely sure. The car came with about eight inches of documentation and in the docs I can see that the X-51 package was installed almost to a tee. If he missed the aluminum intake manifold, this leads me to believe that he may have left it out on purpose.

Would there be a reason for him to install a third radiator just because of an X-51 airbox? The car also has the heads installed and other X-51 parts that I had confirmed by the tech at Porsche Naples... Alternatively, can you think of a reason as to why he may have left out the manifold? Like I said, I am piecing the puzzle together as the second owner was familiar with the car based on the documents but was not exactly a gear head. He sure did take good care of the car, though! He barely drove it as he also owns a 2013 SL Benz as a daily and a low mile Testarossa which made me feel good, because I know how difficult it can be to own, operate and maintain those cars. Any help you can offer is much appreciated!

Now load up on the right cleaning supplies to keep her looking this good for many years!
Thank you very much. Do you have any suggestions as to what to use on the interior? The car came very clean and the seats and all other leathers are very supple, and the car smells like a new Porsche. I can't stand leather products that take away from the genuine scent. I have always used Byron's Hyde Food on my BMW's, but I obviously need to turn it up a notch for this car, especially considering the dash, roof, etc.

Thank you! It's funny. I have had so many people on different forums all compliment the interior.

If it were more basic I guess people would notice the PCCB's?
