PPI was clean, 75K miles on original clutch, I might do that+IMS soon (clutch is still fine, it's the IMS worries that'd motivate me).

I would change the pumkins and add tints, after that, it's a slippery slope!

I guess it's got headlight washers, though Santa Barbarians such as my self have little use for those.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi all,
When I was a kid, I had this poster on my bedroom wall (and as of a few weeks ago, I now do again).
Like the kid in the "do you have a business card" ad:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oGZF-Il7-M
it took me a while but I finally made it.
After lurking on the boards here for a while I finally sold my S2000 and picked up a new-to-me 2003 C4. White with grey full leather, picked it up in NorCal over the weekend and drove it home to Santa Barbara on Tuesday.
PPI was clean, 75K miles on original clutch, I might do that+IMS soon (clutch is still fine, it's the IMS worries that'd motivate me). For now though, I'm just going to drive it like I stole it.
If it were black or grey, I'd have pumpkin replacements on order already, but I don't mind the orange on white as much. I guess we'll see. I'd like to get a new HU for iPod/BT hookup (haven't researched options there yet). Maybe aluminum pedals, or silver gauges or black wheels or... well, in all honesty, it's pretty sweet as it is.
Anyhow, I couldn't leave without some pics so here goes:

Dog likes it, but probably will be happier once it quits raining and I store the hard top:

1st Welcome!
2nd The box of tissues next to the pic of the Porsche is a bit disturbing
3rd A narrow body 2003 C4 vert? Is that a U.S. Car?
I understood that the 02 and later C4 cars were all C4S cars. Am I confused?
Welcome aboard and congrats on the accomplishment. I think we all have experienced our 1st Porsche after years of dreaming.
I love the whites. Very rare to me to see them around. Love the interior
They do make cab c4's in white, though they seem pretty rare. I found one after a bit of looking. The soft top is black, it's just the hard top that's white.
Beyond that, it's a pretty normal c4 cab. Interior is full leather with the crests in the headrests and the seat heaters (these were a wife-based requirement!) and all that. No navi or pcm or any of that. I guess it's got headlight washers, though Santa Barbarians such as my self have little use for those.
Hope you get a 959 some day
When washing watch out for concentrated streams of water near the tops seal. Sometimes they leak.
Glad to see your dream came true.
I also had the S2000...great car, real solid. Best transmission every built. Very different drive but same light and low front.
On my Second Porsche 996 , great german sports car...first thing PORSCHE ALUMINUM PEDAL 911
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...61265798576819
Find a nice C4S front bumper on ebay.
I found one for 400$ on ebay... take off/put on.
Congratulations -- I know the feeling! I had a 959 poster and a 930 poster in my bedroom, I think my parents still have that stuff stored away somewhere. I should find them and put them up in my garage...
Anyway, enough about me: your car is beautiful and your dog is beautiful. May you have many thousands of years of enjoyment with both!
I think you've just captured the psychological profile for a rennlister.
I too bought the car that was on my wall, but newer. My poster was a 1985 black on black targa. When I decided to buy a 911, I figured that the 11 year-old me would have wanted 33 year-old me to follow through on the dream - even though I found a couple really nice C4Ss.
I now own a 996 black on black Targa.
You did very well.
Good luck finding a 959...
