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.

Everyone seems to be posting pics of their new rides, so I thought I would finally post some. Purchased in Dec of 04, and been obsessively lurking this board since. Did the first hand wash and rejex application yesterday, the car is transformed!
Here's the skinny on my C4:
2000 C4 ocean blue metallic/full supple leather grey interior
purchased with 11,500 miles (put on 4K since!)
6 disc hi fi stereo
K40 radar
18" turbo twist wheels
rear wiper
heated seats
(no problems this past winter with my snowtires)
Installed Fabspeed exhaust and cold air intake kit before even taking her home. I love the sound. Thinking about a SSK but not sure whether to go B&M or OEM, seems the difference is the B&M shortens by 35% and OEM only 20%. Would love some insight.
welcom to the board
i'm pretty sure the B&M and OEM are the same unit, except with a substantial price difference. I have the B&M and am very happy with it.
BTW, carefull with that rear wiper. If it accidently should flip back down in the wrong position while you're wiping the rear glass, it can leave a nasty scratch on the rear fender.
jaxxon - Nice ride, good pic. I have never seen Ocean Blue in person. Is it similar to Lapis Blue? I have one "technical" question for you. Is the Ocean Blue the same color on both the East Coast and West Coast??? Welcome!
Thanks all for the welcome, today was a great day to be out there driving. What about the difference in the throw between B&M and OEM? 20% vs 35% seems like a big difference besides just price.
What do you guys think about wheel spacers to give the car a slightly wider stance in the back and fill out the space a little nicer? I am currently running 265/35 18's in the back. What size spacer will fit nicely and not effect the alignment/handling at all? I just had a 4 wheel alignment done...
This is from the Performance products website, says the B%M reduces by 35% and the Porsche by only 20%. Do you mean the difference is not noticable? (i've omitted the prices because i'm not trying to sell them...)
B&M Short Shifter
by B&M
B&Ms short throw manual shifter is CAD designed and engineered to be direct bolt-in replacement. The only tools needed to install it are simple hand tools! Working with some of the top racers, B&M engineers took what they learned in the real world racing environment and designed a professional grade shifter. By designing in key features, such as, a billet aluminum pivot housing, brass inserts and Teflon pivot bushings make these shifters the absolute best you can buy. The CNC machined 303 stainless steel stick provides the best leverage and
reduces shift throw by 35%
. Fit 5 or 6 speed cars.
Genuine Porsche Short Shifters
by GENUINE PORSCHE
This short-throw gearshift mechanism offers a reduction in lever travel of
approximately 20%
. Precision enginerred for accurate gear selection, the result is a more dynamic driving experience.
First, when you rears wear out, replace them with 285/30/18's.
Second, as far as spacers, Porsche makes only two sizes: 5mm and 17mm. These are for the front & rear respectively in order to gain the GT3 "stance". You will pay a tad more because of the Porsche name being stamped on them but my service advisor said that my wheel bearings will still be covered under warranty if they go out since I have OEM spacers on the car - and NO I did not even purchase the spacers from this dealership. Wheel bearings will wear out sooner if you add spacers but it's more like at 80K miles rather than 120K miles.
Spacers do not affect allignment at all so no worries there. I'll see if I can locate a pic of my "stance" for you
