I like the stock tips better, but changing over seems to be a hassle.

boochook - are you running H&R springs w/ the stock shocks?

The car is a passion, but it doesn't run my life dude (I guess like it runs yours).

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.

Growlin'! Still haven't done any before/after power measurements yet. I'll wait till there's more airflow stuff and an ECU tune to install... =) Accelerating sounds much better now, however.

it's so rare to see a proper aerokit on the c4s or any 911 for that matter. a sight for sore eyes i tell ya! the twist wheels are trademark porsche and may well be my favorite oem wheel ever. the 996 version. which you and I have... just that my set's gathering dust in storage.
Quote:
been thinking about putting the H&R lowering springs also. heard many negative comments about putting them on without appropriate upgrade shocks etc. how do you like your setup? also, heard the labor is extensive and not worth doing it. like to hear what you think. im not into the tracking, just daily driving... thx for you input..

Yeah, I hear you... I had a hard time even finding decent pictures of the Aerokit on a C4S! Actually, my picture search is what led me to the kit. =) Still, swarms of 996 cup cars riding on 10-leaf mesh wheels can't all be wrong... your wheels look the business. If abandoning stock, that'll be my route.
To the poster who asked about H&R springs, my personal taste is to increase damping when increasing spring rate. I just prefer to avoid any extra oscillation when quickly turning in.
I think the pic is a little crooked too.
Thinking about powder coating the stock tips - or maybe picking up some Techart tips... I've tried to polish the stock ones back to life with a sponge soaked in Brasso - worked to some extent after about an hour (each tip).
Quote:
I know! =) Now the question is, how do I fix that... Had the car on a lift, and couldn't find anything loose. Not sure if the pipe exiting the muffler itself is bent... I'll have to look again. It's really kind of weird looking, the way it is.
Quote:
I love the stepped lip bro and that beautiful dish but I don't like the center design of the RHs as it's nothing like the turbo twists. i mean, take a look, they're not the same at all.
Quote:
Loosen up the band clamp that hold the tip pipe to the muffler and move it around till it looks right.
I had to take mine off my stock cans and re-install them on the AP's. It took a few adjustments and tweeks to get them right.
Quote:
See....I disagree.
How can you say it is "Totally" different? It is a 5 spoke twist design that is very similar....not EXACT...but similar to the stockers.
Hey....the price was right. I kept the BBS's for track wheels.
Quote:
you have to loosen the clamp that holds the exhaust tip to muffler. then comes the fun part: you wiggle the tip around until it's straight. then tighten. sounds easy, but it's kind of a pain. it works better if you can get a friend to eyeball the tip position while you move the pipe around.
i think the tips look best when they're close (within reason) to the bumper itself. plus, you have more clearance from parking cement slabs or whatever you call them.
Updated shot since the tint and Black OEM's.......Hope you like.....I'm scheduling a photoshoot so will have some more shots up soon........Thanks Dustin @ Mischief

hey thanks man... yes those are Champion Motorsport RG19's....

there is a dozen wheels for the Narrow Body and i think you can have them make you some Custom ones to i think with a Fat Lip...
Many believe that only a RWD narrow track Porsche can turn... But, a little weight transfer makes a widebody 4 rotate very nicely....
Coming into this next photo's braking + turn-entry point, I saw about 110 on the speedo, through the preceeding apex. The extra downforce was quite noticable and appreciated!
9.5 front with 245s with 2" lip and 11.5 in the back with 315s and 4 " lip, titanium finish centers, outers, lips and polished black inners, matched the factory porsche cap so it blends in nicely, also refinished the calipers with lambo orange and matching stripe on the rims, Zone did an awesome job
Hey C4S owners I'm having a bit of withdrawal looking at this thread! I recently sold my '03 C4S and have some left over parts that you might be interested in: Lloyd Mats (new, never used), Tequipment Indoor Car Cover, Turbo II Hollow Spoke wheels/tires. I have pictures available. Please send me a PM with any questions. Thanks. Mark
Pictures of wheels and car covers are available. Please send me a pm with your email address and I'll send them over to you. Lloyd mats are already sold. Thanks.
I apparently can't send a PM because I don't have any posts on this board, but I'm interested in the cover and the wheels, and woul;d like details and pics. Can you PM me?
Thanks, Chris
thanks Doc......I'm actually considering taking off the Wing on the car should I decide to keep it (still up in the air.....want a TT maybe, but the look of the 4S is what is keeping me with her)......
What do you guys think????? Keep the wing or lose it?????
HIGHCard/Ace is really influencing me to go wingless on the rear.....DAMMIT!!~!! I'm so confused...hahaha
Yeah bud, H&R Springs, Stock OEM's w/ 15mm spacers for the rears, 7mm for the fronts (I think I can get away with 14mm spacers in the front and may do so).......
Remember, yours would look great w/ a GT2M wing also.....oh wait, I'm selling mine.....

bro to keep it real here your car is many miles away from looking anything like highcard's ride. you got these ugly black powdercoated stock wheels.... and the wing. that's it. highcard's slammed, 19" LMs pushed to the corners with an aggressive front bumper.
keep the wing, get some better wheels, get some aerobits... something. think of it as a package deal and don't think goign wingless somehow makes your car look better. it's not. it costs $$$ and painfully... time.
Ben - you ever seen Chappelle Show's skit "When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong".....you're waiting for one of those days....
As for Ace's car, in no way, shape or form am I saying that my car looks anything like his.....as for the wheels, I'm a fan of what I got the way it is, so to say they're ugly, I'll take your opinion, but the respect factor is something you need to give out my man....There's some design cues of your car that I don't care for, but I have never given you hell for that....It's what you like and that's it.....
Thanks for the thoughts though......
booch, you know you're free to air that **** out anytime. let's not make it a you hurted my feelings so i'm going to hit u back elementary school bs. your car has no design cues whatsoever dude.
breaking it down Choi style, it's got black powdercoated wheels backyard garage job. some sort of lowering suspension which is cool. some loud obnoxious exhaust. it's ghetto dude. honestly, i would've just kept it bone stock v. what you got going on now.
nevertheless, glad you didn't get your panties in a bunch over my comments. it's about your damn car not your face or your mom. the cool thing is, you have a chance to make positive change.
p.s. i did enjoy your youtube video
Benji,
Feelings aren't hurt brother......not at all.....especially coming from a guy who's avatar pick used to be a "GHETTO" homeboy stance if I recall....
.
As for the loud exhaust, I think it sounds like music to my ears (the way I like it......many may not, including the wife, but I like it). Don't get what the point is of posting some pix up of my car, and you blasting it.....Trust me, I have plenty of people coming around to admire my car and make compliments. Is it the BEST LOOKING one out there, probably not for most, but definitely for me..........
As for making positive change......I do that every day of my life with the people I am in contact with. The car is a passion, but it doesn't run my life dude (I guess like it runs yours). Cars will come and go (some like, some don't like - everyone's entitled to an opinion), but I do believe you need to settle down a bit with your "OPINIONS" b/c it's just not good karma brother.
Much respect my man.....no worries....
