Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 9Original post

Hey, thanks Alec4s911, itacud and boochook First, I guess I should have been more creative in my User Name! I liked this combo when I saw it. It is way more retro look than most of the 996s I see, but I am kind of retro too. Like I mentioned earlier, I really like the old E-Type Jag (XKE) and I think the overall feel is kind of similar--really sensual lines. Here are a couple better interior shots. The think I like about this is that the original owner did not just add a wood piece here or there, they are really tied together well. I thought the interior color went with the exterior pretty well too.

Hey guys! Its been awhile since I posted...not even sure if this is the right place to ask. Anyways, I recently moved to Austin for a short-term contract and saw this 03 C4S at a small dealer by my apt. Spoke with sales and everything seems to be on the up and up (i.e. service records, carfax, one owner). Asking price is low $30ks with ~91k miles. I do plan to get a PPI if I decide to pull the trigger on this one...but what less obvious issues should I worry about besides RMS? Here's some shots of the car... http://signature-auto-leasing.ebizau...aigsList&pid=1

Quote: car looks really nice. I love my 03 C4S, which is almost a mirror image of this car. only differences are the exhaust tips and grey interior with alum dials. only issue was a dead battery, probably from the car sitting before I bought it, and resulting alternator replacement. I bought mine this year with just over 14k miles. you won't be disappointed with this car, imho. hope it works out for you.

Hey Guys and Gals, Well, I'm back from the "dark side." After three years of Corvettes I've just taken delivery of an 04 C4S Cab. My P Cars before this one were a 996 C2 Coupe, a 993 C2 Cab, a 964 Cab and a Boxster S. This one is light years better than what came before it. Sorry for the lousy pics but I'll get better ones when it's not the first day of the car Oh, and yes I realize that they are mostly a$$ shots, butt it's her best feature. Take Care, Joe Cortney

Quote: Thanks, I agree. My problem is I can't figure out anything to do to it. I mean, the first change is usually the cans. I had Fabspeeds on the last car and was all set to order a pair, then Porsche has to go and surprise the hell out of me with the Sport Exhaust. It sounds just perfect to my ears and no resonance at all. Next, would have been painting the console... nope that's done too.. The shoes are brand new so can't make a change there... Ah, here's one, no NAV! Ok, that can be handled this weekend (Kenwood 8120). That leaves only wheels.. ok, something I can sink my teeth into but how long can that take. What am I going to do once that's done.... This is a real problem. Joe

POST 69Original post

I agree there's lots of little things. Clear side lights, Red S for the rear, painted non-smoker kit, short shift kit, C4S mats... all that crap is ordered. I think the body is perfect the way it is so, no wings for me. Tires and wheels will take a bit of shopping. Lowering, well I need to talk to some folks first to hear how it will effect the ride and handling. Can't do much to the engine as I don't want to void the Certified warranty. 100 cell cats, that might work. Cold air with an ECU upgrade might work as well but, I'd really love to find someone with a 4 wheel dyno so that it can be tuned properly. Anyway, like I said, lots of little things. I guess the wheels/tires will be something I can sink my teeth into for a while. I welcome any and all suggestions on how to spend my disposable income before Nancy Pelosi takes all of it.
