Default New Car..Couple questions..

Hey guys.. I purchased a new to me 04 C4S a couple weeks ago (although I was only able to drive it on the test drive as I left town as soon as it was delivered).

A couple threads here got me thinking about exactly what specs my car has (I assumed it was 345hp but seeing the other threads maybe it is only the 315hp)..

Here is a print out of the original options list and the price for my car when new..


Can anyone explain all the options (I assumed with the original purchase price it is fairly loaded).. Note I am in Canada so that price is CDN dollars.. Mainly curious about the custom tailoring code? I know its got the carbon interior package/ect. But maybe there is some other stuff that I didn't notice.

Also when reviewing my maintenance records a couple things I wasn't sure about..
1. REPLACE CABTOP MOTOR AS DIAGNOSED ON LAST RO - SUBMIT PGAT
2. PERFORM PORSCHE MAJOR MAINTANENCE EVERY 4 YEARS OR 60,000KM
These the the ones I am not sure about what they are (and fairly recent services).. #1 I would think maybe a vert motor but the issue is mine is a coupe.. and just curious what is included in the major 4 year maintanence?

Thanks guys

You can see here what the recommended maintenance schedule is. Probably also in your owners manual booklet if you got one.

Will do once I get home.. Only have one bad pic right now.. I believe the small CF is just the radio trim then the parking brake/shifter are CF. But ill post up some pics once I get back this weekend..

Sounds like an awesome car - full leather is definitely the ticket. Z099 could be deviated stitching on the steering wheel or the thicker wheel option...

Saaaaweet!!!!! Wow, you got a nice car there mister! The white dials work very well with the black interior. I'll try to look up that "Custom Tailor" code, but that one is new to me. I would imagine you have some unique stitching or something as 5CH3LL mentions.

Yeah the white dials were a must for me. I find sometimes the black dials can be tough to read depending on the time of day (my gallardo can be a real pain sometimes with the black gauges)..

Let me know what you find out as im curious on the options. I guess it does have the normal 315hp engine/tuning?

Any idea on the cabtop motor replacement??

Thanks

That's prolly referring to the sunroof motor/mechanism. I wouldn't sweat it. I'm pretty sure you don't have a cabriolet. hahahahaha!

The porsche was a struggle to get.. We had to get her a new car (mini countryman) and I had to sell my Mercedes CL65.. And most likley I will be selling my supercharged E46 330ci.. Wanted to get something fun to drive all weather.. So as long as I cleared out a car and the wife gets something new shes happy..haha
