Default New Owner Intro- Iris Blue C4S

Hey guys, I picked up my 96 Iris Blue C4S a few months back. I've been lurking here and making the occasional comment, but haven't properly introduced myself yet. The first thing I did was to bring the car back to the shop that completed my PPI and sort out a few things. Clutch was nearly worn and replaced. A leak was fxed in the case through bolts. I know most people live with this, but I thought to get the car completely sorted since I had some extra funds from a trade. Also installed are Coco Mats, Fabspeed xpipes, Fabspeed 200 cell cats, and Fabspeed tips. I have to adjust the tips, but most likely will send my mufflers to FD for the Fister upgrade. I think Stage 2....

Lastly, I also purchased a Porsche Classic radio so I can have bluetooth capabilities. I think the car is set for now, but going to have some Hartman Twists rebuilt soon for next years look. In the meantime, just enjoying the car! Such a pleasure to drive and can't believe I waited this long. Here are some quick shots I took yesterday...

Can a mod edit the title? It should state "intro"

Most Likely, but probably a tad more aggressive.

Nicely done. I would love to add the Fabspeed xpipes and 200 cells to my Fister IIIs.

Beautiful car! You’ll love the sport cats/Fister 2 combo.

Car already look spectacular with those BBS wheels! But a set of Hartmann are def unique nowadays, I think I know what you have in mind.

Congrats.

"some quick shots I took". LOL. Beautiful car and great pics. Thank you.

I recommend you find a member near you and hear the exhaust. I have the Fister 3's and love them -- but I also have the stock cats. The sport cats and x-pipes change the equation (much louder), so you may want to hear a car with the set-up to get a better feel. I'd probably start with the Fister 2's.

The other thing to think about, you can turn a Fister 2 into a Fister 3, but you can't go backwards...

More pictures please!

Nice ride, OP, congrats!
I may be picking up a widebody soon and am new to Hartmann (or any) Twists...
Is there a "right" direction for the spokes? or is one side forward-facing and the other rear-facing?
Just noticed on these two beauties that the two sides shown go in opposite directions...
