Default First Post - My '98 993 C4S

Hi all,
have been reading the site for a while and thought I should post and say Hello. This car is pretty new to me and I may be doing some upgrades soon and looking for advice...

-Needing new tires this fall and open to advice on brand, etc.
-the weather stripping around the driver door is pretty warn out. doesnt bother me but wondered if extra moisture getting in could be a problem down the road.

Love this car.. well, thank you all for your great posts and looking forward to enjoying more of your great cars and information.

some iPhone pictures...

Yes ! Polar Silver. Black interior.

Polar Silver Metallic (more expensive silver paint option) with Black Leather and Brushed Aluminum Trim


Here is a list of the options on the car. Honestly - some seem pretty standard equipment but I am not sure how these cars were really sold in 1998 - did it most likely come from the factory and someone picked it out of a showroom like this.. or did someone sit down with a list and pick all these options? either way .. whoever put it all together in '98 totally nailed it for me.
M032 – Touring suspension
M058 – Impact absorbers, front and rear
M139 – Seat heating system, left seat

M159 – Engine sound package

M413 – 18-inch Turbo-Look wheels
M454 – Automatic speed control
M490 – Sound package
M491 – Turbo Look Carrera 4S
M520 – Passenger compartment monitoring
M529 – Anti-drive-off feature 315 MHz
M534 – Theft security system

A C4S with sports seats, litronics, motor sound, turbo twists (albeit solid) and stainless accents... Doesn't get much better!

I'm intrigued with the "anti-drive-off feature." Does this mean no immobilizer from the factory?

Enjoy your 993 in good spirits!

Ahhhh man. Your C4S came with a/c??????

Seriously, though, I love my 96C4S (polar silver) with sport seats. Just love it.

Welcome, Brian
