Default My new/old daily driver.

Pics after getting it home, not enough garage space for the C4S so it going to see its first winter storage.








With the winter wheels on.




My camera died so new photos are going to be bad quality coming from my track day video camera.
Some of the older photos taken back in 2007. During a Rennlist meet so it's not a new car to the forum.

The C4S need a litre of oil every fuel up. In the winter is bellows smoke at cold startup. It will come out again when the weather get warmed up but it won't see the track again until it gets fixed.
As for power the C4S don't feel like it has any power now. Also the Turbo's clutch is so much lighter then the C4S. Both have new clutches. It really felt different.

Yes, it will see the track I wouldn't have bought any car that wasn't going to and I will enjoy learning to control the extra hp and torque.

Yes it was. He knows more about it then I do. I know it has PSS9's and the exhaust modified. New clutch, ignition coils, alternator rebuild, battery and rotors.

Driving out with the support vehicle to put the C4S away for the winter.



Of course that was to good to last. So much for putting it away clean and dry.





Picked up a camping foam mat at Cnd Tire and made my own cheap mats. I doubled the front and quadrupled the rears. I over inflated the tires just to be safe.





Fuelled up with V-power and added a fuel stabilizer. Pulled the battery out and put it in the support vehicle. Thank god the Cayenne came with a wrench in the tool kit that fits the battery clamp.




Not fancy, it breathable and just there to keep the dust off once the door it closed and locked.
Nighty, night.

Thanks all, yes 996 Turbo's are a great bang for the buck. Though a C6 Z06 is also but not the same at all.
