Be aware that the TT is more expensive to insure and maintain given all the pieces parts taking up space back there. That said, I was extremely close to picking up an '04 TT Cab before ending up with mu C4S.

I've come back from a test drive and had a friend come along to check the car out.the main concern was A noise coming from the front drive train. Sounds like a whining noise. Initially thought it was the tires but think it could have been the front drive shaft. Is this a common fault or something anyone could share thoughts?

Update: I held out and managed to find a really nice 2004 C4S in great shape with 75k on the odometer. IMS was already done, plenty of old receipts and PPI complete with no issues found. Collected it yesterday and smile hasn't left my face. Awesome motor. BIG THANKS to everyone who offered advice and help. Really appreciate it. More posts to follow!

Congrats on finding your 911. Looks pretty clean. Pop the frunk, and get the option codes off the white sticker behind the latch on the lid. Post em up and we'll sort it out.

That's a sharp eye. Yes it's a Lotus Europa S2. Just completed a complete restoration on it. (95% complete I should say).

Kit car! I had a Renault powered one when I left the army back in the day. I recall taking the front bumper off, and it was literally chromed molded plastic with some fiberglass in it. No wonder the car only weighed about 1200Lbs. I hope you aren't to tall!

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have done some searching on here but not really clear on which way to go.
I'm looking to have my IPhone connected to the stereo to make and receive calls. Music would be a bonus, but more for the calls.
I see there is a Bluetooth device or go for a new double din unit. Is there a preferred route to go? I am guessing technology is changing by the month on stereos so thought to check.

Can you take some pictures of your system and the frunk amp? I'm assuming it's the stock MOST based system... maybe even the BOSE setup? Is the current HU a PCM2 or CDR23? Adding phone support can be done numerous different ways, but it all depends on your expectations and amount of money you're willing to spend.
