:welcome: You'll certainly find this forum a lot more focused than 6 Speed. Tell us about yourself and your car.

i learned to love cars from my dad who was a master mechanic. he tweaked every car he owned. i must have inherited the gene. paid my dues in sweat and scraped knuckles on my '66 mustang. (gone but not forgotten.) i'm a computer geek to pay the bills. lately i've been reading bosch manuals about engine control software and playing with dynosim modeling my porsche's 3.6L engine. i don't pull wrenches on my 911 except for basic maintenance if absolutely necessary. i do like detailing it. kind of zen thing for weekend afternoons.

my first p-car was a 2003 boxsterS. best handling car i've ever driven. for a number of reasons, i decided to move up to a 911. did some research reading fora like this one and other web sources. my budget put me in a 996. found a CPO 2003 Carrera 4S at a dealership in dallas with 39K miles and went for it.

my car is:

MY: 2003

BS: C4S coupe

TR: 6 speed

Color: Arctic Silver/Black

Options:

342 Heated Front Seats.

446 Wheel Caps with Colored Crest.

513 Lumbar Support-Right Seat .

586 Lumbar Support-Left Seat.

680 Bose Surround Sound System .

692 Remote CD Changer.

982 Soft Ruffled Leather Seat .

E82 Aluminum Look Interior Small.

M6A Black Mats - Porsche lettering .

P74 Bi-Xenon Headlamp Package.

X54 Stainless Steel Exhaust Pipes .

X71 Aluminum Instrument Dials .

XCE Rear Center Console Aluminum-Look.

XSC Porsche Crest in Headrest.

XSU Lowered Seats (-10 mm)

Y06 Aluminum/Leather Shifter/Brake Handle

Mods:

Softronic ECU flash

IPD plenum

K&N drop-in air filter

Agency Power coated SS brake lines

Bumper plugs in front

Color matched bumperettes in back

Planned Mods:

Turbowerx headers

Fabspeed mufflers

my car is a daily driver. i don't track it. but i do enjoy spirited jaunts around the central texas hill country. i'm a good driver, but i know i could be better, so thinking about doing a DE weekend to help me safely find my limits and (maybe) the car's limits.

cheers,

vick

XSU Lowered Seats (-10 mm)

Congrats and welcome, sounds like a nice ride, pictures are always welcome too, ha.

Haven't heard of that option before, wish I had it.

yeah,

i hadn't heard of the lowered seats option either. apparently it's popular with track guys because it gives more headroom for the helmet. i don't track my car, but i'm 6'2" so i like the 10mm extra headroom.

car needs detailing. then i'll post some pics. :)

I just woke up!!! Welcome to Renntech, Vick. I think this Forum has more knowledge at its disposal than all the other Porsche Forums combined. While we're not necessarily a "show off your car" forum, your ride sounds great!

Pic?

loren,

yep. that's my understanding too. the seat cushion is thinner. it's firm, but still comfortable.

don,

thanks. i've already gotten valuable info from this site. i'll snap a couple photos after i wash the car tomorrow.

NICE! Arctic (or Polar) Silver is my favorite. My 02 Cab is Artic.

That's a great car. There is nothing so relaxing is driving your Pcar home after work. It sure takes the stress away!
