    The new HOT tire in town is the Michelin PilotSport 2, a N2 rated tire. :thumbup: :cheers:
  3. SFBayArea Jimmy

    Carlsen has a oil/filter change special for $118.78, add on other filters & services might still save you a cool couple hundred $. I think it's closer to where you live too. :cheers:

    WoW, this sounds like a bargain when compare to the power kit. :rolleyes:

    Looks very nice indeed. I am worry about the reflections it creates under sunlight. :cheers:

    You are the man! Loren. Q. I assume the C4S already have the third radiator?

    :welcome: Congratulations on your new ride. Looking forward to your driving impressions/comparisions between your new sexy ride & the 3.4 'Super' Boxster. :cheers:

    I settled on 35/40 after some experimenting. C4S PilotSport N1, stock suspsension. :cheers:

    The 1999 996 C4 cab has the 3.4 Litre engine, which produce 300 hp but has to haul 3200lb. 0-62mph should be around 5.4 second. The 2001 Boxster S has the 3.2 Litre engine, 250 hp available for 2855lb, 0-62mph around 5.9 seconds. The C4 is faster but not by much, and I bet the boxster is probably faster in 0-30. I think you'll be much happier if you got the C2 cab especially with the 3.6 Litre engine. ( from MY02 on ) The extra 340 lbs AND the feel of the all wheel drive system combined make the C4 cab FEELS sluggish when compared to a very tosable and nimble Boxster S. Take your C4 out on a rainy/snowy day, you may think otherwise :cheers:

    Jimmy, Not all tires are created equal, some manufactures are doing a better job than others. I have Michelin PilotSport N1 OEM (yes, very lucky) on my 03 C4S, 9200 miles. very happy with it. Having tried many tires/brands over the years, it's hard to beat Michelin PilotSport. :thumbup:

    yellow2k, "tire pressure about 30-32 psi warm on Contis." ?? I think your tire pressure is too low and that would make the flat-spot a lot bigger and the vibration as a result, a lot stronger. From the manual, Tire Pressure for 17" is 36/36 cold. & 18" is 36/44 cold.

    Thx for the link, Jeff. One more board to spend the time I don't have :) back to work

    Hi Vic, if your dealer gave your baby the clean bill of health, I won't worry too much. I would try a bottle of Techron in a full tank of Chevron gas just BEFORE your next oil change and please give us a update. :cheers:

    We live in the BayArea, never seen snow, the day time temperatures range from the low 50sF in winter to 100F for a few days in summer. As a year round oil, the M1 0W40 may be too thin for summer but then the M1 15W50 may be too thick for winter? In addition, I heard from some oil boards, according to the experts there, the M1 15W50 is a much better oil than the M1 0W40. May be the better solution for us in the BayArea is a mixed 50/50 of the two M1s? any thoughts?? :)

    Oops, naughty fingers... Now, does it mean RMS is History for M96 engines/cars after March 2003? :unsure:
  18. SFBayArea Jimmy
    Great job on RMS! Tool Pants. Now,

    Congratulation on your forum, Loren & Jeff. I love it! :thumbup: My C4S is only 6 weeks old, I am wondering if Custom Service does warrenty services? But if the dealers fail, I'll definitely give them a call. Thankyou. :cheers:

    Hi all. My 03 C4S drift to the right on long straight divided Hwys- worse on far right lane than on far left since day one. Dealer checked and confirmed a slight normal pull due to road crown, so it's NORMAL, and I am not buying it, because my other cars don't have the same problem. Please help! :(
