Ride quality 996
sparks2728 replied to sparks2728's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
Thanks guys - I am not wanting a 'magic carpet ride' - I have a BMW E36 touring and an Audi A4 Quattro which are planty comfortable. It's just with 2 children under 6 and a wife - I try to use the 911 as much as possible on the weekends. Track days are not my thing - I would have bought a Caterham and raced it if I wanted a race car and I have competed in the past - I just want the 911 to ride as Porsche wanted (the cynice will say that they supplied 17s as standard so that people would pay the extra for 18s) but I cannot believe with all the R&D they did (including testing by former WRC Champ Walter Rorhl) that the 18s are a better road compromise than 17s. I' off to lower the pressures before getting some 17s though! MN -
Normal Oil Consumption in 996?
sparks2728 replied to tan1894's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
I have low miles C2. I'd say no more than 0.2 litre every 1000 miles. Mine has used 1 litre only between services... MN -
Hi there I'm new to the site and have a standard 2003 996 C2. It runs on 18 inch wheels and the usual 225/40 and 285/30 tyres (P Zero rossos). However, on the British country roads, the ride is harsh to say the least and as the car has more than enough grip i am contemplating sourcing some original 17 inch rims and reverting to the standad 205/50 (f) and 255/40 ® tyre sizes. Can anybody advise if they have done this and whether (in reality or theoretically) it's going to make a big improvement!? MN
