A good number of folks like the B&M Short Shifter. I have one on my car.

The B&M is neither taller or shorter than the standard shifter.

Does the leather housing still cover the B&M shifter just like the stock?

Is there a particular B & M model#?

Thanks for a great site Loren.

2002 C4S Standard

Curious, who has installed a short shifter in a 996 2002 C4S 6speed standard and which one would you recommend and does anyone have photos of their finished install? I know some are taller/shorter etc.

Thanks in adavance

That is what I thought. Next purchase 480hp 997 turbo that should do the trick.

2002 C4S manual

Does changing the stock plenum to an after market one give the engine any boost in noticeable performance and if so how much?

Thanks

Thanks Misha for a quality product.

I have a 2002 C4S coupe and looking to upgrade to the newer turbo wheels. I can get them in 18" or 19" I would just like some opinions on what to go with. I use this car as a driver it is not tracked.

Thanks in advance

I did check the owners manual. I was just looking for some opinions or experiences on the issue.

I need an answer on running fuel with 10% ethanol? Will this hurt the engine? I have a 2002 C4S coupe and it requires 93 octane but in the U.S. at the pump where I live the highest is 91, but there is a station that sells 100 octane 10% ethanol fuel and I was going to blend this with the 91 to make the minimum 93 octane. I was actually going to blend to 95. My only question is the Ethanol going to be a problem and should I not worry about it? I know in some states and cities that 10% ethanol is mandatory certain times of the year.

Thanks in advance for your help.

For a daily driver I am asking the forum what you would recommend for a daily driver tire. This has not and will not be tracked. I have a 2002 C4S with 18" wheels and P-zero's which are getting ready to be replaced I like the look and feel of the P-Zero but they are quite noisy.

Thanks in advance

I have a 2002 C4S coupe with 18" turbo look wheels, I really like the look of the new turbo wheels which are as follows: Forged Alloy 8.5Jx19 ET 56 Front and 11Jx19 ET 51 Rear will these fit the 2002 C4S?

Thanks

Thanks in adavance

I was told by my dealer that these brakes like to be used aggressively and just driving around town will tend to make them squeak for you are not really getting on them. 2002 c4s

Thanks for all of your help on this wross996TT. You have been very helpful.

oh you mean this:

Methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT) It is sold under the tradenames HiTec 3000 and AK-33X.

here are the VP spec sheets:

VP PDF

I see no mention of MMT.

MMT is not a leaded based product. It is just a way that refiners use to get Octane. Queston is do you know if VP contains MMT?

Thanks

Once again it depends on the type. The 100 octane VP has no lead. See here:

VP

This is regarding MMT in gasoline. The owners manual says not to run gas with MMT. Even though it says not to is it OK? I beleive it damages the catalytic converter? Does anyone know if VP has MMT in it?

Thanks

2002 C4S coupe manual (only mod on engine is PSE)

I know in the manual it says to run a minimum of 93 octane gasoline. Here in the western US most premium is only 91 octane. I have a place that is going to be putting in a pump site with 100 octane unleaded race fuel legal for the street. My question is should I blend the 91 with the 100 to make 93 or would I be just better off using the 100 octane straight. If your car is not built with the compression to take full advantage of the octane you are just throwing your money down the drain. Any help here would be great. I asked the dealer about 91 and he said it would be ok just a little loss in performance would not hurt the engine.

Also, alot of race fuel gets the higher octane by using MMT in their blends. In the manual it says not to use gasoline with MMT in it. MMT supposedly damages the catalytic converter. Any advice on this also.

Thanks for you help in advance

I had the same issue as mpikounis and just replaced the sending unit and everything was fine. Just as long as you don't get the red warning idiot light you are fine to drive. Just the sending unit. If the idiot like comes on you have a problem.

I have been seeing advertisements about software upgrades for your car through the trade rags. Do these upgrades work and give horse power or do you need to add headers, pipe etc to realize anything and do they keep the cars reliability in check?

Just wondering.

2002 C4S with 45,000 miles with no problems. Had RMS issue 2 months after it was new in 2002 and no issues since.

i have it on my C2. Great wing, looks and build wise.

I have a aero kit on though and a front lip, since i do track the car and often are over 100+ while driving (lots of hwy 5).

I had the taco on before and just didnt like it. I like the way the gt2 wing flattens out the rear of the car, making it more squat to the ground. Mine fits up great, finish was very good, and it was about 1600 or so with paint.

Your car looks great with the gt2 wing and aero kit. In your opinion, since I do not track my car, but is more of a daily driver. Would I be OK with the gt2 wing on my c4s without the aero kit on the front or sides of the car?

Thanks

Opinions differ naturally, but the only wing I would ever put on my car was something similar to Mishas GT2 replica.

I dont like the aerokit wings, and this one looks great imho. Your milage may vary.

That wing looks great on the c4s even without the aerokit all the way around. What is the retail price on the Misha GT2?

Thanks for your input

Mishas minimal site - http://www.996wings.com/

A DYI for the install - http://www.funcarsonline.com/gallery/album26

I think it sells for around $1200-1300 + a paintjob.

Beware - it might look good on its own, but it generates lots of downforce. Without a frontwing you might get an ustable car at high speeds. Goes for most all rear wings. If you never drive above 65, then no problem ;-)

Does anyone have any experience with this wing on a c2 or a c4s without the full areokit? How unstable did it make the car at high speeds? This car is not tracked it is for everyday driving just like the look of the wing.

Thanks

2002 C4S Manual

I am looking to put a fixed rear wing on my 2002 C4S. Anyone that has a wing on their P-Car that would work on the C4S could you post a pic.

Or give me any recomendations you might have would be great. I have seen a few in Excellence magazine, but they only show the wings and I would like to see them on the car.

Thanks
