Hello from a new Carrera S owner

[rottenbend]

Just got my PCGB membership through - thought I'd introduce myself and my car.

I bought a 993 Carrera S a couple of weeks ago. My first Porsche and so far so good (brilliant in fact). []

The car is a 1997 P reg with 75k on the clock

Zenith Blue/Black Leather with the following options:
X71 Aluminium Dials
373 Sports Seat - Passenger side
374 Sports Seat - Drivers side
425 Rear Wiper
567 Top Tinted Windscreen
573 Air Conditioning
602 Third Brake Light
650 Sun Roof
659 On Board Computer

Factory standard - new clutch and suspension (M033 kit) in the last 20k miles

Hey Dyllan, how do you go about getting a cert of authenticity? I've not heard about this before

Matt

Send us an email to dongawoy@btinternet.com and i will send you back an application form for the certificate. As dyllan say's, free of charge to porsche club gb members, around £60 to everyone else. I got mine through the post today also, a nice addition to the history.

Oh and by the way very nice car andrew, welcome to the club. Do you know if the car was spec'd when new with cup alloys rather than the turbo style one's?

Hi Neil

Yes it came with 17" Cups. As I understand it the 18" hollow spokes were an extra although most cars seemed to have been specced that way or have had them added at a later date. I'll be keeping the 17"s for now anyway.

I won't be selling it to anyone for a long time!

Of course the C4S always rolled on 18" solid spokes. The C2S had 17" as standard - and some say that it rides and handles better that way []. At the moment, I quite like the fact that it's different from most other WB cars.

Good for you[]... looks a very nice car - have fun!
That first pic of it (from the rear) looks like it'd never fit in the garage[].

There's nowt wrong with 17" cups, I reckon they look good on your car. They are a more comfortable ride, less tramlining, lighter weight, wear cheaper tyres and look the bees knees in my view.

PS they are also the original fitment to your car, which is nice.

Very, very nice and well done, welcome to the S club []

Like all above comments - wow - she does look good.

PS - personally I like the wheels you have!
