[adood84]

Hope the RS4 is as much fun to drive as the M. ;)

[AJ.]

I was thinking 911 Turbo.

[robinh20mrv]

wrong.........not a audi..........

[robinh20mrv]

nor a turbo.......WAY to expensive, this a stop gap untill i get my 430 next year :)

[AJ.]

430 very nice! Got any jobs going Rob, I make an amazing cuppa :D

[robinh20mrv]

justin has beat you too it!!! HE needs a csl!!!

[peppernick]

One vulture has successfully struck!

Still, plenty of flesh left ......... :D

[adood84]

[robinh20mrv]

[PAUL ///M3]

Robin , am i right in thinking thats a Porsche? id even put myself out and say a 996!?

Paul

[robinh20mrv]

perhaps......

[mikem]

So its a 4wd 996 non turbo and I`m willing to bet, its not the skinny one. :D

[J13JUT]

you see the m3 has been forgotten about already and its not even gone yet !!

[Raja_SMGII]

Congrats on the C4S - the PSE exhaust burbling around town is intoxicating!

[phat///M3]

Sad to see the car being put back to stock Robin, it was amazing how fast the mods pilled on.

Am sure the new ride will be just as good or even better.

PM sent.

[cableguy]

Welcome to the Pork side :D C4S is a great looking car, now hurry and give us details on colour, year, options etc. ;)

How about a little Supercharging... :cool:

[Mud]

[J13JUT]

[peppernick]

Congrats Robin! :cool: Gorgeous car!

Looks like a good financial year :D

[mikem]

I rekon Fas should change your username to "yuppie" :p




Car looks fantastic mate. :cool:

[444bhp Ray]

great looking car m8.Can't go wrong with that sweet ride.:cool:

[TUBS]

Nice one Robin, when Graham posted a porker on detailing world I knew it was yours !!!

[huzi7]

awesome car mate. congratulations!

[cableguy]

Looking good. :cool:

997TT Wheels, are you sure... :confused: won't look right on the 996 IMO. Go aftermarket, BBS Racing Wheels look the absolute dogs on the 996 and are available in both 18" & 19" sizes. ;)

I've got a set of 18" GT2 Wheels if your interested, 12" Rears & 8.5" Fronts to really fill those arches out... :cool:

C.

[bmwboy73]

Very nice motor Robin...I thought you were lusting after a black TT??

:)

[CA Automotive UK]

Traitor Traitor Traitor ......:d :d

[lee330sport]

Id leave the wheels, suit the 996 to the ground. Maybe go for the GT3 kit. Either way that looks Hot!

The car looks tiny next to you in the pic!

[robinh20mrv]

Very nice motor Robin...I thought you were lusting after a black TT??

:)

to expensive at 55k, i am very poor, sheepdog to feed, the crofts not doing well, hungry children, ect ect ect :)

[robinh20mrv]

Traitor Traitor Traitor ......:d :d

so what do eiesman do for the 996 C4S then roy.......hmmmmmmmmm??

its a new direction for you!! you will thank me in the end!!

[ccfj1]

Nice motor Robin, same colour as me mates 996 anniversary.

[SJD]

Lovely car Robin - really looks the part.

Slightly OT I know - but did you used to post on the old AntandPete forum?

[phat///M3]

Looks hot m8, def a winner!

[Raja_SMGII]

These things weigh such little and most remarkably [documented somewhere, can't be arsed to search lol], they lose very little power through the 4x4 drive-train in contrast to say VW/Audi haldex/quattro ....... Lovely car Robin, many congrats :)

[Raj]

Stunning ride. Great choice and looks like a fine example. As others have said, don't go 997 rims.....BBS....:cool: :cool: :cool:

[popsy360]

hi how does it compare to the m3 in terms of speed?

[Doug_fire]

Are you keepin' the M3, without the mods, or are you selling it? Nice new motor anyways.

[Chaos]

Post #1
The m3 is going in the next day or two
I'm guessing that he's not keeping it. ;)

[Doug_fire]

Post #1

[Scholesy]

[robinh20mrv]

of course its ok m8!! its your demonstrater after all, i would have posted myself but i have been so busy getting all the new parts ordered!!

one day old and the first bits are on there way!!!

[robinh20mrv]

Stunning ride. Great choice and looks like a fine example. As others have said, don't go 997 rims.....BBS....:cool: :cool: :cool:

i am lookin at 996 gt2 wheels 12 inch wide on the rear FFS!!! 315/30 tires!!

[mikem]

Graham, do you travel ? I sent you a PM before but you mustn`t have got it.

[robinh20mrv]

hi how does it compare to the m3 in terms of speed?

dont know yet m8, off up to gairloch for the weekend, a wee highland fling!!
i will let you all know!!
i much prefer the porker to the m3 though, you feel so much more planted, ie stuck to the ground!

i have just bought oem gt3 seats in the magenta blue, the same as the original interior, so they should give a lot more suport over the sport seats i have now, so thats the start of the spending!! £1200 in the first day!!!

yes m8, he is usualy in edinburgh doing my car, its done every week if i am home!!

[popsy360]

hi i know the turbo blows the m3 but was wandering how the c4s would compare! Must say i prefer the sound of the c4s to the turbo though

[robinh20mrv]

I would have no fear from a std M3 or csl in the porker :) a delimited m3/csl may have the legs on my car 175mph over 180+mph in a beemer, but the 4would would kick ass in the wet (imho) of course!!

but then again i am bonkers!! and the porker has MUCH better brakes!

Better than your brembos on the M3? :eek:

[Silver]

Better than your brembos on the M3? :eek:

Brembo are standard on his Porsche...

[robinh20mrv]

well.........

i have 6 pot brembos on the porker, but a smaller disc area, and 4 brand new sets of pads and dics, they are the same as the turbo brakes, BUT.

so far i would say the M3 brembos are the winners :) they are the daddys!!
perhaps that will change once they bed in, but the M3 brembos as the best brakes i have ever used without doubt!

but the porky brakes and WAY better than std M3 brakes!!

I can vouch for that, I test drove 3 M3's last week with standard brakes, for a car with so much power they're terrible :eek: , standard Porky brakes (even on my Coxster) are much better than standard M3 brakes. :cool:

[RoRu]

Robin your are a unstoppable modding machine!


Love the 996, As much as I like the e46 M, I've always had a soft spot for the 911.

If i ever win the lotto I'm definitely looking for a 993 GT2 :D

[churchwa]

Does anyone know the difference in running costs between the C4S and the Turbo?

[robinh20mrv]

i dont know m8, but the 966 C4S is getting 15mpg round town.........

yes 15 mpg :) :)

i am off up the highlands tomorrow to see a sheepdog and giving the porkey a "wee run" i will let you know what the mpg is when i get back :)

[kpkpkp]

I shocked you say that - the all the Boxsters and Boxster S' I have driven have had poo brakes - no where near as good as the standard M3 brakes - The 911 breaks on the C4S are awesome though they seem to slow the car down in an abnormally fast fashion - very nice but then they were made for a mega powered 996 Turbo so they should be fappin good.
