Matthew, UK, Buckinghamshire. 2021 Jet Black Metallic C4S Coupe (992.1). Daily, so always filthy, DMS map (+98 BHP), Dissident fixed ducktail.

911 is truly my happy place - I'll use any excuse to drive it, whether 3 minutes to get milk, or hours to visit a customer. Work for a Californian tube amp manufacturer, and often seen shoe-horning amp heads and combos into the 911. To date, current record is fitting the following in:

2 Heads (rear shelf, rear seats down), 1 combo (frunk), 2 roller banners (in the back), gear bag, also in the back, various pedals and a coat. Passenger seat still free so could have fit a combo, head, cab or rack on there. The ultimate practical sports car.

I love good stories and yours fits the bill. 👍

Also, the line about "any excuse to drive it" is what it's all about. Very nice!! Welcome to Carpokes!

I am James from West Vancouver, B.C. Canada. I am new to Porsche. I have been a corvette fan all my life but decided to try Porsche - 2023 911 4S coupe - very low mileage with too may options to mention. I have since had a ARP stage 1 tune, a Akrapovic exhaust, OEM side skirts and Forgelite lightweight wheels fitted - designed for my car with the proper offset. Quite happy with it. Still getting use to the 911 and look forward to interacting with those on this forum.

Super cool mods James! I think you'll love the 911. The more you drive it the more you'll appreciate its many features and attributes. :thumbup: Prior Corvette guy here too - C2, C6s, C7 - all great cars but I love my Porshees! They just run and run and run.

Thank you! Just discovered your 992 door card replacement info - Gold! Planning to take mine off as it's getting rattly, and bit nervous about messing it up.

Hello,

I am Jeff. I'm living in France near to Paris. Since 2015, I own a Porsche 944 turbo almost full stock (except a WG Tial F38). I manage maintenance and reparing by myself.

I discovered Carpokes few days ago. I already read a lot of very interresting posts. In the next comming monthes, I'm going to make some changes as A-Tune kit installation, Storch MAF installation, LR fuel rail and so on. I will probably need your support especially about KLR chip tuning...

I will do my best to write in an understandable English :)

See you,
Jeff
