A newbie, a foreigner and his 997 C4S

[Finne]

Spring is here

Hi Guys,

Winter is now gone and summer is getting closer. After 5 months hiatus, she has been now back on traffic for a week!

Not much happened during the winter, added rear Dectanes and I am now baffling about what DRL's should I get + interior LED's?

Good news are that I got the big service done on last Friday and on top of the usual stuff, I got LTT , waterpump and new design OEM coils installed and cylinders checked/filmed out with the stetoscope ( or how you call it). And all is GOOD 8) !!! No marks etc , nothing.

It was such a blast to drive her back with sun shining and after a longish winter it felt such a priviledge of owning one of these beautiful engineered masterpieces (911 as a concept).

After autumn's Turbo test drives I suffered a lot of turbo itch, but finally ended up of changing my DD to year old very sensible triple turbo'd F15M50D ( :mrgreen: ).

I was already settling to keep her, but after the weekends B-roads blast out with my mate, I just got an decent buy offer from him, that makes me wondering again.. keep it, Turbo, keep it, Turbo...

Bloody hell, I am reasonable chap in normal terms, but what comes to cars, heart gets ticking and all the sense gets thrown out of the window..

Phil, pls get me the link for good DRL's , I need to buy some stuff for her, NOW! :floor:

Finne ,
hei hyvठkuulla sinusta

There are a couple of places to get the front DRLs , one is dectane the other is DM autoleile.

To get the full DRL function you also need the dectane wireing loom which will work on either set you buy. this will work as follows . the lower LEDs work on the ignition and are on as DRLs, if you turn on your headlights the DRLs dip to 50% and if you put your fogs on the centre strip also lights up. this for me is a far better operation than just the centre strip working as a DRL and everything going off if you turn your headlights on.

I brought my lights from dm-autoteile and the wiring loom from dectane.

Avoid the really cheap DRLs as they are not as bright .

oh yes and you might want some of these
