put the car into sport plus the Sport plus, PDCC, Exhaust switch and the start stop all light up.....then press the PDCC button OFF (think about it...that's why there's a button).....voila.....all the sport plusness (Extra revs, Suspension etc.) but no active ARB Stiffening.....it's pretty much as the exhaust you can have Sport Plus but you can turn the exhaust to quiet if you want........the systems are fairly adaptive to what you want up to a point.......
Think all you're doing is putting the dampers back into normal mode, PDCC is still active.

The button isn't to turn it off it's to turn the dampers to sport (firmer) mode, when the button is 'off' the dampers are in normal mode. The switch is confusing as it's labeled PDCC but it's not an on/off switch as far as I know. The button works exactly the same as the as the pasm damper button on a car without PDCC but I'm pretty sure PDCC is active all the time - it's simply a switch between normal damper stiffness and sport dampers which are firmer.

Yep, I've just checked in the Drivers Manual (always helps to RTFM) and it states 'No seperate controls are available for the PDCC system'.

That little button with a shock absorber symbol and PDCC on it, only toggles the PASM mode from 'Chassis Normal' to 'Chassis Sport' - with either option, PDCC stablisitation is always on.

I have an Agate Grey one, bought from Swindon in November last year, GTS, PDK sunroof, colour coded skirts etc. They dropped me a line yesterday asking if I was interested in selling it......
Maybe.
If you are interested in selling your GTS could you let me know, many thanks

Jordan by any chance? He's trying to sell it to me!

I'm after black so told him I wasn't interested. Nice enough guy though and working hard to try to get me a car.

Absolutely stunning. I have the aero spoiler on top of the ducktail but may remove the rear aero spoiler as i feel it ruins the lines?

I'd agree on that one. The ducktail is fine but I actually prefer it with nothing.

Absolutely love the duck tail. I have the aero rear spoiler on top of the duck tail which I am not sure about. May remove it next summer.

How is the hunt going for the 991.1 GTS? Stunning Guards Red in the classifieds.

Its going but not very successfully at the moment. Ive just parted with a Guards Red GT4 so want another colour. Carmine is fine as is blue, silver or black but has to be the right spec including GTS interior pack and lowish miles.

They don't seem to be moving at the moment. There are 9 on the locator and its been that way for a while.

Quick question. There was a guy on here who was on his 2nd GTS. Said the first one with a sunroof felt wobbly to drive, like a convertible and that the second car with no S/roof was much better / more solid.

Does anyone else have experience of this? I am considering a couple of cars at the moment and wonder if a sunroof might be a bad idea as I want a solid skuttle are car coming from a GT4.

Thanks

GTS is a killer car. Had a 997C4S before this, and it's a different universe . . . feel kinda compelled to add something about 'pussy magnet', but I won't - (head held in shame - sorry!).



Always loved this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjI2J2SQ528), and Stormtroopers, obvs! :-)

Oh, and had the badges taken off and just '911' re-added. Wondered about just 'GTS', but thought the duck with the '911' nodded slightly to olde worlde 911's.



Great car - love it - get one!

Which one did you go for? Agate 4 GTS? There was one advertised but it went from the locator very quickly...?

Has anyone seen this http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/p...

Its a right dogs dinner at the front with what looks like a home spray job on the bumper.
Its also not got black surround headlights? I thought they came with headlights in black as standard?
