Bet the cars had coil overs/ lowering springs at some point. Only one reason people fit c4s front splitter, and that's to get over speed humps easier in lowered car. Well it could be that the C4s front splitter looks better, that it helps get over speed bumps easier in a standard height car or that it is cheaper to buy than a turbo splitter....so that's 3 more reasons! Only the previous owner will know.

ZeroH said: Why does your turbo have a C4S front splitter?
If it came with it then this is the second turbo I've seen from RSJ with the incorrect front splitter on a turbo. I wouldn't worry unless you're going to do Vmax. I run mine with one as it's perpetually scraping on the ground in car parks with the standard one, although my car does ride lower than stock.

Coming up to two years of ownership; which is good going for me. This could really be all the car you need (unless you're a builder and need a van!). Strengths have been well documented by others. Weaknesses; arguably getting on a bit now so suppose things will need changing soon...and...err, that's it.

My 12 year old had his first school rugby match today. Early start, it seemed dry so it would have been a shame not to take the 996TT. Pootled around really, it gets to silly speeds so quick that you have to keep an eye on the speedo. I kept the switchable exhaust turned on and enjoyed the music warbling from the pipes. A great way to start the day

In the most recent GT Porsche magazine, there was an article praising the 996 turbo. It said it was a very underrated machine at a bargain price.
I've had mine for 8 years & think it is a great machine.

i think the 6 turbo and GT2 will become quite sought after. Fantastic Mezger engine and amazing styling
