My C4S has been sitting in the garage for 2 years. I haven't had a single service done and I'm looking to get it ready for this summer. Where should I begin? It also has an oil leak. Had a kid and wasn't able to drive it and I just couldn't bring myself to sell it.

Start with tire pressures and oil level before you move it... Then before you run it too long take it to a good shop nearby for an oil change and maybe a service...

First of all, baby seats fit in nicely in back. that is how my first one, '72 911S to my wife as a "family car."

as to service, oil and brake fluid flush. the coolant probably is OK, but have it checked.

once it it moving, use brakes hard to polish off pad and rotors.

wiper blades may also need to be replaced.

good luck.

drive baby drive

What's the chances that the oil leak is the RMS problem? Should I do an oil change to see if there is a still a leak?

What kind of booster seats fit in the back? I have no problems using it as a family car now that I have a toddler. The infant seat was too much of a pain to put in the back every single time.

Lousy excuse to blame "having a kid". I bought mine when my kid was 8 months old and have been using the C4S to shuttle her around. She loves the sound. Now that she's 2, I ask her which car she wants to ride in...always the 911 or the Boxster S and never the other bigger cars. Now that she has a 4 month old sibling, I guess the Boxster S is out of the question. But you better believe both of them will be in the back seat of the 911...

Since my kids are in their 30s, i dont think I am quite up to date on child seats.

sorry

Not so much an excuse but it’s my personal preference. Would you be able to recommend some boosters? I have an 8 and 3 year old.

Nice Zookie,

If I tried that i'd be on You Tube with the title "911 drives through Tommy Hilfiger store window"

My first Porsche when I was a younger was a 914, that ended up in a ditch driving in the snow!!!
