My new Ride

Post by SYRON CONVERSIONS »

Saturdays I drive my Hilux off-road, Sundays I drive The Cayman S for fun, it has the 3.4 mid mounted engine, in other words the gearbox is at the rear, the 911 is the other way round, this little car was built in such a way that it is unique, when a person buys a car like this, you basically get the std entry model and you then build the car to whatever spec that you require and then you place your order with Porsche' the car was finally ordered through Porsche' in JHB.

The extra's that this car has are.

Triptronic gearbox, you can also change gears on the steering wheel, real awesome when driving along at 250km per hour.
Chrono sport exhaust system.
Metallic GT Silver paint.
Suspension monitoring system, you can make the suspension harder or softer by flicking a switch.
Air pressure monitoring system, which you can check while driving along.
Special lighting system.
Floor mats ( they are extra).

Did not go for the ceramic brake, that would have cost an additional R150k. our roads do not cater for such uses.

Once the garantee is up, a super charger will be fitted, just to give that added edge when passing another vehicle.
Bought an additional set of rims and tyres as well, the front tyres and rims are different to the rear tyres and rims.

Now to compare the Hilux to this little car, well each has it's own unique features and thus both are awesome to drive.

Simon,

It looks like you could easily drive up the rear end of the Porsche with the Hilux and use it as a ramp, most likely while still in high ratio!


You still want to fit a super-charger.... whatever for????

He did Eric, it was a Volksy Beetle when he bought it :twisted:

Personally I prefer the un-squashed version :roll:
