Re: Looking to buy a 911

There are plenty of 992's, but those are still very expensive. Yes 992s are very expensive. The well specced 991.1 and 991.2s are selling fast! That really does look like why they’re shifting, due to the gulf in 991/2 prices! 991 are still seen as nearly new and very modern, as it only seems like y...

Re: Looking to buy a 911

Cheers WingCo :D I do like the idea of the PCCB for the public road handling advantages, but I really do think they are too risky for me. The repeatable stopping from high speed on track is also impressive, but the steels are also amazing with some more suitable pads and fluid. Some track enthusias...

Re: Looking to buy a 911

Those two cars both look really great! More generally regarding the choices...... 991.1 has the classic 911 sound, which is amazing! The steering was widely criticised though, as Porsche’s 1st stab at an electric system. That, combined with 4wd makes this possibly the least enjoyable 911 to pilot :...

Re: Looking to buy a 911

+1. That’s the best post I’ve read in ages, Red5, both on here and on the Rennlist 991 forum. I’m a big Porsche fan, but your technical knowledge is impressive! :) Agree with Nick on the badly damaged wheels on cars with PCCBs, especially since front discs are now 410mm! Cheers WingCo :D I do like ...

Re: Converting to the Mk2 look..

I hate the new Kia rear lights. The original Macan lights are one of the most nicely styled parts of the car. They are unmistakably Porsche, slightly reminiscent of 928/911 shapes. I guess somebody will do this at some point, but it’ll be a bigger job than it first looks...... Strip loads of interio...

Re: Porsche 911 Carrera T

Nice work! The PS4S are a huge change and upgrade for your whole car, which you’ll enjoy 100% of the time you’re driving it :D Price vs improvement = Mega bargain! As you do so many miles and are so familiar with the car, I think you’ll enjoy this change more than most would. The additional traction...

Re: Porsche 911 Carrera T

Bad luck re the nail! I vote for the PS4S x4, instead of a repair. I’d get it repaired if it was a nearly new, but not with 3mm ish remaining. I’d be changing those at just under 3mm anyway. I hate having my wheels messed with by tyre places, so safer for the car/wheels to get all done in one go. Al...
