Not looking at the moment and obviously there are major differences. Some are also more valuable to some than others. Once I get my hands on mine I can evaluate things then. Meanwhile I’m on a steep learning curve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean the PPI you had done last week passed with flying colours and you have a tipper on route to your garage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PPI was done , not faultless but nothing ridiculous. Still at the dealers completing a RWC. have arranged a major service with Nineauto to be completed soon with any other issues to be rectified at the same time. Hopefully will be picking up at the end of the week. Dalai and luzzo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joz Posted 5July, 2021 Report Share Posted 5July, 2021 ^^ Thankyou, my first Porca and I hope I’ve done everything that I can to make this a positive experience. I’ve pushed aside motoring pleasure for family for nearly two decades. This is a big venture for me, I’m hoping it works out 😊.I’ve missed motoring pleasure for along time.😢 MR901 and Jkay 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P-Kay Posted 6July, 2021 Report Share Posted 6July, 2021 Proper gangsta there @Joz with the tint and black wheels. You're going to love that! Congrats Is this the one at Theodossi that sold before it even had pics up? Joz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good looking car Joz, pity about the black wheels, but that's a personal like / dislike 🙂 Just re pictures etc, you will get a much larger total upload allowance as a Financial member ($25). Also try trimming file size to be able to upload more photos within your allowance. I would send photos from my phone to my email to upload, and my Samsumg S9 gave an automatic photo resize option - I used to choose the smallest file and resolution is still enough for display here. Just a bummer I can get my Oppo to do the same, going back to a Sammy next time 🙂 Joz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joz Posted 6July, 2021 Report Share Posted 6July, 2021 @TwoHeadsTas yes I was hoping for original turbo twists myself , but I still like the aftermarket currently on the car. one thing I’m going to change is the color of the side vents, they black instead of being color matched. Also the mirrors have already been resprayed. The pint peeled of when the wrap was removed. ok here’s a resized/ trimmed vid. $25!!!! What kind of tight ar$e forum is this?😁 IMG_6972.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crsedge Posted 6July, 2021 Report Share Posted 6July, 2021 Looks great, I don't mind the black rims. Are they 19"? I prefer rims to be 18" with a bit more tyre and imagine that would ride better too Well done Joz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joz Posted 6July, 2021 Report Share Posted 6July, 2021 Yes they are 19s, taking it for a drive I feel like I felt every grain of sand, peak and valley on the asphalt. TwoHeadsTas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the 18's on my 996 C2 I had gave a much more comfortable ride than the 19's that were on my wife's 987 and then 981. However, before you change I'd suggest you look at availability of tyres in the size options, and the tyres you want. You may find that the compromise is a rougher ride if the tyres you want are only available in 19's Joz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1q2w3e4r Posted 6July, 2021 Report Share Posted 6July, 2021 You can get Pilot Sport 4S' now in factory sizing if you didn't want to run Cup 2s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a great choice!! Couldn't get them in 981 sizes a few months ago, had to settle for V105s. Mate ran 4S on a 991 GT3RS in Targa Tas, and they performed admirably in the rain, he was very happy, but wouldn't have wanted to run them for a purely dry event though...
