It was the 2012 2.9ltr model.

Did corner very well, much more planted than the r32. Could easily be used as a daily.

lol ofcourse it was more planted than the r32. its also a lot more expensive hahaha but you can afford it now

What about soft compound race semis? :)

BAHAH. i do need some of them eventually. (like nationals for the hillclimb) but now my priority is decent road tyres... i have 6 wheels, with 3 just above legal tyres and one good tyre that is making the car drive like shit... im gonna throw a pair of maxxis zr-1s on the front in 2 weeks, but i need to find two decent tread pairs for the rear.....

hey victorians. thought id ask again... anybody have a pair of 235 40 18's laying around gathering dust? i need a cheep (relatively) pair for my spares...

hell ill take 245's.

please and thank you.

I think i got achilles 123s 235/40/18 atm.

Though I need to get some new ones before I can get rid of these

So put a deposit on one yet? :D

Some might say its a poor mans 911 Carrera, but others say its better!

Haha I'm a good 20yrs+ away from buying any luxury car. Can't afford to blow so much money on a depreciating asset (r32 doesn't count)

Need to invest for the future! /boringpathway

Was considering one as a daily for this very reason! Daily + weekender in one!

Reliability and expenses scare me though!

im in. lol was looking at atr sport 1's.... let me know when you pick some more tyres up!

Will do!

You look better in a Porsche when your 30 rather than 50 just sayin :P

Has a look at www.pelicanparts.com

Have been buying BMW parts for my dads car from there. Very cheap spare parts in the states. I would assume similar for Porsche parts too.

Haha in that case I have 5 years to make it happen then :P

God knows where I will be in 2 let alone 5.

One thing I do predict, the r32 will still be around! :P

Cool! Still, dat mid mount engine...seems like pain in the ass to work on.

Other than that, you got an awesome all rounder and better looking than the Carrera IMO. Older models still look good and the S isn't too bad on price.

Day 1 of not having a job.

What to do?

Nothing. You're off the grid. The absolute freedom and ability to do anything you've ever dreamed of in this short life is so infinite and full of potential for regret, that you will ultimately end up falling into a daily routine of nothing because you fear your overwhelming choices. Then regret doing nothing in the end. Enter depression, for that vicious cycle touch.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
