Buzzlt Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 New boots for the front PS5’s as they were an absolute bargin from black circles in the Black Friday sale. It might actually stop now after finally finishing the brake upgrades which ended up with the GT3 master cylinder, new stainless brake nipples, Goodrich braided hoses and a bit of clean up. I can report that the pedal is much firmer with virtually no travel, which I like. However as others have said a bit harder to push. Not the best weather for more testing but I already think I need better pads as it hasn’t added the sharpness I was hoping for. Which I know you can get with better pads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They default to valves open when you start the engine (as there is no vacuum) but should quieten down as the valves close when you press the remote button. yep getting used to it, definitely quieter with valves closed. fitted the remote in the ashtray with a bit of foam. will post some pics later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pagey Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 On 11/17/2022 at 7:30 AM, jasonmo said: interesting. Open and closed doesn't sound much different, open is actually slightly better I think - less boom more gritty. I will do a proper listen over the weekend. I'm already getting used= to it today, just need to be a little less lazy with leaving it in a higher gear and just squeezing the throttle through 2-3000rpm. Will keep everyone posted. Interested in real world thoughts. I'm trying to choose between getting a non-valved catback (Borla/Cargraphic) vs a valved one for my 987.2. Coming from a Mustang with Borla exhaust im not sure whether I would actually close the valves much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAZ Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 Took her for an early morning run around the Cotswolds - got waves back from an 18 plate Boxster, a 10 plate Cayman but not the X reg Boxster. She’s pig filthy now so going to give her a quick wash - who else on here is in the Cotswolds apart from our site Princess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
