I did put a 17mm socket on my wheel bolts to confirm that is what they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finbox Posted August 6, 2023 Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) Took it to the track again, this was the last local Porsche club track day this year. I've done three track days this year and I think 3-4 is what I can realistically achieve in a year with my hectic schedule. The track was Ahvenisto Race Circuit, google it up if you like. Very cool 50 year old track, build close to downtown so all cars were checked for noise. It's a narrow track with steel walls just a meter from the track edge, quite exciting. Good elevation changes too, the track actually goes over the track at one point!-) I usually do 15-20min stints, but today I did one longer over 30min stint and learnt what it feels when tires are overheated... I knew my tires were worn, now the rears are down to wearmarks. They would maybe be good for one more dry track day, but autumn is coming and I want to play it safe so I have PS4's ordered.

iborguk Posted August 8, 2023 Report Share Posted August 8, 2023 Drove it, in the pi55ing rain, so completely devalued the car. PDK and N Rated tyres will probably explode. It will also probably grow an IMS bearing which will let go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t you dare enjoy the car you chose in the way you want to enjoy it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JurassicBGTS Posted August 9, 2023 Report Share Posted August 9, 2023 Just purchased a Car Graphic exhaust valve controller. Booked in with my local Indi for the end of the month to have it fitted. They are fully booked with work till end September😱 but he will squeeze this job in for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finbox Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 This was long time due, but treated the rubber seals with a silicone stick. My windows and roof kept some noise as the seals were dry, now with 10min work they are quiet. Here is me at the Ahvenisto track last week! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
224 Peter Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 My 718 life is mundane, Yesterday I drove to Tesco, bought some groceries and then put £75.45 worth of their 99 Octane E5 in it. Next I drove to the farm where we keep our horse and helped SWMBO put the horse out for the night, after that I put the car in the garage for the night. I'm not sure it is what Porsche intended to car to be used for, but I just love driving it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JurassicBGTS Posted August 29, 2023 Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 (edited) Had a nice run up to Blandford Forum to my Indi, for the fitment of a Cargraphic exhaust valve controller. I decided on the 2 way with separate remote fob so I can have the manufacturers normal/sport settings on the console button and valves fully open by pressing the fob. Sounds fantastic all the way through the rev range now rather than just over 4,000 rpm. Drove around the area and stopped at a very well known motoring photo op road "Avenue of trees" Moor Crichel. As I was leaving a lovely white Spyder pulled up to take photos. He was from Portsmouth, out with his son for a holiday drive around Dorset Edited August 29, 2023 by JurassicBGTS 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finbox Posted August 29, 2023 Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 I think this was one of the very last roof down drives this season, the season is so short here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
