Patt Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 I think that should say "sadly nut detailing/polishing" 😉 I'm with Map, I've always added/removed or modified what every I wish on my cars. Not know for being a lemming with my taste. Once had a fellow MLR (Lancer Register) want to punch me for a mod I'd done on my car, he said I didn't deserve the car ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still on the MLR, although it's largely dead in the water as a forum now. I remember it getting somewhat boisterous on occasion. I tested a couple of intercoolers that I'd bought with my own money against the standard item and measured the intake temps at the throttle body and intake manifold. It developed into a 20 page freestyle bloodbath with everyone and his dog kicking off about the way I'd gone about it, even though a guy with a background in thermodynamics was arguing that I had actually gone about it the right way. 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see the appeal myself, more so if the rest of the car was filthy or abused in some way - if it looked like it hadn’t been washed since it left the Sahara then great.

Are you referencing this car? If so fair enough - there are a plethora of changes to the car that have folk doubting and sometimes vehemently disliking. That’s cool, it wasn’t built for anyones’ likes but mine. In terms of cleanliness - I agree, better to see a car that’s progressed and pootled than simply polished - this car is usually covered somewhere in this spectrum of road use filth: 8hr progress (Calais to Courmayeur) carnage - the aux driving lamps would’ve have helped on that run There are plans to increase the lighting resource on the car - including some incorporated on the RTS. As and when they’re added I’ll update this thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menoporsche Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) That’s the cookie map is there any functional or aesthetic reason the spots are very yellow?

I find them incongruous on a millennial car. Thank you for asking: Yellow lenses reduce reflected glare in wet or misty conditions at night time. This increases distance and detail visibility which makes it safer to pootle in those conditions So their colour and low height make them ideally suited for the soupy conditions found ooop norf. This pair are switched: with main beam, off or on. This means I can use them without out the car’s own lights being on. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul P Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 (edited) Not a 987 and no affinity knowledge or experience of the manufacturer (other than he seem to like throwing a 996 around in the snow) but given recent chat about spot lights and cameras etc. found on a random Facebook 996 group.
