I used to be a fat git remember

This thread made me dig up some old photos from my first time there, didn’t get many but these two demonstrate it nicely: That was the view from the hotel on the morning of the trackday itself, so definitely a snow day! …and by the track itself, I’m on the left but handily you can see the snow still falling against the black of my friend’s suit this was taken whilst we waiting for the temps to come above freezing so they’d actually open the track! Happy times. #hijackover #sorrystu

I’d rather do five laps of Spa than a whole day at the Ring, it’s that good. I’d love to go back. My first time there was in the snow!

They can keep it!

If we were truly grown men, we wouldn’t be driving silly little sports cars

Nothing concerning there at all, some people only keep sporty cars for a year before moving on. Just don’t pay top money for it if you’re planning on doing more than about 5k miles a year, as otherwise you might as well buy a leggier example.

Not sure I’d actually bother touching that up, I’d either get it done properly or wear it as a war mark with pride 😎

Looks like Sunset from that photo, but if it’s non-standard then it could literally be anything. Can prob get a pen from any NMD, but it could stand out more than the scuff. Any pics of the damage?

So Horsham did both the 418 and the 354 dyno runs, correct? Are Horsham saying there is def something wrong with it? What boost are you running? What size pulley? What I’m getting at is this is lacking in details and Horsham know their stuff, so I’m surprised if they can’t fix it or give you a hint as to where to go next.

Cos it’s in the book. I can’t see any practical reason why it’s in there though!

Don’t forget to fit shorter wiper blades too, else it’ll fail the MOT.

I now feel very old after reading that comment.

Crazy idea, but maybe go measure your own car? Saitoworks specify the size of theirs anyway, so you can work on that basis.

Without replacing the entire unit, you can’t. Tbh I don’t ever bother with in car nav either any more, get a good mount and use your phone: certainly the bigger models (Max, Plus sizes) are more than capable of giving you the info you need clearly.

Sports Plus is amazing when you’re really in the mood, on the right road. The engineered-in extra jolt when the ‘box changes is subtle but brilliant.

Keep your foot buried past lockdown in normal mode and it’ll still shift at the redline. Also Sports Plus will still change gears automatically for you, only if you push the stick to the left and put it in manual mode will it not change up.

Get it to Center Gravity asap. Best money I ever spent on mine, absolutely transformed the car. Same when I took the 6er there, too. Wizards, I tell you!

That was utterly painful to read, even as a Porsche fan. Also he gets quite a few bits wrong as well (there is no raised rev limit in Sport Mode, for example).

Used the place run by a mate near where I used to work, but honestly that was cos it was handy rather than anything else. An MOT is an MOT, go wherever is easiest.

And yet battery life is easy to determine by plugging it in, if the on board computer doesn’t tell you anyway. Got a source for this, cos everywhere I look people are happily buying these with no concerns (or maybe they’re burying their concerns!)?

It’s a bit close, but the angle of the spray is much more important. I can run my Kranzle quite high in terms of pressure, but as long as you keep a roughly 45mpg angle there’s very little risk to the paint at all. Same goes if you’ve got a wrap on.

Or better still, strip them out and replace with standard mounts. As much as I fanboi over Porsche, dynamic engine mounts are not something I’ve ever seen any point in what so ever.

I don’t believe for one second that anything posted on YouTube isn’t 100% totally accurate.

Easy answer: they cannot change coverage mid-term, as that’s not the contract they agreed to and the exact details should be in the policy handbook they gave you at inception. In terms of dragging the car off circuit and then ringing them it’s up to them: if they say you must’ve been there and you’re pulling a fast one, it’s the same as insurance claims at a track day crash so my guess it they’ll say no and get you to argue the toss long after the incident. Practically speaking I would imagine it’ll be 50/50 on the guy that actually turns up, worst case you can say you were spectating but not involved.
