    Porsche Owners Thread - If you own one or just like or hate them! :)

    There’s no way your centre lock is loose, it has a locking pin inside the cover. Could be pad knock back but you’d probably feel a vibration too tbh. Brakes good otherwise, power and feel? We need pics of the car! Used to have a gts

    Porsche Owners Thread - If you own one or just like or hate them! :)

    Interesting times and the interest rates are obviously having an effect on luxury purchases. In reality though I’ve lost far more on normal cars over the years than the Porsche and it’s fairly non issue over five years etc. it’s only the flippers getting burned right now as the market goes back...

    Porsche Owners Thread - If you own one or just like or hate them! :)

    The GTS is a great car, but wouldn’t rule out a 991.1 either. I’ve owned mine for five years and it gives nothing away to the later .2 variant in the real world. a bit easier to live with as a DD but not as rewarding imho. You need to *drive* the .1 whereas you can surf the torque in the .2. I’m...

    A return to form: Say hello to Banana MK2, the Italian Prancing Horse (Ferrari 458 Italia)

    Wow, not a good day! Worst kind of issue when you park it up all working and come back and it’s broke without turning a wheel! That and the Alfa door issue too.

    I am now a true petrol head! Bought an Alfa !! (Giulia Quadrifoglio)

    Didn’t realise it was on tbh. If it’s the carol singing I’ll pass!

    Ha, we spoke about that clarkson comment about not being a true petrol head until you’d had an Alfa at the biddulph meet a couple of months back. If you were really brave you’d get a really old one like mine lol. :D Glad you like it, they are great fun and pretty practical.

    Epic and be interested how it compares to the 458 once you’ve done a few miles

    Stunning car, get it bought Mine is wearing Weiss gold and it suits it far better than aurum. But go for aurum so it’s not the same as mine lol

    Agreed on those options, but i'd say that not all OPCs are perhaps equal in respect of prep.... when i was looking there was a tendency for them to rectify issues only if you brought it up during the process tbh. Cant imagine thats any different now. I think the best option is finding a indie...

    Having owned one for a few years…. I’d say sunroof is essential, it’s really good on a sunny day. You haven’t listed the gts interior pack but I’d say that is essential too. It’s just not a gts otherwise. I’d also move the led lights with the four led drl’s to be essential as it looks loads...

    Porsche Owners Thread - If you own one or just like or hate them! :)

    Interesting your finding some RS cars with engine replacement too as I thought the major issue on 991.1 GT3 engines was resolved before the RS model was introduced. Those 12-13 model year GT3 cars are now quickly approaching their 10 year birthday and that 10 year warranty porsche put on them is...

    .1 is already near enough a modern classic. They fetch strong money for a reason. The soundtrack is so so much better than the .2, which sounds like an overgrown Subaru and doesn’t have the howl of the NA car. Love mine.

    Rust prevention.....

    I’ve used most of these products inc waxoyl, dinitrol, acf50, bilt hamber, buzzweld and por15. Waxoyl is old tech and rubbish. Dinitrol is a good system as is bilt hamber. Both of these are oily coatings of differing thicknesses. They cannot be over coated with paint and you need to keep them...

    The market is pretty crazy and we’ve been saying that for a few years now. My 991.1 GTS coupe is practically still worth what I paid for it 4 years ago. Still can’t think what I’d swop it for tbh. Not a fan of the newer turbo Carreras.

    Might be biased but arent we all, but had this 991.1 GTS for 3.5 years now and still not sure what id replace it with outside a touring. The current market is nuts and its worth about the same maybe a little more now than when I bought it. Plenty of good ideas above but if you can get into one...
