Serge, Thanks for the screen idea, i'll have to do it too. Q. What oil temps are you seeing on track? My temps get as hi as 275+-. Will probably do a center rad soon. Allan

 

My oil temperature did not exceed 250 over the last couple of events... but it was no more than 60-70 outside either. I'll see how it turns out during the summer. I ran at Barber last year with my previous 991S when the temperature was between 90 and 100F and the oil temp did not get into the red zone (but I burnt my brakes ).

Mesh Grill Template

I 'cut' the template in 2 parts that could each fit on a letter size page.
Here's a PDF. Just print at 100% size and assemble the template.

I hope it helps!

 

Awesome, thanks so much. This will be a huge help. I love this forum.

 

I have seen the light!!!



Meaning, I have decided to keep my PSE (throwing away a good piece of engineering was too difficult for me) and I'll get Fabspeed Headers with 200cell cats installed. They'll provide a bit more sound and hopefully a little bit more oomph. I have a good -subjective- recollection of how they performed on my first 991. That will be it for now. The Scorpion Tuning exhaust is still very tempting, but I am not ready yet!

While I was at it, I ordered BMC air filters. I expect to pick up 0.3hp but I love a little DYI. In addition I had found out on my previous 991 that the air filter got dirty quite rapidly...

 

Carbon Fiber trim by oCarbon

I still had a set of silver dashboard and centre console trim from my previous 991 and rather than throwing a second set away to upgrade to CF, I got in touch with Matt @ oCarbon (http://ocarbon.com) to do a CF conversion.

Here are the parts that will be oCarbon-ised:



I have used some of Matt's products before in my Audi S4 and was extremely satisfied with the quality, so I am really looking forward to get the parts back

I should get work in progress pictures of the parts and will share them.

 

Something tells me you have the mod bug in the worst way. looking forward to seeing the carbon pieces. Are they overlays?

 

I assume they will be overlays, but not exactly sure how Matt is going to proceed.

Yes, I have the mod bug in the worst way and I have not found a rehab program for this type of addiction yet

I have nothing else in mind for the time being though

 

Dropping by at the dealership to test drive a CaymanS tomorrow. Not sure yet if I'll try a manual or PDK...

PS: no, I am not trading in my 991

 

I don't believe you.

There are cars I test drove and never bought... A Camaro for instance...

 

How bout one of these?

 

Hey Serge- back in your pre-911 days, I was showing my son your GTI upgrades, then the Cayman R (you're always an inspiration) and he got a VW Golf R and did all the APR upgrades that you did on your GTI. Great car for the money and very fun to drive. Even with the 991S, it brings a big grin to my face every time I drive it.

 

Thanks! A GTI -and even more an R- is a great car and the best value for money you can get in its price range. Throw a few APR upgrades on top and it becomes a ton of fun. During a wet track day at AMP last Friday, a tuned GTI was almost able to stay ahead of the 991 and passed a couple of 997's

 

Maybe our kids and their vee dubs need to show us how it's done at the Tail of the Dragon in June? I think I'm going up with HAKU Saturday. Wrong thread, I know
