hell, i'd sponsor his work permit visa, but why leave one socialist country for another lol

when i get in the car now for a DRIVE, instead of having to engage the clutch i now autonomically disable the button at the dash, so technically it is only "off" until and unless the brakes are applied, then as i understand it, the psm can/will activate. but then when i am throttle steering and availing myself of the joy of a near 575+ rwd tt, i am not usually applying the brakes, but rather menacing squirrels

again, it's "braking" that will re-activate the psm/abs concurrently as i understand it "dash button off". the genuine way to rid oneself of it, obviously would be to follow powdrhounds lead, and disable it completely leaving only abs. but when i just ...*drive* as opposed to DRIVE i dont bother with it. i dont really fancy orange dash lights lol so a nice circle cut of elec tape may be on my future "mods" list

but rwd w psm OFF is a gas. literally

 

Wow Mark, your brain must be wired to your laptop...that must be one of the quickest lengthy replies I have ever witnessed.
I'm guessing your driving style would be very similar...I can just picture you throttle steering that beast...lol..and thank you for your reply, it really is appreciated....mind you I'm typing this while on head cold tablets.

 

i don't sleep jim but am happily not on any tablets LOL

 

Jim.. I will report back after another 1000 miles or so as the usage of 5w50 really got heavier after I crossed 2000 miles since the last oil change....

There were no metal particle though in my oil filter on the 5W50 and the 0W40

 

4.30 am riser here...

I also drive RWD with PASM off at all times....


Actually, mixed it up yesterday and did my 25 mph corner at 51 mph with the PASM on........ meh that is boring....

Good alignment and RWD is driving perfection.... more exciting in this car than any dual clutch thing I drive or have driven

 

amen brother, I too was converted to the tailswagging joys of rwd 911's. back in 67! lol.


awd turbo..?! what WAS I thinkin' ha

 

Hey Jim,
Have not tried the Mobil 5w50 but it should also be a great oil based on sample analysis/PDS online...I'd run whatever is easier/'cheaper' to source locally.



I love them to bits too, drove my dad's '74 2.0 as a highschool car , they're a hoot either as a bone-stock collector car or full track car. Just need to get them fuel lines fixed up before going to enjoy them.


Imagine us all as neighbours! Porsche heaven haha



Thanks for the kind words My neighbour Mike is a fun guy to hang with and his kids are really into cars as well, always waving/excited when I drive by



Get working on that VISA! I need outta here, provincial government is killing this place!


What's PSM?

 

Wolfhedge
Thanks

Rob,
Thats right, you dont have psm do you.


Mark
Between Wolfhedge, Rob and you I'm the only awd here. You guys must be onto something.

 

ha jim, im a slow learner and was afraid to mess with its resale value! by going rwd etc, but now that there is none as i've just broken 'er in at 130k miles it will end up as a planter in the yard, or perhaps my sarcophagus lol.

but ya know the old one about if ya mow yer lawn and find a car? you might just be a redneck LOL. that'd be me

ya, rob!..i'm all about it: porschetown SoCal with you as honorary go to "whats wrong with my car"? guy, and btw..you'd love it here, the mulholland racing association is still active

mcqueen was a card carrying member too

 

I'd love to test drive one that has been converted.

No chance mine will be a garden ornament as my son will make sure of that, hes only 8 but already asking..

 

just had an acid flashback! thats what caught my 914/6 on fire, as i remember it fuel line split etc and kaboom.

was only 40 years ago give or take

 

I hear ya.. Sometimes I think my gf is asking to "inherit"!? it and tells me.constantly the car is faster than I am hah

 

5W40 .
Quieter, helps make up for wear,clearances.
Basically a little better protection.

 

I have never driven one, sounds like a rel drivers car.

I'm guessing your around my vintage Mark and you have a 20yo gf...wow !!

 

M1 0-40 and happy with it but may use Castrol 5-50 next time= use Castrol in my Audis and like it.- previously used Amsoil never hear much talk about that here.
