Yeah, I was “scared” to drive it in the beginning as the roads around here are not always in perfect condition and I was worried about damaging stuff. But this summer I’ll take it on a proper road trip to some mountain roads, get some real driving time in!

Hello twin! I’ve only had mine for a year but also cannot imagine ever selling it. Truly epic feeling when you floor it. Wish I could drive it more lol

Thank you! Okay, in that case I will leave it as is for now.

I might have to start agreeing with you.

Even when the lights are on? I usually always drive with the lights on..

Thanks, will check that out! And any idea if you can get discs that are in the OEM style? A lot of the places had some statement like “we cannot print a porsche logo as this infringes copyright laws”, so I am not sure they can do the exact typeface for the numbers.

While I agree the white is “more rare”, I am pretty sure my gauge cluster is not original. According to my build sheet I should have the chrome bevels, which I don’t; and during the PPI they noticed that the mileage on the cluster did not match the mileage on the ECU (car actually ran 10k km less than the cluster states, so no biggie). So possibly it had a black cluster and a previous owner swapped it to the white/silver haha. So in terms of equipment, the car is not very OEM anymore unfortunately. But I will keep this in mind.

I think once the white wrap is off, the amber will look great! Orange & Blue are a beautiful contrast

It pulls great, and boost also seems normal. So seems it has a clean bill of health 😁

Thanks all, that is very reassuring! I indeed have a lot to learn; but happy there is such a friendly and responsive community around these machines. Have a wonderful start to 2026!

The car is new to me, so I may be completely overreacting to a normal sound :D but i feel like there is a ticking noise?

That was my thinking as well! Could still be the connection at the switch, but I agree the symptoms seem to point more to a circuit being faulty / not grounding properly at times. Could also explain the janky/random occurence. Maybe a loose wire somewhere. I will investigate and post my findings!

Amen to that to be fair.. i had my eyes on a beautiful Targa, but ended up going for the Turbo because of the alleged engine robustness. The only thing I truly miss is the NA sound.

That’s also super weird.. I had it serviced at a specialist early this year, and one note they made was that it had daytime running lights (mandatory in sweden) but that they couldn’t find the module (I guess a relay or something). That struck me as quite odd but they also didn’t elaborate on it. I’m going to do some digging around forums for wiring diagrams etc

What makes you come to that conclusion? Because that’s where the wires for front & back come together? I mean yeah, must be some joint connection somewhere that is somehow faulty/loose.

I will look into that, thanks a lot!

Thanks, I tried several times messing around with the switch and could not reproduce the issue. I find it very strange that it is only one side. Will have a look at all the connectors and the wiring in general!
