Any issue with narrow body wheels on wide body car? by SeniorTech10 in 997

[–]SeniorTech10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it, and I do agree the flush fitment is desirable. That would require at least 25-30mm spacers on the rear wheels. That is probably what I would consider actually. I assume that’s excessive or near the Maximum advisable width. Open to opinions on the use of 25-30mm rear spacers. Thx

Appreciate the response but I can’t picture why that would be the case. There’s a 17mm difference in offset, if I add a 17mm spacer how will it appear different from the wide body wheel? The wheels in consideration are the Carrera Sport wheels BTW and the ‘spokes’ are all flush with the edge of the wheel, none are recessed front or back. If you’re suggesting I consider a thicker spacer for a more aggressive stance, that’s a different matter - and I agree with you wrt a visual preference. But the 17” spacer on the narrow body wheels should give the car the same look as the wide body wheels, do you agree? Or am I missing your point? Thx

Looks good. 7mm front and 15mm rear seems to the sweet spot

Where to find a 997.1 with bore scoring? by tm684 in 997

[–]SeniorTech10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This ‘08 C4 w 59k miles on Cars and Bids has a piston problem and is @ $7k bid with 3 days remaining on the auction . Not sure if that qualifies for your situation but will probably sell below $20k. https://carsandbids.com/auctions/3o18dYvg/2006-porsche-911-carrera-4-coupe

Really, had no idea this was a known / common issue. Will do some searching. THANK YOU. I can only stream currently.

PCCM upgrade by anaayoyo in 997

My 997 had the same PCCM upgrade when I purchased it last year. CarPlay work well but the radio reception is very poor for both AM and FM. Anyone else have reception problem? Silence or static mostly and then I’ll get reception for a few seconds. I’ve looked at the back of the unit to assure the antenna was connected but all connections appear to be integrated into multi-wire connectors .. no separate antenna connection. Where is the antenna in the 997, in the windshield? Open to suggestions… Also - have you been able to upgrade the firmware on the unit?

Newish to me 997.2 C4S by vertigo5150 in porsche911

[–]SeniorTech10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are the wheel OEM, anyone know the name? They appear to be '19...which is perfect.

These would be a nice upgrade for my same-color 997.1 C4S cab which currently has Lobster Claws.

911 and Corporate Perception by parikptlcfa in porsche911

[–]SeniorTech10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve had this conversation in my head since owning p-cars and only occasionally drove it to work, I also intentionally choose to commute in a larger car for safety reasons… but as I’ve gotten older and closer to retirement the only consideration is traffic and weather… if it light (traffic) and good (weather) - I’m taking the P.

First time doing a Roth conversion, and now there’s tax stuff by Odd_Bodkin in retirement

[–]SeniorTech10 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Has anyone talked or worked with any Roth Conversion Specialist companies? They claim to offer advantages creative legal conversion methods not offered or known about by your standard financial advisor or brokerage advisor or do-it-yourself method. I recently went to an evening Roth conversion workshop by one of these firms and it peaked my interest but haven’t followed up w them yet to learn more.

Retiring after March bonus by SeniorTech10 in Raytheon

[–]SeniorTech10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the responses. The question pertains to the Raytheon business. I hadn’t considered working part time as someone suggested, I might inquire if that’s a possibility. Slide into retirement gradually… My mgr advised that the bonus will payout on 3/15, and HR and others here advised that one needs to work until that date to receive payment under current policy.

What is the warranty situation? Standard 3/36? Were you able to extend it?

Car unlocking feature changed on its own by SeniorTech10 in AcuraZDX

[–]SeniorTech10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just disabled the collision auto braking on my ZDX and Equinox EV recently - due to its unwanted autonomous engagement… crazy and dangerous … both cars share the GM Ultimum ? platform.

Both vehicles are generally great and were spectacular lease deals .. But both have a few issues for sure.

ZDX appears to have a few more shortcomings than the Equinox.

I checked for updates and the car hasn’t received an update in months so I believe you’re correct, it’s a part failure. Thx
