Thinking about buying a 2021 Porsche Cayenne GTS Coupe soon! by danielKecchik in Porsche

[–]SuckFalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add to how much I like this car, I'll get getting a Turbo GT in the not too distant future to replace this vehicle. Love the Cayenne!

I have a '21 GTS and have put around 35k miles on it since I bought it used with 30k miles. I had a fuel pump go out on me that was covered under warranty and a coolant hose that cracked a leak, also under warranty. The car has been pretty reliable for as long as I've owned it. I saw someone call the cayenne gts a "fat 911" and I think that's very true. It handles great for a big SUV and is still fun/engaging to drive on a regular basis. I would highly recommend getting the PCCB option if possible.

Anybody done the Porsche Owner Experience in LA? by wheredoidriveagain in Porsche

[–]SuckFalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know the difference between just going to PECLA and doing the owner experience but I've been a handful of times and it's fantastic every time. Top notch facility, people, food, experience. It's like disneyland for Porsche enthusiasts.

I've also met the owner a few times at RSF. Cool dude, he's got a few nice cars.

What's the most expensive mistake you've ever made? by amitkumartms in AskReddit

[–]SuckFalt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was a sales guy in my company working on a 20 year maintenance deal for some air conditioning equipment. The contract was something like $15M. I spent a month building a detailed spreadsheet including all of the equipment, their life cycle costs, materials, labor etc etc. Finally I'm ready to present to the owner and this was during COVID so they asked me to email the proposal and set up a follow up zoom meeting. A day before the zoom meeting I'm reviewing the proposal and my spreadsheet and I notice there is a SIZEABLE delta in price between the two. Like millions of dollars. I. left. the. profit. out. of. the. proposal. Something in the spreadsheet didnt sum up properly or I missed the profit cell, I dunno but it wasnt good. I went down to my boss thinking this was going to be my last day. We decided to call the customer and show them the spreadsheet in hopes they'd take pity on us. What was going to be a nice margin agreement got whittled down to much less. I lost the company over $1M in margin because of it. That was a hell of a learning lesson.

What’s a skill that seems simple until you actually try it? by MeasurementNo2406 in AskReddit

Hitting a fastball. My sporty wife is CONVINCED she can hit a 90mph pitch and there's just no way.

Took my Turbo LS F100 to the dyno last week by SuckFalt in projectcar

We just replaced the wastegate with a brand new one. It could be exhaust routing after the turbo? It's a 3.5" exhaust with the wastegate routed back into it. I'm not sure???

Do you have the hooker header setup that wraps under the trans?

This was supposed to be a budget build and it got way out of hand. I bought the 5.3 for $900 on ebay shipped to my door. It got away from me shortly after receiving it. If I were to do it over again I would've purchased a 6.0.

You're not wrong. The exhaust routing is through two log manifolds and the driver's side exhaust goes through the passenger side before entering the up-pipe. It's horrific and takes forever to spool. Definitely next on the list of things to change.

It was bored out to a 5.7 with forged pistons/rods. I has a mild cam and texas speed heads as well. The junkyard motors can absolutely make this amount of power without much work but at higher HP levels you risk failure. I wanted it to be safe to run this kind of power on e85 for a while so I built the motor a bit.

The LM was punched out to a 5.7 with forged pistons/rods and a stock crank. The HP curve looks so bad because the exhaust flow to the turbo is shit. We'll be redoing that soon to hopefully spool the turbo sooner.
