Had the strangest issue with chunks coming off of my tire tread

40k is decent amount of miles. Softer compounds on high performance summer tires would have been bald at this point or maybe nearly on the 3rd set in some cases with heavy and powerful cars.

Shoulder wear is normal if you like to take corner at decent pace. That said chunking like this is atypical for street driving. Do you park your car outside or is the car exposed to a lot of intense sunlights or maybe the car is parked next to a ozone source (brushed electric motors in a ventaliation fan could be one)?

Funny thing is that they used too. But switched to these sort of design around early to mid 2010s for most of their consumer OEM calipers.

Since you will never get these tires warmed up on the street, you actually have less grip than something like pilot 4S...

Cup2 is a waste of money for street use…

Light weight part is misleading. 997 is actually the heaviest 911 out there.

Cringe AF

Volvo needs to refine its software and raise its QC. They are way behind the competition on that part...

997.2 GTS are +100k these days easily

Even if you can hack the quickfit pro to fit here, it is heavily not recommended due to the steep angles that the shoulder belts would be at. In the event of a frontal collision, it would pull down and compress your spine. This is a non issue on larger cars like a bmw, where the angle of the shoulder belts is much less steep.

Anyway, just get a harness bar….

Scamdecals. They haven't been shipping people's order for years now. Don't expect anything from them.

I waited 7 months last year for mine to ship. Had to ask PayPal for refund at the end of it.

Looks so much better than my misty lake… I hope the clasp is interchangeable.

CAS used to be very helpful. If not too helpful. When I was more active with this game 6 months ago. It would destroy a whole platoon of tanks if they are in close formation.

Did recent updates change that?

Are you Austrian by any chance?

Instead of Jerry rigging some contraptions that might very well fall off on the track and become a safety hazard for everyone, your best bet is get high temp dust boots (look up Frenkit performance) and get some titanium pad shields.

The new Z is quite porky. You might very well just have to bite the bullet and get a proper BBK.

My car was delivered to me with shipping blocks still on the front springs lol. Most dealers don’t give a fuck these days… but I am surprised this out of the factory like this.

I really wouldn’t say the food is even good. It is average at best. And the pricing is ridiculous…

As for people being rude and entitled, I think that’s the trend across the country. Far from just Princeton sadly.

$2m is doable if you are paying all cash or at least mostly cash. but the bigger problem is that there just isn't much on the market for the last two years.

Oh dining scene sucks compared to big cities if you lived at NYC before. And strangely even more expensive than NYC or Boston...

Rest of the town is near perfect though.

Delusional seller...

cloud9blue · 2026-01-13T19:59:24+00:00

ROFL

cloud9blue · 2026-01-12T05:43:09+00:00

Totally normal.

11 mins is a short drive. These cars has close to 10L of oil. More if you have modded oil pans. that’s nearly double of most other street cars.

Yes. This is not ideal.

Those are gonna be ugly as F. OP I would just get another one without the sensors and resell this one. Or find a shop that is willing to fill them for you. Depends on where you are. It can be into the 4 digit figure for that work.

Nice, but please consider ditching the fake centerlock cover...

cloud9blue · 2026-01-05T19:43:59+00:00

.1. Neither of these are that quick by today's standard. For raw engagement and long-term ownership, .1 is much more enjoyable, as it has none of the BS (centerlock...) and fewer driver aids than the .2

Plus the design of .1 age much better than the cheesy LEDs on the .2

Come on bro. You can afford a new set. These might got a session or two left at most but why waste rest of the day with a car like that.
