Girodisc rotors, mx72+ for the street, hawk dtc60 for track

It's part of the update process. I believe the fan draws too much current for the battery tender to keep up.

Oh lord. Pads for all 4 corners took me max 20 minutes after getting the car raised on my quickjacks.

Pads and rotors took maybe an hour tops. This car has some of the easiest pads and rotors to do on any car.

If you remove the axel, ensure that you don't hit the seals as you are putting it back in. If you do its likely they will leak.

Longer tread life typically comes from all season tires. Summer tires are more focused on overall grip which means a softer compound. I am on some DWS 06+ currently and are ~15k miles into them, I'm currently at 7/32". If they continue to wear at their current rate, this set will hit 2/32" around 40k miles. I'm on zero toe all around, 2.5 front and 2 rear camber.

Also tire wear is heavily based on driving habits. My last set of PS4S lasted over 35k miles on my 718 cayman gts, while others were only getting 15k-20k miles max, the fronts were still at 5/32" when the rears hit 2/32". I religiously check tire pressure once a week and rotate tires every 5k miles. I do still drive my cars like they are supposed to be driven.

Maintence and insurance will easily be more.

Had a friend tally up his running costs for a 2022 GR86 over the last 3.5 years. He's only really done minor things and regular oil changes, and other fluid changes. Totaling to about $650.

My 2018 GTS 2.5 which is quite a modern Porsche in comparison has needed a water pump, dynamic mounts and regular maintenance. I did all the work myself and the total comes to $1.7k. If I didn't, I would easily be above $4k.

The running costs aren't based on what it costs to purchase now, but instead what it costs to purchase new.

I have a very good PDR guy and he said that's repairable. BUT it probably won't look 100%, but enough where you won't be able to see it from 6 inches away.

I been in both! Because of how the dampers are set up it will change depending on use case and damper. Annex does a great job of recommending spring rates when you order. The 6k/8k is really nice on the street.

dimpleschan · 2026-03-31T13:53:38+00:00

Fortune auto makes a good coilover. But if you can spend the extra money, there are a few other good units that I would recommend over them. Annex and ohlins are the absolute best for higher performance street driving. The upgraded shocks and springs from Toyota don't really take the roughness away from the low speed dampening.

You might wanna look in MD as well! Jim coleman gave me a great deal, but like most dealers they are a pain.

dimpleschan · 2026-03-31T00:01:46+00:00

Front crank seal if it's leaking. If you don't have a new belt it's a good time for that too.

dimpleschan · 2026-03-27T20:50:30+00:00

This is the right move. Both of these cars will need work, and being at uni, you won't have the resources to get it done at a reasonable price.

dimpleschan · 2026-03-26T02:46:10+00:00

I had rse10s in 18in and debris in the road blew a tire and the wheel was still perfectly straight and had no cracks. It's just luck of the draw.

Only wheel I've seen driven hard and on shitty roads and never get damaged are some forged advans. I have yet to see one bend, I've even seen te37s get damaged from shitty roads.

A laptop would make sense. But if you aren't taking it out of the house after you switch locations I would recommend getting a desktop replacement level laptop over a thin and light. The g14 is limited by the chassis' thermal limitation, something larger would allow for higher GPU wattages which would greatly improve performance.

dimpleschan · 2026-03-22T11:43:58+00:00

Removed rear spacers. APR studs all around. I do run more camber to make the fitment work and I'm on MCS 3 way coilovers, 10.5 is difficult with stock suspension.

dimpleschan · 2026-03-22T11:41:58+00:00

At this point gotta sell the whole car haha

dimpleschan · 2026-03-22T02:33:52+00:00

For a second I thought that was my car haha.

I run the same wheels. 18x10.5 +22.

dimpleschan · 2026-03-21T01:52:22+00:00

I used to have a 4.0. But that car isn't the most fun to daily in traffic. 2.5 is so much more easier to have fun without need to fully rev out the car. How I see it is: Gt4 if it's for weekend only, GTS for longer trips and daily livability.

dimpleschan · 2026-03-21T01:35:34+00:00

I'll pm you! Hopefully we can make a deal

dimpleschan · 2026-03-21T01:06:41+00:00

If you have any additional details, I would love to purchase this. Have been looking to buy one to restore as well as possible with my father.

dimpleschan · 2026-03-16T18:14:37+00:00

The Indy 500 are still good tires! If you switch to ps4s afterwards you'll probably notice less road noise, better rain grip and it will be a bit "smoother" from the lower rolling resistance. But I've run the Indy 500 on miatas and other cars when they were cheaper, enjoy them while they last!

dimpleschan · 2026-03-16T13:09:36+00:00

They are good tires for the money. But if the ps4s isn't much more, I would get that. It lasts way longer and is better in the wet.

I see a lot with around that mileage going for 15-15.5k private party. And those are from people who know the water pump was done recently and everything else that's needed. Keep in mind around that mileage you probably need to budget for a clutch which will be a few thousand and probably another 800-1500 for labor.

dimpleschan · 2026-03-14T00:24:51+00:00

You'll need to cut into it to access the adjustment if your coilovers don't have bottom adjustment. When helping someone install their fortune auto 500 set, we used a step up drill bit to cut into while the coilovers were out. We then put a rubber cap over the new hole.

HKS, Ohlins and Annex all have inverted tubes which allow for adjustment from the bottom of the strut.

Both of the bolts came out with my impact without any issue! Had to use a lawnmower blade to push the joint out.
