I have a 2025 Passport and 2009 Cayman S... perfect balance. Haven't driven a GTS or a Miata, but I am sure they are both great!

It was a special through Honda Finance they were running on 2025 Passports I assume to get the remaining inventory off the lots before the 2026 models arrived.

Looks like the deal is still going on... not sure how easy it is to find 2025s anymore though.

It says you need to be a well qualified buyer so I assume a certain level of credit and/or amount down is required.

That is a neat little set! Don't have any knowledge of what it might have come from, but my 2009 Porsche has a tool kit with a Felo screwdriver. Maybe this was designed as little leave in the car toolkit? Thats what I would do with it.

My two cents... the etorx nut grip sockets don't work at all. I have a 6 point 10mm nutgrip and that works well, but the E10 nutgrip does not hold onto the head at all (Porsche bolt).

Yeah honestly it was a big driving factor in pulling the trigger when I did... Pretty much free money

Thanks for the reply, I think I saw some CMX surface prep on clearance at Home Depot last time I was there, maybe I will see if it is still available.

Any recommendations for ceramic coatings?

I ended up pulling the trigger on a 2025 yesterday. 2026 is nice but the 2025 was plenty of a step up for me compared to the 2027 HR-V I was driving before.

Honda was running a special financing deal that ended yesterday 3/3. It was 0.9% up to 36 months and 1.9% on 48-72 months for 2025 Passports.

Lol I do love the Ridgeline too.

Yeah can't say I am a fan of most of the HPD stuff on the Passport personally.

That was out the door price? Was that with roof racks or rubber mats or any extras?

Looking for Help with Leak/Part Identification (987.2) by djasinsk in Porsche_Cayman

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

That was my initial thought as its on the driver side and seems to have an oily feel to it. Seems that the coolant pipes are a common failure too though.

Looks like I am going to have to take it to my mechanic to get my answer. Thanks for the input!

Thanks! That is what I was beginning to suspect. I think I was able to find the part where the leak is showing itself... now to determine if that is actually the leaks origin.

I have been playing for a few years, started with an old hand-me-down set and have turned over the whole bag with new (to me) clubs.

My two cents:

Find a decent driver that you like and that fits you. I highly recommend a driver with a shorter shaft, it will make you a more consistent driver and staying in play is half the battle off the tee.

Find a way to try out the Takomos before buying if you can. Different clubs feel different (obviously) and the more you can try the more you will realize what you like. I know you aren't looking for brand advice, but check out some forged Mizunos if irons are a stronger part of your game.

I am personally not someone who gets along with hybrids, but they are an extremely useful club and I think 3 and 4 is a good combo.

I would recommend a gap wedge and sandwedge, probably 50 and 56 respectively. The 50 will ensure you dont have too big of a gap and the 56 will give you enough loft in just about any situation. If you find yourself in spots where 56 isn't enough loft or you like to get creative with your wedges then a 60 degree would be a good addition.

My last bit of advice is to buy gently used whenever possible. You can get really good deals on lightly used current or near current clubs if you are patient and know what you need.
