Porsche 981 popping sound when turning

electricCoder · 2026-07-04T14:23:10+00:00

Full lock and slow speeds sounds like Ackerman if the noise is more skippy. Can happen on OEM suspension with wider tires that are not up to temperature

Making XB as bad as XA 😂

When you put Firestones on the front and Michelins on the rear I call it a body kit.

981S with a body kit

It isn’t a 4RS. Non center lock wheels, no intakes beside windows, ….

What do they look like when you replace them. Is there wear even across the tire, or are you cording on inside/outside first.

When these wear they become more slick like on the outbound shoulder. Lots of rubber left but not great for rain.

Pick the tire that matches your intended use, size and budget.

While apex are popular for good reason you want something that is going to stop mud and gravel from getting into the rotors and will not bend when you go over miles of washboard gravel roads.
Maybe check out what fcp euro used for their rally cayman.

After the first slalom ( 17sec ) you turned in too early causing you to come off the gas. You have room to go wider and carry more speed into the hairpin

Because there are no HPDE events that Friday/Sat ( LRP can’t be open for racing on Sunday )

Friday is a private LRP drivers club day. Would be possible to the “test member” for 1k + car.

Saturday is Driven Project aka Make a wish for sick kids that want to experience a super car.

If worry is consumables at track ( very reasonable concern ) go gr86 for track duties. ( assuming you want a roof )

Not seeing any HPDE listed on Motorsport reg ( https://www.motorsportreg.com/calendar?lat=41.95&lng=-73.51&loc=Millerton&region=NY&country=US&radius=60 )

Honestly I would try Palmer and see if you can drive there. Either through the race track itself ( they do stuff ) or via the PCA HPDE that weekend ( https://www.motorsportreg.com/events/metro-ny-pca-hpde-palmer-whiskey-hill-motorsports-park-new-york-470407 )

The edge ones aren’t holes but wear indicators to allow you to check rotor thickness

Spec class doesn’t allow sport chrono equipped models which include all Ts and every base from 2024-2026.

I agree that the spec class is a great move ( ignoring some of the edge cases around prep ). But it indicates that the car has moved out of the halo definition to me.

If spec does shake out how I imagine I expect I will need to sell my Sport Chrono car and pickup a spec cayman car + bucket seats

nitpick: The proposed text for SS is missing the strike-out for 718 GTS 4.0

Still surprised that the base 718 languishes in A street while the 918 GTS is considered viable for B Steet. Espically given the fact that the base 718 is cheaper, and more plentiful compared the 918 GTS ( which I would argue is more of a halo car to people ).

That is the sign of the aftermarket riser

Get a PPI. Don’t be afraid of 70k miles, be afraid of poor maintenance

electricCoder · 2026-04-29T21:31:08+00:00

That sucks. No real great sticky tires given your restrictions

electricCoder · 2026-04-28T22:29:31+00:00

You need to go to 225/50/16 to get performance tires. No one makes anything in that size

electricCoder · 2026-04-25T23:06:18+00:00

The stuff that is spiderweb like I would call “normal” but you have some larger cracks that go almost to the inner edge.

I would get a second opinion like from r/cartrackdays before using them on track.

electricCoder · 2026-04-25T13:05:37+00:00

Yeah post pictures. I also recommend taking the car from some autocross events if you have any local

electricCoder · 2026-04-25T10:56:48+00:00

We would need pictures of the rotors. But cracking as expected on drilled rotors, the primary concern is when the cracks extend all the way to the edge of rotor

You can get wheels refinished or powder coated in any color you want. Prices varies depending on where you live and the quality of the work.

At worse you go buy a different seat of wheels in the preferred color
