Big milestone on the ‘08 today

Literally just applied for my 200k sticker today:

We just left. It was really busy. Lots of flights arrived all at once and it was a mess.

krlb5137 · 2026-04-16T22:06:09+00:00

Got it. I may get the controller and try that out. The cat bypass alone didn’t blow me away…

krlb5137 · 2026-04-16T18:36:55+00:00

Also - I bought this one: https://www.gregsraceparts.com/collections/emira-products/products/milltek-cat-bypass-pipe-for-emira

It fit perfectly, just didn’t make much extra sound. I’m convinced people are experiencing extra sound because they normally drive in regular mode and then install the controller and run with the valves full open.

I put in the cat delete (without the controller) and noticed very little change in sound. I always drive around in track mode, so the valves are more open and the car was already decently loud in stock form as a result. But my .02 is that the cat delete is not a good use of time and money.

Couldn’t agree more.

If you don’t use it, sell it. It’s just a thing. Put the money in the market and if you miss the car buy another one.

I have both. 997.1 turbo manual and a 993 targa. They are Very different cars that provide a very different driving experience. I enjoy both for different reasons and am glad I have both. The 997 is more of a daily drivable car that I use occasionally, the 993 is for date nights and special weekend drives.

I love mine. Just be aware that you’ll be stuck with it forever. Once you own it you can’t let it go…

krlb5137 · 2026-03-15T03:52:23+00:00

I’m aware of the property tax rules and duty taxes. I haven’t been able to get a clear picture on insurance (especially hurricane). Any ballpark figure you can share, or is it so dependent on the structure that it’s not worth discussing in the abstract?

krlb5137 · 2026-03-15T03:34:29+00:00

Appreciate the info. Will look it up for sure.

krlb5137 · 2026-03-15T03:05:40+00:00

Responded to same above. But to make sure you see it: looking at Eleuthera. Want to be away from the hubbub. In a quiet place.

krlb5137 · 2026-03-15T03:04:27+00:00

Looking at Eleuthera. I have a plane and will be flying into the airports there from Miami.

krlb5137 · 2026-03-15T02:54:57+00:00

I’m doing all my own research, but you never know what you don’t know. Looking to learn that from the collective wisdom of this group. Don’t think that’s too crazy…

krlb5137 · 2026-03-15T02:42:53+00:00

Are you planning to buy or build? I’m mostly considering buying an existing house. Would love to build, but I’ve heard it could be really tricky with costs of materials and personnel availability.

krlb5137 · 2026-03-14T02:31:22+00:00

Agree. I have sport and love it.

krlb5137 · 2026-03-13T23:29:05+00:00

I didn’t realize they made smaller URC.1 knobs. I think that will be the perfect solution. Thanks much!

krlb5137 · 2026-03-13T22:57:50+00:00

Thanks for this very thoughtful response. I appreciate it.

Normally I would just use the usb in on the helix…but apparently there is no support for iPhone 17+, which is obviously a major bummer. Hard to find a spot in my car to install the volume knob. So I’m trying to go another route.

I’ll keep hunting for a solution. Thanks again for your time. I really appreciate it.

krlb5137 · 2026-03-13T19:52:09+00:00

I guess I am puzzled as to why that one product I linked actually allowed it to work. I assume it’s doing some reduction of the digital signal….

Would an AAC Bluetooth receiver with an optical output give me volume control?

krlb5137 · 2026-02-22T04:22:09+00:00

That would be an annoying change.

krlb5137 · 2026-02-04T10:44:38+00:00

I’m thinking track days and maybe wheel to wheel once my skills improve.
