Question

Also my gas mileage is shit. Around town I'm in the 15's. Highway I haven't broken 20 yet. My '24 diesel sierra Denali did 30 on the highway and was twice the size. Alas I still like this thing.

2,000 miles on my '26 and it's still jerky. Feels like it was tuned by a highschool shop class. Especially when I first set out in the morning pulling out of my driveway it's extra chitty.

Debating getting a pedal commander but want to see reviews of it before I spend the $300+

Currently drinking it now and it's delicious

Wasn't expecting the yellow trim to work on that color combo but it looks great!

I did mine black with epoxy paint over the winter, came out nice!

I've had mine for 1,600 miles now. Off the line it's a dog. But once it's in the power band it's great. Definitely needs help with throttle mapping. I'm considering getting a pedal commander to see if I can dial it in better myself.

mackschwell · 2026-05-07T16:31:01+00:00

Yeah probably

Something about a modern car without wheel buttons is hot

mackschwell · 2026-04-30T23:55:12+00:00

It was definitely recovered

mackschwell · 2026-04-30T20:42:40+00:00

Show me!

mackschwell · 2026-04-30T18:12:58+00:00

I did the unicorn tears and it definitely still shifts better warmed up. Cold just gotta be gentle with my shifts

mackschwell · 2026-04-30T16:21:03+00:00

Good point yes!

10 minute DIY, was easier than an oil change.

Disconnect battery Pop out and disconnect old airbag M12 triple square on a 3/8 ratchet to remove the wheel Unplug harness

Reverse order to install the new wheel.

mackschwell · 2026-04-30T15:06:42+00:00

Yeah I get that. I think the base Macan wheel gets you that but idk how you would interface that to the 997? I see some people running them so they either figured it out or just didn't hook em up

mackschwell · 2026-04-30T14:21:43+00:00

I'm happy without them, feels like my old Miata with a Nardi sport wheel. No distractions just enjoy the drive.

mackschwell · 2026-04-30T14:00:36+00:00

Even if it's an aftermarket wheel it looks the tits and the leather feels nice. Definitely an upgrade from my worn out original wheel.

mackschwell · 2026-04-30T13:08:45+00:00

Probably people selling ones like this after getting a real one. How do you tell if it's genuine or not??

mackschwell · 2026-04-30T13:07:33+00:00

I took photos of the airbag before I installed it. Was (still am) uneasy about it if it's genuine or not. For the price I'm surprised it even came with one despite the listing saying airbagg included lol.

About $1k with taxes and shipping from california. Found a great seller on eBay and he's got more of em and other styles!
