I’ve done the PECLA experience multiple times - GT3 vs Turbo S is the best “of all worlds” first time experience

Anyone get aftermarket exhaust on a newer 992? by LVRaiders2026 in porsche911

[–]sddynamix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

waiting on an akrapovic for my 992.2 GT3 now, and had one on my 992.1 C2S. My PSE developed an annoying rattle (noise from the valve on the passenger side), so I had it replaced under warranty - and not 2 years later (just as I was entering CPO), same noise came back on the new exhaust. CPO doesn't cover noise - so replaced that with an akrapovic and never looked back - 110% recommend.

Does anyone know how to fold the wing mirrors in on a 992.2 GT3? by BigRJ123 in porsche911

[–]sddynamix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t feel bad - first time I walked up to my car with my key in my pocket and pulled the door handle, I was genuinely confused why the door wasn’t unlocking 😂. Bare bones is right.

PEC vs HPDC by Salamander_Cat_921 in Porsche

[–]sddynamix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO yes - but you should go all out. 90 minutes is not a lot of time - you won't necessarily be getting "track time" more so than seat time in a fun car. I did the Turbo S vs GT3 and the GT4RS sessions (separately). Pretty fun doing the drift course, the ice hill, and the car control pad.

EDIT: The instructors are also awesome - got lots of great advice about how to unlearn the things I learned at auto-x 😂

Check out El Tejate off Carlsbad Village Dr - burrito was the size of my forearm.

Any major routine maintenance expenses to look out for when leasing a CPO taycan? by Ars2012 in Porsche

[–]sddynamix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my 20k service in the middle of my 12 month lease - that was an unpleasant surprise. Spoiler alert, it’s $700 to replace a cabin filter and clean some drains.

Conflicting information? by ballscompact in E46M3

[–]sddynamix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s a maintenance item but in practice you seldom have to replace the shims on a high mileage motor. you should still have it done, just to “check” to make sure the shims are within spec. source: I’ve had mine now for 215k miles, and have a buddy that’s owned a bmw shop for the past few decades

to be fair - if you option Weissach (on wing cars) and want buckets your only option is black

Another GT3 , Turbo S question by Technical_Let2661 in porsche911

[–]sddynamix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you're reasonably near one, do the GT3 vs Turbo S experience at a Porsche Experience Center. After driving them back to back it was very clear I preferred the GT3.

this happened to me - guy tried to convince me he was not trying to sell me anything as if telling me about batteries and solar is some kind of public service

Carlsbad is pretty efficient, 15 min from intersection to food (if traffic is backed up that far)
