    I can upload the image to RT, but can’t post it. Android, same thing. Sorry..l

    It was the exact same thing for me. Upload was possible but then impossible to post it. But now it works again for me  Smiley

     

    What a perfect garage you have !!! Smiley   Such nice shades of blue. Congratulation on the 4RS. It will be very interesting to get your driving impressions compared to the Lambo. 


    Re: GT4RS

    Thanks Gnil, once it’s warmer I can drive some more. -10C this week…

    Re: GT4RS

    No point driving it at such cold temperature. Mine is asleep until about mid march .


    Re: GT4RS

    Mine also.

    I contacted Manthey Racing to inquire about what needs to be done at the start of the season. I had an oil change (of only 4 liters) at my local dealership just 3000 km ago and new brake pads and fluid about 1000 km ago (MR setup).
    Manthey replied that there are 2 recall actions and that they would conduct a vehicle inspection for the track season. They would need 3 hours for it.

    Does anyone know what the recalls are (forgot to ask)? Mine is a MY22. I'm booked in for mid February. 


    Re: GT4RS

    I haven’t heard about this, so if you learn something please post it.

    Re: GT4RS

    Will do wink


    Re: GT4RS

    There is a recall for the LWB seats (airbag software) and another for the oil filler pipe (at least on GT3 with same engine).

    Have a friend with 992 GT3 whose oil filler pipe caused the cap to become loose and dumped oil all over the engine at the track and made a big smoky mess.

    Re: GT4RS

    Good news! I got the call Friday and am speccing my Spyder RS! PCNA gave an extra allocation to my dealer with expected June delivery!


    Re: GT4RS

    Congrats ! Have you settled on spec options? 


    Re: GT4RS

    GT silver, Weissach and stripe, carmine interior and belts, red badging, dials, and top trim. I asked my dealer to check if exclusive would paint red darts on the rear quarters like some 550s, but it is unlikely given the expected delivery date of June. I’ll order Bose but delete Sirius and do want the brakes in steel for the red calipers and will stick with the dark silver standard wheels. I also specced the rear Porsche logo in silver, not black. I’ll be letting the S550 cab go, as I cannot keep more than 4 cars at home, and my wife won’t drive the S even though I bought it for her.


    Re: GT4RS

    Congrats!!


    Re: GT4RS

    Congrats blush  You will be the second on this forum to own the GT4 RS + the GT4 Spyder. 

    Will you keep both? 

    To me the spyder is the better looking and will probably be the summit of what a car of today can give in terms of emotions on country  roads.


    Re: GT4RS

    Thanks to both of you.

    Gnil, I will keep both, and the Evo RWD Spyder. My wife is very understanding!

    Will be interesting to read your comparison between the Spyder and the Evo. Different leagues, same philosophy. 

    You have a fantastic wife Smiley


    Re: GT4RS

    I was told, as part of the recall, wheel covers are being retrofitted to the rear bumper, and a control cable for the exhaust flaps is being revised or secured.


    Re: GT4RS

    Thanks Gauss, I need to check on that.

    Gnil, I need to put a set of Cup2 tires on the Evo and then try all 3 cars back to back. The P Zeros are not at the same level in my opinion, and I would want to be as objective as possible.

    Spyder RS build date is April 22. Dealer pickup May 28. No Zuffenhausen or Leipzig delivery available, so my fantasy of going through all the alpine passes is fading away…

    Re: GT4RS

    These blue question marks are all I see, but I did paste some screenshots from the configuration


    Re: GT4RS

    I managed to do my first center lock wheel change. I noticed that after tightening the bolt to 600 Nm and then loosening it by 90°, the bolt can be moved (tightened) by hand. Can someone please confirm if this is correct?


    Re: GT4RS

    You have the new version.  You no longer need to back'em off 90 degrees.  Its in the manual.angel

    Are you sure?  I think my GT3 manual (with newest version) requires that…

    Re: GT4RS

    You only have to do it if the following parts have been replaced: wheel hub, brake disc, wheel bolts, wheel, or central bolt. I wanted to play it safe and did it anyway, and was surprised at how much the bolt loosened. Can someone confirm please?

    Yeah, it sounds pretty normal to get loose (but I never tried without the wrench).  I always do the double tighten thing every time as well.  If it different on just one wheel, I’d be worried.  If they’re all the same, then I don’t think I’d worry about it.  The idea is to get it fairly loose to seat the aluminum paste better by going from loose to tight twice…

    That makes sense. Thanks, Grant.

    Last year my friends 992 GTS and my 991.2 GT3 Touring got new tires on the same day…I can confirm that in the 992 GTS manual the release and a second fastening is not necessary any more, just in the 991.2 manual.

    We were surprised…
