Budster:It is truly beautiful: it appears to have been hoven from Princess Amidala's Nubian Royal Starship... (I've always wanted to say that!)
"Hoven"??
Is that Klingon?
I meant Hewn...! Haha - where on earth* did I get "hoven" from! I'm making up verb conjugations here...
(*Not from Earth, clearly... Maybe it is Klingon)

now the exaust come louder only with rpm >3500 and if you push "hard" the trottle... ( original carrera S map)
then... I don't know . Consider that my Pzentrum has not the 991 tecnical book yet :(
if we are in troubles , we disconnect the wiring from valves and they wil be only on : )

Hi Sergio, long time no read Many congrats on your beautiful 991S - great looking combo though I guess the Interior is Espresso rather than Cocoa
And yes, please open a new thread on the 997 Cup and your Green Hell adventures - I will spend your box a visit on the next occasion

Beautiful car Sergini; just the way I would order it (except the sunroof)
Tomorrow, I'll attend Porsche Roadshow @ Istanbul Park and drive the new Boxster and Carrera. I'm sure I 'll love the both new model.

sergini:
thanks guys !
I love that car ! I had 7 porsche ,but every time the last is better then others : )
for lowering I have 2 options : H&R by FVD, very cheap , I had H&R in my former 997.2 S , the car looks better but bad confort ( no problem for me using also a Cup ) and K&W , both 30 mm lowering .
better H&R or K&W ?
what about Cargraphic ? they seems to have not new items from a long time....
I'd like to lower the car only 20 mm ( i live in old city with bad streets) but seems that all tuners do 30 ... I can do 1 cm spacer by my Motorsport team but I don't know....
this was my former Porsche lowered 30mm

Don´t go 30mm on your new stock beautiful 991, it will look to much "tuning look", not OEM. If you go 20mm it will be perfect and that´s what Porsche uses too. Your former 997.2 was to low, look at my 997.2 with 20mm, 10mm really makes a difference. Try to get a company who can get you 20mm, maybe Eibach have it already!!!

Steven you are right , -30 is too much and H&R are too hard for standard absorbers , better Eibach.
i ordered Eibach and they will be avaible in Italy next month .
i mounted the PSE , what a wonderful sound!!
Next week we try to put the PSE button , but even if doesn't fit ( unless tequimpent PSE is not avaible) the sound is not too loud . I ll drive allways with PSE on ... And for long distance trip in motorway I'll go in 7th at 150 kmh at 3000 rpm ..perfect.

PDK is not an automatic gearbox, you just need to get used to it. Of course you can downshift at higher rpm but when the system "feels" that you could hit the rev limiter, you can't shift. I remember a friend who owns a GT3 and when asked how many times he actually hit the rev limiter when shifting, he always said never. At his first engine failure, he got into a fight with Porsche and they found at least 20(!) relevant rev limiter events in the system. Apparently he wasn't aware of it...adrenaline pumping and all.
The factory chassis setups are very conservative, there is definitely room for improvements.
Congratulations again, beautiful car.

PDK ...... it's fast , it's good ,BUT ...... I hate that stupid downshifting ....
Thanks for the pics and report.
That is also my main ( and only real one ) complain . The stupid downshifting that feels like an automatic
I was yesterday at the track in DIjon and coming up from the ' dip' it did that I then had to be faster so it would stay in gear
