Any comments or feedback on the necessity &/or use of a "Center Lock Wheel Tool" which apparently is neither a CL socket or a wheel guide for protecting PCCB rotors, said to:

" . . . . designed to ensure that your wheel lock is secured in place. We all know that the street version of the Porsche center lock system is not the most practical. This is a must for those who track their cars and are constantly changing wheels. With this lifetime warranty Delrin Polymer tool you can make sure that after a wheel change your lock is secured in place, therefore giving you peace of mind and confidence. Also some of you have already experienced stuck locks, using this tool makes your life easier. This is something that should have come with the car from the factory.
- Eliminates possible loose wheel lock
- Delrin Polymer
- Lifetime Warranty . . ."

Changed to this one, thanks!

I'm also curious. I haven't seen anyone else post about needing this.

Its a copy of the Porsche Motorsport tool.
Works great, better than a bolt with a nut on it but it does the same.

Lightweight seats.
 

Any lightweight bucket seat options other than the P11's for those who have the standard sport seats? Hopefully ones with better fit and matches interior and possibly stitching too?

I'm still very unclear what this tool does.

Its a lot smaller than it looks.

The car comes with the CL socket and a small tool with a clip on the end for popping off the GT3 cap, and the other side of that tool is what this tool replaces. After you have attached the wheel you wiggle this thing in there and it pops the lock out.

It's not really necessary since you already have one that doubles as the cap remover.:thumbup:

I bought some Cobra Suzuka Pro Technologies earlier. Look good, super comfortable, 18lbs.

My 18ways weigh 63lbs.

I've only done the CL change once, but also seen several videos, and I don't recall that tool ever being used.

People normally use a socket extension to pop the lock out, but this thing is made to do it. Take a look next time you got a minute.

The amazon tool is a little nicer

Sorry, I'm sure this seems annoying, but I literally have no idea what you're talking about. Can you reference a video where someone uses this tool? I certainly didn't need it when I removed and put back on my wheel. I'm just trying to understand here.

This one does not have the breaker bar.......

This guy is using a socket extension, but the small tool does the same thing.

Has anyone considered or used a torque multiplier setup, see, e.g.

and I gather there are many other types, of, or for which (& here I am making an assumption, since I've not done any of this) one could use a good quality regular 1/2" or even 3/8ths inch drive torque wrench?

Just wondering if that's a reasonable alternative approach to the 4ft+ or whatever it is 480lbft 3/4tr inch drive unit.
