Possibly the plug issue. Im sure it will be an easy fix. Rest easy.

Allan, I thought you were getting an RS? When did you decide on a 16 GT3? Did you sell your Mexico Blue?

Life can be confusing: Got RS in August, became to valuable to track so I decided to let it go. Sold the Blue GT3 in July and was sorry I did. Actually liked it better than the RS. So, bought a new GT3 today. Love it but, will have to get problem corrected to enjoy it. First World problems. Best, Allan

Great work Allan. Its definitely the sweet spot given the crazy prices in the US for RS. I suspect as a result your GT3 is now heavily subsidized for you to enjoy without worry and lets face it that's a great place to be :-)

You were fortunate enough to source an RS. Sounds like you decided to flip the RS at a substantial premium. If I'm correct you are no better than the dealers. If I'm wrong and you resold at MSRP, my apologies. It's all just a vicious cycle with this RS, so happy with the GT3.

What colour is your 16 GT3? Just to let you know, your Mexico Blue avatar pic has been my favourite pic from day one.

If you had an RS, and had constant offers over msrp, and had learned that bending a fender would cost you 14000... What would you do?. Allan is a track guy. I see him there all the time. The sad state of affairs is the that RS is ironically too risky to track.

Mike,

I just had this recall preformed, and they provided new "sticker" pages to insert in our maintenance/warranty booklet.

I will post pics of it later when I'm back home.

Track guy or not, he is no better than a dealer scalping buyers. So much bitching on this forum how dealers charging premiums to the moon, but a buyer sells it "used" weeks later and it's cool. I believe RS buyers are savy enough to know what they are getting into by purchasing a 200k Msrp car to track. What would I do ? If I was fortunate enough to procure an RS, keep it many years. Again my point is if the forum going to bash the "greedy" dealers then you might want to look at the flippers too.

Dare to share some details , is the plug change now an annual 12 month interval ?

Or is it every 12k miles ?

Was your car one of the 334 on PCNA recall list ? How where you notified that your car was included in this recall issue?

Thanks for any light you can shed here!!

The astronomical costs of just a minor mistake at the track were a recent revelation. Hood, 2 fenders and a bumper is over 50k! This was news to all of us and many who track their RS started second guessing themselves

Thanks, ipse. Obviously your recall was done under warranty, but that begs the question that doubleurx (Nick) posed earlier. I was sold a 2014 with a stated 2 year interval on plug replacement. Now, after only 18 months, that's been changed mid-stream, apparently because Porsche has discovered that there will otherwise be problems, although my car doesn't qualify for the recall. So should I be on the hook for the early service which I understand costs several hundred dollars? I guess a call to my dealer, and perhaps PCNA, is in order.

This is the "sticker" page we are supposed to insert/replace in our maintenance/warranty booklet.
(the highlights in red are obviously mine).

Thanks. With regard to plug replacement on the GT3, the info on the new page is the same as the old: 12000 miles or 2 years. I guess I'm safe for another 6 months and all of the excitement is about nothing...
