I have half of that system in my RST; I overloaded the rears and swapped the mag shocks out with Arnott units - works better IMO.

Talking Installed this rare wheel set (Turbo S Exclusives)


I was very fortunate to find someone selling the turbo s exclusive wheel set aftermarket. Anyways, I finally had time to have them installed, as well as the GT3 side air vent in gloss black to match the car. If anyone could help, I am trying to find out the value of turbo s exclusive wheel set ... Thanks. MF

I dig the Exclusive Wheels on the black color... Not sure how they'd look on my Silver or something lighter.

easiest way to avoid Air Care was to insure your vehicles for use out of the Air Care regions (Metro Vancouver) - worked fine, never had to Air Care.

Sport mode does seem to stiffen things up when cornering at higher speeds, with minimal body roll.

Overall, the car feels much more planted and less susceptible to chassis upset, and a noticeably more comfortable ride. A lot of folks think the DSC only offers track benefits, and while it certainly does that, there are significant street benefits.
This is my experience too with the DSC V3 controller.. Given, I don't track my 991.TT cab - the benefits are that it improves the daily driving with the suspension in Normal mode (less jittery especially over the freeways we have here in So Cal). If you want to go do some Canyons or more spirited driving - sport mode makes things stiffer and better for that purpose..

I would guess publishing illegal suggestions isn't tolerated. I support that policy.

I don't know for sure, because I haven't researched what he was talking about. However, it appeared to be a suggestion to evade government regulations in his area.

EDIT: Here's a link

I'm in Metro Vancouver, what he said was actually accurate - if your car was insured for use in areas outside of Metro Van, you did not have to air care it. that being said, Air Care was scrapped because it was a cash grab.

OK, but if you lived in, and housed the car in an area when/where Air Care was required, wouldn't that have been a premeditated attempt to evade regulations?

That's probably what the mods concluded.

I think that would be the case if you never took it out of the prescribed area, but in my case, I regularly travel to the States and Alberta, and because BC insurance is state run, you had to define travel areas when your purchased insurance, so, I never had to do Air Care either.
