True. Problem is what is really cold? I set mine when I got the car in the Winter (cold) and again in the Summer (cold).

Best to check at least once a month.

Agree. I actually check it in the car when it's warmed up and see where I stand. Too easy.

Agreed. As I stated above, I try to check/set pressures when the outside temperature is around 20 degrees centigrade (as stated in the Porsche manual) and when the car has not been driven for several hours, and ideally not since the previous day.

If so, where did you get the "Carrera" sticker over the rear bumper? btw looks awesome.

Don't think I've seen that before.
Thanks! All custom made. I had them created by a graphic designer / PPF guy here in Vancouver. I think they work pretty good. I have a couple of other things to add and then it will be complete. The same script is also on the right front shoulder...

I have 5mm installed in the rear in these pictures. In the front no spacers in these pictures. I have tried 17mm and 10mm in front but will be installing 5mm in front. I felt 10 amd 17 both in front affected the handling, even though they filled the gap well. You can probably search for my posts amd pics for those. Here are pics with 5mm rear only.

I received my custom ordered Carrera T model to match my car today. I’m so happy with the work that Tobias (lives in Stuttgart even) put into the details.

Matching stripes, houndstooth seats, license plate, wheel, mirror, and grille colors to match my mods to my real car. Even the teeny tiny 911T rear badge.

Very nice. I'm guessing he started off with a Minichamps Carrera T?
I've been meaning to do something like this with a plastic model from Tamiya, but couldn't find one with the right rims.

Looks like those minichamps carrera Ts are just about sold out. Did order the gt silver when it was released from france, those were the first minichamp Ts sold out. Next was the white one and yellow. Some red ones still for sale.

I have a GT silver minichamps. Not looking to mess with it. Looking for a plastic model (Tamiya, Revell, etc.).

Sorry about that. Hopefully you’ll get a confirmation email.
