Long story short, pulled the trigger on this a few weeks ago, and was somewhat hesitant on color since I gravitate towards brighter colors and was looking for a Miami Blue one. A Miami Blue one has now popped up, so thought I’d see if anyone would be interested. Most likely will keep but thought I'd at least put the feeler out there. Looking for 96k.

Carrera T
Trade in Carrera T
Got new Spyder
Trade in my beloved T and pick up new 718 Spyder.
T was very lovely car , I got it new and put 15k fun mi on it , finally after 2 years I figured out that turbo engine is not in harmony with manual transmission. Got Spyder and just after first 50 mi I understand NA beauty. Even my wife mention that Spyder is much “softer” and much more smooth and gears changing Michel easier and not as jokey as T, even with the bucket seats.
i guess GT suspension with 6 spd. MT and NA engine is the gem. Feel bad selling my T but very excited about new car.
i modified my T trying to come closer to GT cars and Spyder actually is good to go out of the box , needs nothing.

Guards Red is a match!
I have the dumbest ever T question.
The floor mats in my T are black. I want to order a set with the red trim. Which red (Guards or Carmine) best matches the red on the shifter ****? I plan to switch the door pulls and seat belts to red too. I think Guards Red is the best match. Any opinions? On the color, not how stupid this question is, thanks!

The fronts need at least 10mm in my opinion, and can easily handle 12mm. I think @Cyberbug even went to 17mm, which added a touch of poke.
The rears can handle 3mm spacers easy, 5mm is doable and some push to 7mm.
Lichtfield motors in UK did 7mm on all four corners to keep the front v. rear offsets consistent with the factory setup.
I think if you did 5mm all around it would improve the look, but the fronts would be lacking versus the very flush rear.

I ended up with 22mm (11 each side) added to the front track without spacers and therefore without altering scrub radius using shims on GT3 lower arms. Not bothered doing anything with rears but if I did then would go 5mm OEM Porsche spacers.

thanks for all the comments. i'd only go OEM and equal front to rear as to maintain the factory track width proportionately. will probably order them.

5mm front and rear. Surprised at how much more the fronts kick up from just 5mm.
