I was in the market for a while before I bought my T over a year ago, and I still pop on BaT and Autotrader to see recent cars for sale. Good luck finding a Miami Blue T! I’m not sure the last time I saw one for sale. If you see one and want it, do not hesitate, because I wouldn’t expect it to last long.

vinyl sucks as road protection. The vinyl was getting very beat up after a track day and 14k miles. Ppf is much more effective so this was the best of both worlds.
I also found a sport design rear spoiler to give it an update
Love the wheels, what are the specs and where did you get them, please? TireRack doesn't show those as an option.

STEK says British Racing Green but I agree with your assessment of Irish Green .

They are 991.1 fitment but it fits for me. A little aggressive in the rear but it fits.
20x9+48 (have a 10mm spacers to make it +38)
20x11.5+62

Just completed the 4-yr service, decided to do it myself except brake fluid mx. Dealer wants to charge $2.6k which given it took a day and a half for me with interruptions I think that’s reasonable but I decided I’d give it a go. It was definitely a time consuming endeavor but not too bad with patience and the right tools. Not sure if our Ts are the same as all other base but I found a few differences in the multiple videos I watched before completing the task like our oil filler is connected to the spoiler. By far the most difficult part was getting the two rear most spark plugs on each side out, just not a lot of room in there.

skill level 5 out of 10
patience level: 8 out of 10

Here’s some pics:


Tools

Get these…they are worth it on Amazon! Remember that you need 12 point 14mm spark plug sockets with swivel head. Porsche switched to those a while ago away from the 6 point. I found this out the hard way on my wife’s 718.

Spoiler up ready to begin

Taped tail lights

Oil filler attached to spoiler


Bumper off

New BMC filter in…it’s really hard not to want to get a ton of performance parts at this point and just install everything! Tial tubes, intercoolers etc but I kept going.

Right rear spark plug

Rear Left side spark plug

Six old plugs next to last new one to go in

Not who you asked, but I just did mine myself as well. Car was just over 4 years old and mileage at 16k’ish. Maintenance manual says 30k miles/4years for the spark plugs and 40k miles/4 years for the air filter and other service items (oil, etc.)

I'm at 7.7K and 4 years so contemplating tackling it myself as well. Thanks for the post. Really appreciate it!

PM me if you have any questions and good luck, it’s a great way to get to know your car.

As for the rear spark plugs if you remove the intercooler's you will gain access to the rear plugs. Takes minutes to remove.
