My DSC arrived today so I hope to install and test it this weekend (do I need to remove the rear seats for access?)

Hope to catch a ride another time though. Who's the keeper of the Bay Area Rennlist sanctioned track days and fun runs here??
Hey Chris,

Here's a video tutorial on installing in a 991!


In case you have a 981, here is the tutorial for that:

If it breaks, I'll fix it as I can't believe a Macan or Cayenne would be more fun to drive daily than a 911.
No Durbs.

The freeways are fine but the inner suburban roads are terrible. How's the Jozi backroads?

No Spasm

Jo'burg is ok. I'd rather drive a 911 on average roads than not drive a 911.

Sadly this is not a 15 min job in a non-GT3.

Larry looks like rear seat removal is needed to get to the lower edge of the carpet to lift and restore it properly. Didn't have time to get into it yet but not as easy as the video makes it look unless you have no rear seats!

DSC Sport please let me know if I am missing the fast path here...
