New Tires - Yokohama Advan Apex & Oil Change - Liquimoly 5w-40

Factory Pirellis had plenty of tread but where starting to dry rot and crack between front treads, 11K / 5yrs.

interesting choice in rubber, is there a reason you went with these over the PS4S that most folks here run?

Price was very good ($998 OTD) and I have always liked Yokohama (had quite a few of their performance tires in the past), they have some pretty good reviews also.

The Michelins were the next choice for me, they are very good tires also. Anything at this point is a step forward from the Pirelli P-zeros in my opinion.

OH WOW, a lot more affordable than PS4S, curious to see how they hold up for you.

Got some catching up to do. My first post here since I bought my 2019 T a few months ago.
Oil, Castol SRF brake fluid and d pre cabin filter change by me.
DSC V3 controller - bought like new from Rennlist member
19" Apex forged wheels and Nanking AR-1s for track work
Soon: More track focused alignment and OEM "Carrera T" graphics installed. I bought the car with Carrera R stripes and door graphics which I have since removed.

Cheers

Didn't buy anything but painted my steering wheel and chrono clock trim black. Could not stand the silver trim and it was too much glare.

I have the same tires, for a few thousand miles now. I'm very happy, and the wear is pretty good.

Finally got sport headers installed, dyno tuned and some minor maintenance. There feels like so much more power and kick in the pants down low and throughout the midrange and the flat spots are gone.

Not a cheap mod after the tuning and install (my shop ran into some snags) but totally worth it!

Sport heads on an N/A engine is SUCH a worth while upgrade. The combination of instant throttle response and newly found torque makes the improvement feel much more than the real 30-40 RWTQ down low

Enjoy

My car was delivered new with Advans. I am still on the same fronts, with a second set of rears, and feel very satisfied. No track time, but good road performance and reasonably quiet.

Good to see another 914 guy around here Bob...

Sconn- TTS still in the family. Never drove the GT3 and for what it was now worth was afraid to drive it, and was VERY happy with the result at BAT. Freeing up some $$ for incoming Taycan GTS ST... and the 914's aren't going anywhere, and never will...

Like the feel of the T- feels a lot lighter and more responsive than the TTS- obviously not as fast but will do better after a softronic tune... And it doesn't have a sunroof!!!!!

Wrapped rear engine grille, looks great but will replace with OEM part. Can't decide between painted stock black, chrome or black upgrade version (suncoast).
Removed/replaced stone guard with glossy black wrap. Haven't decided - probably will go traditional matte then maybe clear again.
Purchased ash tray without lid (haven't installed).
Purchased black leather armrest (extended height) with crest. Haven't installed.
Wheels... Thats next .
Congrats on the 911! What wheels are on your shortlist?

I have a 2017 C2 PDK with PSE. Mods so far include a APR stage 1 tune and Akra cats. Getting Tial inlets, BMC filter and SOUL headers installed tomorrow and I’m super pumped!
