I'm really keen on doing a tune, with Softronic at top of my list. How does the car run at the track with the tune? Does it impact operating temps at all? I have soul headers/cats as well, happy with the tune performance and reliability so far?

I have an APR tune on my Carrera T (stage 1), sport cats and IPE exhaust. On 93 degree days oil temps never got over 237 or so and coolant remained fine. And this is without a center radiator, running in the most advanced groups. I wouldn't expect you to have a problem at all.

Appreciate that, good to know. I don't have a center radiator yet either, thinking about it for next season, but since you are in FL you are dealing with even hotter temps than I am in ATL.

Just back from 3 days at Watkins Glen, running in Blue/White group. Car was perfect, no overheating at all, 3rd year at HPDE, no issues. The car is very fast, I hit 130 at the top of the esses before grabbing 5th gear, 149 before braking for the Bus Stop. I highly recommend it.

New personalized plate. I was surprised that it wasn’t already taken.

Finally got around to installing the 991.2 multifunction steering wheel on my 991.1 after it sat on my workbench for a about a month as the ebay seller had pulled the wheel control module before shipping. Very happy with how it turned out, it changes the feel of the interior of the car. Install was easy, zero error lights.

I came from a 991.1 pdk sc sport wheel without heat, to a 991.2 pdk sc mf wheel without heat. Feel free to DM me questions as I had to do a good amount of research before proceeding.

Nice. Super jealous on this. I tried to get the same plate in California. It was available when I first looked, then sat on it for a bit as I wanted to make a trip to the DMV to ensure the centering was correct, and then I missed out.

Are the radio, bluetooth and the rest operational in the 991.1 with this wheel? Are there plugs already in a 991.1 to take this wheel?

That is a solid upgrade. Bravo! Everything works on the wheel?

Nice job, this update really changes the look. I did the same thing, however I opted for the MF steering wheel with heat and no **** on the lower right.

All you need to do now is delete the old MF lever on the lower right (you no longer need it).

I cruised around last night and tested everything. All radio and bluetooth are operation. You have to give the GPS adapter props, that is the secret sauce to getting this mod to work.

Everything works including dual paddle neutral selection and launch control. Joker button (diamond) takes you back to Vehicle Info on the display which was a nice surprise.
