Got a nail in my left rear tire and was all set to plug it. Pulled out the culprit and didn’t have a leak. Sometimes you just get lucky.
Never seen a nail go in at that angle. Didn’t know people still plugged leaks (instead of patch). Love the looks of that floor jack. Looks quality, retro and streamlined. Looking to buy car tools again after decades. Is it solid?
So I’m configuring my second T allocation and have been informed by my SA that they will take PTS orders but if/ when they accept it, it cannot be changed, it’s locked. Here is my Gulf blue spec loaded up pretty good with yellow belts and stitching. If they don’t accept my choice I’m going shark blue.
Looks amazing. Just my 2 pennies. I wouldn’t do yellow stitching. @mitchs_996 lava orange on gulf blue would blend so nicely. One more thing. U need to get the proper T emblem, ha.
No should do >>

Interesting build and love Gulf. Now that I have 900 miles on mine I was thinking - if I were ordering today what I would do differently.
PG not available and I wouldn't do PTS. So Shark Blue might be my alternate color but PG is just so different than most anything else. While the lizard green interior package is so good, I don't think it fits with SB. So I'd probably do the standard chalk T interior. Then I'd spec Bose because it is available now. The only thing on my current build I might skip is ambient lighting. The rest would be the same. No SD, no FAL, no RAS, no LSWB.
I'm predicting $15,000 over sticker minus $5000 for leaving FAL up for photos.
Watching as well - last day and we have lots of bidders. Up to $120K already on a $132K sticker price. Interesting that the window sticker wasn't laminated. Mine was!
Thanks. Indeed not the best with that brightness. Hopefully some new pics soon. Love the color and choices. Yellow belts and tacho. Stitching. Porsche weapon on the crest. Love it. Especially with the shark blue. What a dream combination. I would order it now like that in hindsight.

I was wondering why you didn’t do that for many months now too

Lol. Should kick that video for people who still don’t know. You with your photographical memory got any idea which page it was?

100% orange stitching. Leave the belts black. You can change them later. You can definitely do a white tacho and chrono with this combination. I also see you got the most leather options included which is a must with such a beautiful specced car. Lower door parts and inner sill door guards. Don’t forget the last bits: fusebox with the middle vent part in leather and the floormats and the backside of the rear view mirror. So your deviated stitching is really fully paid off to the max. I think Race Tex will work brilliant in this killer combo. Golf blue with orange stitching and white dials and the race tex steering wheel and shifter. Endboss. For sure. But please leave the “Carrera T” logo! All other 992 already have that so it’s less special.
EDIT I see now that in USA you have the Extended Leather Package for $1,360. This really is a bargain. Great choice. But I also see you don’t have the backside of the seats in leather. I think this would be a must with this combination. If you are at the end of your budget I seriously would consider dropping the Extended Dashboard in Leather and adding the backside of the seats in leather. Reason being the dash is already in leather so you are only paying for that small part stitching in front of the chrono. While in the 991.2 the leather dash had the stitching everywhere on the dashboard. This really is a rip-off by Porsche. Would be my advice.
Super interesting. I lol'd at Passenger Volume differences.
Wheels are designed and custom made for me. Only set in the world. Color is the silver in the E46 M3 CSL which is one of the nicest silvers I've ever seen on a wheel. I originally got them in an Agate-like gray thinking I would keep the T elements then changed my mind and got them painted.
I wanted double five spoke because they are the lightest/strongest wheel design and because they look the best on 992s IMO. I love the GT3 wheel.
8.5x20 ET38 22lbs
11.5x21 ET57 25lbs
I kept stock sizes to fit the N-rated tires for Carrera. I thought of going GT3 sizing but I don't want to run Cup2 or F1 on this car.
I love, love the wheels, but man they take like 2 years to clean after a track day (GT3RS Wheels especially)

I’ll play that game also. Guessing highest bid is $135K. @DSC48 But u have to stop posting comments there to drive up price, ha. Just Kidding…probably makes no difference. If I was bidding on it, I’d already have a max number.

My strategy for bidding would be to decide on my max price but only start bidding in the last few minutes (if not already over my max). Once exceeded tap out and move on.
