Who's going to be the first T with the new crest? Mine starts production in about 3 weeks... They are supposedly going to change over the crest starting second half of this year.
To me, this makes it unique. 1) the T side decal plus 2) matching rims & mirrors & decal colors….so smooth looking. My car designer buds think that combo makes it very special….

It looks sharp! I'd like to see how it looks in person to see how the underlying honeycomb structure plays with the light.
Some observations on my second drive (London down to the South coast):
Generally very easy to drive in the city/busy traffic. Clutch nice and light and the gearbox slick already. Couple of mistaken 5th's into 4th rather than 6th as the spring back to the 3rd/4th plane is quite strong but that will stop with more practice. First 4 gears are so so easy to navigate and snick into place
For anyone waiting for their T be patient - it's worth the wait.
I’ve been to the south coast as well as Bristol. Nice pics. I think in time 5th, 6th and 7th will be buttery smooth. Combination of u getting more used to it + gearbox losing some of its notchy feel. 7th was a bit awkward for me 1st time but now 1 thru 7 feels buttery smooth.
I’m interested in your input on adding the factory aerokit (rear wing) to my build when it arrives (I found a hard to get factory 992 wing). I really wanted my T to have the rear wing instead of the spoiler. I’d have to have it painted and professionally installed. I’ve already got the exclusive design front and rear so it would match right up. Here is my car without it and I could always reverse it. Thoughts on adding a factory rear wing to the T ????
I think it’s only fair and practical to start a new audio topic. I mentioned this already a few times. Having all the audio posts together in 1 post will improve searching back for other future buyers as well. And will annoy less people here who are not interested. I would just like to ask Barkat to post his long thread there again? That seems to be the first “audio related action”.
Just picked up my manual Python Green T and absolutely love it. Love my Spec, Carrera T package in Lizard Green is awesome, glad I did the steering surround in leather and seat backrests painted and in leather, looks beautiful. Also the headliner and visors in Race-Tex was a must, hate the cheap cloth.
This post without pictures is just torture!

I don’t understand what you mean. Do you mean compare between sport and normal? Or both in sport but comparing autoblip with revmatching yourself?

You have to understand that there are more changes with the aero kit to the body of your car. Like the engine compartment and (brake) lights.

I’m a rookie so please tell me more. I have the wing on hold. If it can be done I’d like to do it. I want to do it! I feel like I should just buy the factory wing and then figure it out as my SA said he only sees 2 wings in stock in the United States and the factory has shut off the rear wing as a option. Help!

It definitely can be done. Not that complicated. Plenty of Utube vids on eliminating factory wing and replacing it with something else. Not sure if you’ve worked on cars but could be DIY. If not have pro install it. I was thinking about it myself but I won’t do it if I’m not 100% sold on the design. Simply not my style, that’s all. I think Porsha “recommends” u have the Sports front bumper but I spoke with my designer acquaintances (they’re prominent industry designers- experts on aerodynamics, etc) and not concerned with adding it to my T. Confirm with your dealer anyway for peace of mind. I saw it for sale at Suncoast…is that 1 of 2 ur SA mentioned? Maybe more exists?

Agree just have it painted and installed. Don’t worry about the aero wizards. If you want that look do it. The sport design and aero stuff is just like the fire extinguisher. There may be a tiny bit of functionality in extremes but it is mostly cosmetic. I’m adding gt3 side skirts - just cosmetics.

U fellas can continue the dialogue. As mentioned, I will only come to this thread. Only other is that pic thread to pick up pics for the montage vids. Not engaging there either. I’ve already shared my experience with car audio here and exactly what I think is best depending on what one is wanting to accomplish. So, nothing really further to add on matter. But feel free to ask me anything further on the topic here. My first job out of college was a DJ at a large nightclub in Downtown LA. I still have my Technics 1200s. I’m a music freak so i need bare minimum quality in all my cars period. I’m sure other music lovers feel the same way. Best advice I can give which I’ve given several times here….talk to a lot of your local audio specialists. They’ll figure out what’s best for ur individual needs. Good luck
Some observations on my second drive (London down to the South coast):
First time I think I've seen SD bumpers with the black side skirts. Looks clean Did ya head to Brighton?

Thank-you sir. It's down a little over an inch all around. Alignment scheduled for tomorrow morning and she may come up a little bit. 18mm spacers up front and 14mm in the rear.

Had him rev with his aftermarket exhaust. I’m going to need to hear yours in person soon. Probability of my exhaust mod keeps rising.
I'm down. Going to get the M Engineering tune ASAP which will keep valves fully open and sound a lot better. The tone is amazing with the JCR, just needs a little volume bump.

I like that! Hopefully aftermarket catches up soon.
@tourenwagen thank you for that. Looks like I could've gone a bit more aggressive on the ET with the wheels I ordered. I added 10mm ET rear and 15mm ET front to the stock ET numbers. Do you know the least amount of drop you can dial with KW HAS? Targeting 3/8ths rear and 5/8ths front.

Ha, you are killing me with the mods. After the Ferrari SF90 toying with me the other night, u know I was thinking about the tune also!
R U around tomorrow for lunch/beer? I need to confirm my work schedule in the AM. I’ll PM u in the AM also if u can make it tomorrow?

I’ve been looking at my key fob for 10mins trying to figure out how this new crest is different and….I can’t
