Thank you, Thank you... and fair enough on the Caliper comment lol...or lack there of. I haven't decided anything yet...
There is part of me that wants to just go Gloss Black and Yellow Porsche Lettering... I just personally can't stand the flat black/grey ones that come on the car and feel like it needs to stand out more. Maybe High Gloss Agate and Yellow letters or something like that... but they should be gloss painted either way.

lol. Considering the priceless vehicles I saw in just a span of an hour, I have to imagine some other wild cars/colors have made their way through Stelvio long before me haha.

Those are beautiful pics - they need framing.

Took my teenage daughter for a drive, she asked how can I drive so fast and change gears at the same time! So more than enough power haha.

[QUOTE=AdamIsAdam;18865268]I did it myself but at my friend's shop, so I had the car on a lift. With that being said, this is an extremely easy car to DIY oil change. You'll need the car up on either ramps, jack stands, or ideally QuickJacks. You really want the car level when draining the pan. You can follow this DIY video (see below). I do have one important tip to share: when the car is cold, remove the engine cover (which requires that you open the radiator and oil caps and reinstall them - doing that later on a hot engine can be both messy and dangerous). (I changed brake fluid at the same time, which is why my wheels were off.)

I bought a good 36mm oil filter cartridge socket but any 36mm should do. I also already own the oil plus removal tool, but I think you can use a screwdriver. I like to use the right tools - it makes me feel like I know what I'm doing lol.

I found somewhere that the engine holds 8.3qts. DO NOT OVER FILL A FLAT 6 ENGINE. They do not like that! In fact, the manual calls for the proper oil level to be about 75% between the full and add marks. For me, I added 7.5qts and later needed the additional .5 qt to bring it to 8. Now I'm at that 75% full mark. Perfect!

Oh, and get a long funnel or one with a long tube.

I'll post some useful pics below, and also a good video to watch.




Thank you, Much appreciated.

I'd go gloss black. I recently painted the GT Design wheels on my Macan Turbo in Neodyme and now I find that the big reds compete with Neodyme and it's just too much color. The Turbo GT, which is my inspiration, has PCCBs and they look perfect with Neodyme. However, I can't bring myself to paint them yellow so I'm going with gloss black. Yellow against Agate may have a similar effect where the yellow competes with the Agate.

Base Carrera PDK reaches 312 km/h indicated (~194 mph). That's at least 300 km/h (186 mph), after subtracting speedometer error.
Carrera T sits 10 mm lower, could/should go even faster.

At 5:23

what about starting with some yellow Porsche lettering in the form of decals? With the yellow belts, it might be a tasteful, subtle combo before going full blast on the yellow caliper repaint. That benign said, I think the yellow calipers with agate lettering would look great

here’s a quick site I found with the decals:
