I love the red/burgundy roof color! Keep that theme for sure!

I prefer the greyer silvers vs the blue-ish silvers which I feel have a colder look. But it's all personal preference. Good luck with the work!

Since its going to be a major rebuild and I am not intending to sell it for a while, I am putting more and more into it ... who says its like drugs ? I am addicted.

Dear experts : I am considering Michelin PS4, Pirelli P Zero TM (both are new tread patterns) for the car. Only road use. Wet road performance and tyre noise are part of my considerations. Any suggestions ?



Tramont CUP arrived. Highly recommended of their service !

According to my local tyre dealers PSS is no longer available and replacement is PS4. Not sure if PS4 is as good as.

Check Tire Rack for your sizes in the PSS. I'm sure the PS4 will be excellent. Michelin hits home runs.

Default OE or adjustable engine mount?

Dear Experts, I need to replace the old worn out engine mount and wonder if I should use OE or these adjustable mounts from Rennline ? They seem to be cheaper than OE Porsche parts . I don't track the car, can the Rennline ones provide a compliant and comfortable feel for street use ? Thanks.
