Been dialing in the Polar Turbo with a few changes... Refreshed the KW suspension, moved to 18" Apex wheels, played with the sway bar and suspension settings, and a few other tweaks. Just put on a set of X51 tips today I was able to source. Still up, install the GT3 carbon buckets I've been hoarding for a while!
The Arctic Turbo? while not cosmetically as pristine as Polar, it is just magic in how it drives, so I'm not screwing with it much.
And just because...
Throwing up a picture from last weekends four day mountain rally. Brought the 720S, not a Turbo, and it was awesome! One of the very few cars I enjoy driving as much as a well sorted, properly dialed 996 Turbo.
I was driving in 110 deg heat at 10 mph and noticed the temp climbing a little above normal. i checked and my right fan was dead. In the last week i replace the right fan and booth front axels. about a year ago i had notice one outer CV boot had a slight crack. When i pulled them out all 4 were cracked and spewing grease. So I feel good that it is in better shape bur it is one of those projects where the car doesn't drive any better afterwards, so kind of disappointing. At least i am not carrying around the bucket full of grasshoppers that were stuffed into the front of my car. i drove through a grass hopper plague near Beal AFB couple of weeks ago. Enough of them that the road turned red and got slippery.
I am in need of a slave cylinder accumulator. Is there a worry of these going bad sitting on the shelf or is their failure mode only from line pressure?

When its above 90 degrees here, I notice that my car runs a bit hotter than normal..the gauge goes slightly above halfway if I have the AC on and im in traffic, sometimes without it. Once I get going it will drop. I needto do some datalogging but im guessing this is normal? Both of my fans work so I could potentially have air in the coolant system?
Have you had your font facia off and inspected the radiators and condensers? Mine were seriously full of stuff, like a 5 gal bucket filled almost half way. This is the second time i have cleaned it out.

Yes, its all clean. I removed a ton of debris too.
