Nowhere near the monumental news that @kamlung had, (Congrats!)

... but i just LOVE new tires, especially sticky ones!
Purchased from Tire Rack, installed by a local top-notch installer that comes to you. So much better than dealing with a conventional tire shop.

I'm consistently getting 10K out of the fronts and 5K out of the rears with the Azenis RT615K+, mostly fast twisty two-laners and some track days. Very little highway mileage. I really like the tires. I have Pilot Sport 4S on the newer 991 Turbo and while it's hard to compare, different cars, I like these as much or more. Sacrilege I know....

Finished up all my pinning this morning. I am JB welding around the fittings as well to prevent any future seepage and am happy with the coverage this will give me. I have had them welded in the past but went this route for this go around.
all new hoses, orings and such are here so will slowly be putting this back together after some brief cleanings.

Just curious, did you remove all the fittings cleaned and re-glued before pinning?
