These are the spec 2 hybrids. They took right at 10 weeks from the time he shipped them out to the time he received them back.

Dingos stupid question of the day! I think it’s been a few months so far waiting on my new radiators.. is there any issue with the car sitting and not being started even if they take another few months to arrive?

Cheers mate! I think I’ll just pull the c4 fuse before I fire it back up then. I have it on the trickle charger all the time also.

It's only a lowly 996, and AWD to boot! Throw some studs on her and enjoy year round!

As tempting as that may be, I opted to put the snowies on the 991... So that will carry me through. Hopefully.

I am also going through the great turbo upgrade, and have spent wayyyyyyyyyy more on it than I was planning over the last 14 months, so I am trying to demonstrate a little self control.

Trying is hard.

Sort of…my ignition switch **** the bed this weekend, so I have yet to drive it. New one comes in on Friday, so next weekend I get to see how much better these are vs the k16s. Figured I would not waste time doing the swap.
