It does sound great, but the turbo leaving it for dead coming out of corner is sure fun!

Indeed; I take it you're enjoying New Turbo quite a bit...?

I am!

I still swap off quite frequently, keeps them all fresh. The paint on the new one is in really nice condition, really no gravel rash. So it probably won't be seeing much action on nicer days this winter.

That's awesome; I have to repaint the front cover of the 991 for that very reason - holding on until spring as it will be driven over the winter.

Mind sharing what products you use and methods? I never knew to put that much "stuff" on and how long to leave it on. Also how often to do it.

Bought a guards diff to complete my rwd conversion.

Those sports seats are so uncomfortable. Porsche made the back portion of the seat too narrow. I can't sit in between the bolsters, I end up sitting on them if that makes any sense.

I'm not fat either, just muscular

are the sport seats lighter since no power motors?

I have used almost two bottles of Autoglym leather conditioner so far; I will let that absorb, then I will use the Leatherique as the final coat and wipe off the excess.

They were pretty thirsty; when I had a look at them this morning they were just about completely dry.

There is a power recliner thing, so they are the exact same as my current seats, but the leather is in excellent shape and does not have embedded doggu marks on them.

I really wanted to fit my Sparco's in there, but there was no way on earth they were going in.

My other option was to spend way more and have a set of Recaro's fitted, so this was a happy compromise.

I wonder what the evaporation rate is for that product?
