This is the TPMS system that we are using on my 3 sets of wheels. It provides very accurate +/- 1 Mbar pressure resolution along with 16 point temp readout along the whole width of the tire. This is a very slick set up which provides safety and a lot of data which aids in suspension set up. The data is sent to the Motec dash where it can be displayed in any form one desires.

Ok, that's even fancier - very cool with the IR.

It is all about what you want to pay. I am sure John's setup is $$$$. It sure is nice, but for the average driver, it is probably overload.

Yes, one must wonder when the price isn't posted...

Never a good sign, when its hard to figure out what something costs, im usually out.

Interesting product tho. Useful in super competative racing.

It actually wasn't too bad when I got it two years ago but has likely gone up since then just like your eggs and milk.

I don't think this is practical as a standalone system as you need some type of display like Aim or Motec to integrate this with. This is really a motorsport grade race/data collection/R&D TPMS system. I've had a couple of friends that suffered tire failures due to overheating one of which was at 160mph at Daytona resulting in multiple spins and a ton of damage to the car. Luckily nobody was hurt in that instance. I'm pretty safety conscious and consider a system like this as cheap insurance which pays for itself many times over if it prevents just a single tire failure at speed.

Now that is cool... I'm sure an order of magnitude more expensive than the first setup mentioned, but very cool.

Agree absolutely; I had a failure a couple of years ago coming down hwy 3 into Hope at about 85mph - it sure woke me up and I was damn lucky, don't even want to think about a tyre coming apart at 160mph.

I was impressed at the 3sec delta between old and new. It's not surprising, I guess, given the PDK and probable flatter torque curve in the C2. I've only driven a 992 GT3 (awesome, BTW), not a base Carrera, but I assume it's good too.

The PDK is as close to a perfect auto box you can get, on any platform, anywhere.

Refreshed front differential with new carrier bearings, seals, and cover plate o ring.

I had a pretty big leak on the left side. I replaced the seal earlier but it didn’t solve the leak. A deeper dive discovered the left carrier bearing was wobbly.

I purchased a Vevor carrier and pinion removal tool from Amazon for $100 which made the bearing removals a piece of cake.

New to me (August) now showing cab top issues. Won't open or close w/o help. Prior owner replaced one Lift Cylinder in January after leak (they only did one which is odd, and the shop installed a new part instead of rebuild at a cost of $1200, I paid that much for both in my 997). Took car to Hunt Automotive in Fort Myers, seems like a great shop (lots of cool cars stored and serviced at the shop). They were recommended to me by https://cabriolethydraulics.com who rebuild the lifts.

Before taking in I did check for low fluid and leaks but found nothing.

Ran it for half an hour in the shop.

Sparked right up, listened to the exhaust, sad when I shut it down.

Would you share which one you purchased? There seem different versions available.
