Nice. Congrats!

I bought a used set of lobsters to put winters on for all year enjoyment.

 

Drove it to the range.

 

I'm visiting its birthplace. I'm in Stuttgart, and my factory tour starts in 2 hours.

 

Got new MPSS and alignment few days ago.

First set of new tires. Can it really feel like the car is faster? Couple hundred kms on them, much less noise, smoother ride than my Pirellis. Can't speak to traction as I haven't pushed it yet.

 

Best tires I've owned. Got new ones installed at the beginning of the season. 3000+km later and still gripy and quiet.

 

Nice! I want to play around with tire pressure, it seemed a little floaty on an on ramp I like to take faster than normal, didn't feel that way on my Pirellis.

Keeping your car?

 

I just put MPSS on mine 3-4 weeks ago and have the same feeling hitting the on ramp hard.. Haven't had a chance to experiment much but can say it didn't feel as solid as my last set (PS2).. time will tell.

 

hmmm...doesn't sound good. Though many run these with rave reviews and on track, so wondering if tire pressure might make the difference or more break-in. Otherwise that be $1300 disappointing dollars.

 

I think it needs more break in time. I had PS2, and I just recently changed to Ventus 12. It definitely feels more floaty when I take a curve at higher speeds. I think it will get firmer once the tire wears out and harden a little.

 

my car has been sitting in the garage for a few days cause it's been too hot the last few days but I got new coaters for my home office =) They are really nice and super glossy. The grain is from the crappy iphone

 

installed new rear end!

 

Installed new tires; Hankook Ventus Rs3's, alignment and brake fluid flush...

 

Brought her home from the dealer. That's what happens when I get bored...

 

Tried to get more familiar with option functions involving Nav, luggage compartment cooling, and the tip S lever illumination in center console.

 

installed 7mm/12mm spacers.....happy with the results.....can't see how wider ones would look good....997.1 CS (oem Carrera S wheels).
