Looking at their seller page on eBay, they have no products listed. How do you work with them? Do you message them with what you're after and then they post?

I tried to find them too, without luck. Didn’t try to hard either though.

Yeah, I have 285/35-18 Michelin PS4S on them because it’s the largest PS4S size.

PS4S is so wide 285/35 the 295/35 Conti SportContact 02 is only 1/3 inch wider.

I might try 235/295 for the extra sidewall meat, although the 285/35 is grippy enough.

I’m going to have my CH-R’s powder coated all bright silver so I’ll have to run the 18’s for a week or so… haven’t had them on since I lowered the car…or spacers… should be kinda cool but the tires are like 265’s… lmao

I did my first oil change on mine since purchasing it. East car to change the oil in with no mess. Got to love that cartridge filter. New filter and o-ring, new drain plug crush wash=her, and fresh oil. The Autel made resetting the oil change interval easy.

II dropped it off today at TPWS to have the IMS Solution, clutch, RMS, water pump and 160 degree thermostat done. I just put a new AOS and alternator in a few weeks ago.

Total bill: $4,366.58, a little less than 10 percent of what I paid for the car. Shop said everything that was replaced looked to be in good shape, but ya never know ...

Wow - that's a lot of work for the $$$. It barely covers the cost of the parts! Who do you use?

I'll start a new thread when the car arrives with more pics of both. Looking forward to a lot of autocross in this and a good few track days in addition to being a really enjoyable daily.







Beautiful car with a lot of great options. You may have the C2 version of the Turbo wheels on the back though.

If you're spending anywhere near that amount to buy these parts you're shopping in the wrong place.

Well the LN IMS Solution is $1,900 by itself. The AOS is $288 for the OEM Porsche (and I wouldn't use any other here) at it's cheapest.

list out the parts at your outlet and let’s compare… I bet that 4K is about the going rate at any indy shop

Funny you should ask. The shop called me yesterday to say they forgot to charge me for the clutch kit. So add another $436 to my total. It still wasn’t too bad, all things considered.

The name of the shop is Automobile Associates in Canton, CT, one of two LN IMS bearing authorized installers in my state. Definitely recommended.

That's still a great deal. Will they inspect the flywheel and make sure its good to reuse? There's a special tool they use to test the elastomers that hold the halves together.
