Here's my plan to increase capacity. I bought a 4"x 1.7" reusable fuel filter with 5/16" barb adapters and removed the filter and spring. I'm going to install this inline between the AOS and the drain valve which will allow me to accumulate an additional 5 oz of oil below the AOS, so my accumulation capacity is the 1.7 oz of hose length plus the 5 oz from this extra canister for a total of 6.7 oz before it backs up into the AOS housing. It's so easy to drain that I'll just remember to do it every 2,000.or 2,500 miles which will be once between oil changes or every 6-12 months
Gutted this 4" fuel filter to maximize storage capacity. Should be small enough to reside against the side wall but large enough to do something.
Installed 5/16" hose barb ends for compatibility with the size of my AOS drain line
Not sure when I'll get it installed. I'm actually waiting on some custom forged wheels and if they arrive before my next big trip might do all of this (add this to the hose, drain the intercooler, install then new wheels an tires) at the same time while I have it on the lift for access...or may decide to tackle it on the floor in special terrain mode.
Installed the new KRNC Forged wheels on the Misha Widebody Cayenne 957 Turbo S today.
Working with KRNC was awesome, and I'd highly recommend them! Excellent pricing for a forged customizable wheel, lots of finish choices, renderings prior to production, pics and videos throughout the process, tracking info once shipped, and very reasonable delivery time for a custom forged set of wheels.
22x12 et 22 with 335/25 Aturro AZ850 tires again
These are Brushed Light Grey with machined faces. Dark enough background finish to contrast with the machined faces, but not too dark, as I like brighter wheels, and wanted to complement the rest of the silver trim on the car (A, B, & C pillars, windows trim, lower door trim, etc.), and nice concavity in the design with plenty of clearance for the 410mm front PCCB brakes.
(previous 22x12 et50 Varro VD02 wheels will be up for sale soon, as will the 2 pairs of Adaptec Speedware / Motorsport 25mm hub-centric wheel spacers, if anyone is interested in them).
Digital renderings sent prior to payment
Finished wheels pics sent prior to shipping
Here we go. On the lift and up on the bridge jacks
Love how the slightly darker brushed finish contrasts with the machines face. Dark enough to show a difference but not dark.
New wheel on back and old wheel on front for comparison
Old wheel weight 81 lbs with worn 315 tires and the wheels.spacers no longer needed
New wheel weight of 72 lbs with wider 335 tires. Not super light by any means but saved 9 lbs of unsprung weight per corner and they need to have a load rating for the 5,000 lb believe that handles the 650 HP
Beautiful! Are the bumper side body lines just deeper? Why does it appear so pronounced?
I used bumper welting strips / gaskets when installing them like Porsche used on the older 928s and 930 cars. From far away they look like panel gaps, but up close, you can see they're trim strips / separators. I wanted to keep the fiberglass bumpers separated and stabilized from the metal fenders.
Ahh, I see seems like a smart move. Way to commit to your toy! Envious, lol
Thanks. It also makes the bumpers match the door panel seams and hood to bumper seam with the seal in it so all the sections of the car have the same spacing.
