OK that's a goofy mod I could actually get on board with, IMO Porsche should have shipped the cars with vinyl badging.

During the past week:
- hand washed and waxed
- driven the next day when temps hit mid 60s.
- car wash afternoon I drove it as the roads were wet and new salted (winter mix this weekend) that morning with that spray on stuff. Dry in afternoon.
- removed my VA state sticker from windshield. What a PITA, had to breakout the goo be gone stuff.
- returned my VA plates to DMV after installing my new FL plate. Few months ago I got a ticket in VA for no front plate. Was pulled over specifically for that. Annoying and complete waste of time. I reg'd my car in FL so I can give VA the big middle finger on that stupid a$$ law. Bonus: no emissions requirements.

You have enough garage space? Must own avatar repair or construction business.

My garage is 1/4 the size of my house, which means by that ratio, you have a 20,000 sq ft home. Good on you! Nice cars, nice home...well done.

Another one loaded up for a weekend at the track (Roebling Road). Turned out to be a great weekend with fantastic weather (except for a foggy morning) and lots of track time. Unfortunately the under-steer is really starting to bother me now,time to do something about it...

it will ALWAYS understeer with oem wheel width. you need 9".
265/295 tires
-3F camber
full stiff rear bar
car drives totally different.

Thanks for the advice, I'll look into that. Are you able to get that camber with shims only? Looks like I'll start running out of threads at around 2.5.

And 2.5° is good, I was able to achieve 2.4°, thereafter the threads were running out.

My friend has just poured the slab on his new car garage. 5300 sq ft for his 24 Porsches. Includes Carrera GT, one of every generation, and multiple RSs. Even has a Cup car that competed in the Daytona 24. I think he has a house adjacent, but I haven't seen it yet. LOL. All I care about is the car garage...! Got to get your priorities right, I agree. I would live in your "small room attached" if I could fill that six-car garage.
