What did you do with your 718 this week?

Thanks for the recommendations again Tim, gives me plenty to read up on.

New member, Just got this months panorama and saw the ad. Got my '22 GT4 in 11/21 just in time to put it up on the lift for the winter. Car is 80/20 track/street. Last yr I added rear TPC toe links, front camber plates, DSC controller (based on past experience), Apex forged wheels (19x9/19x11) which let me go with 265/35 & 305/30 no rubbing, the full AP racing brake setup, RSNV 1pc wing risers, P1 insert w/memory foam and inflatable lumbar for my aging back, the little front window triangle that reduce buffeting & an antigravity lithium battery.

This winter I added a 1/2 cage, 6pt belts an in car intercom so I can coach my guests at my home track and the gizmo that saves all your suspension, exhaust etc setting so they don't default back to off when the car is turned off.

Unheralded change would be going from sports cup 2s to falken rt660. 50% more tread life & much better initial turn in. With all the above understeering non-existent.

I'd like to say I'm done with "improvements" and at my age this is the car I ride off into the sunset but the likelihood of either is slim to none.

Welcome to Carpokes! Glad you found us and joined up!

Wow! Your car sounds close to mine. Schroth 6-pts, Cantrell 1/2 cage (both of which were installed at the dealer before I took delivery when it was new), later the RSNV risers, AP Racing J-Hook rotors and Ferodo DS3.12 pads, Tarett monoball camber plates, Tarett toe-links, DSC, better brake fluid (Motul 660), etc.

I'm in the process of going with the Apex wheel setup identical to yours so good to know that the 265 & 305 tires are not rubbing. I too was considering trying the Falken RT660 tires to see how they perform. (I run both the MPSC2 and occasionally Dunlop Sport Maxx Race 2 tires.) My current alignment setup is a couple of pages back on this thread.

Welcome to Carpokes -- you sound like our kind of guy! What is this gizmo you mention? I would love for my car to remember all the settings like that!

I second Tom’s question re the device that remembers all of your settings. Thanks for joining Carpokes and your detailed and informative post.
Enjoy,
Larry

T-Design products. They have one module that remembers all with steering wheel IOSS+ knob, and 3 different modules for the console switches - for 991, for 981/718, and for 958 Cayenne.

I planned on getting one of these to make it remember the Auto-start-stop button, but figured out how to re-code the car's controller to do that. But these memory modules will remember the state at shut down of more stuff than can easily be coded.

DSC Sport PASM controllers are back in stock, purchased one today. It might arrive Friday.

Last week I purchased a used set of resonated and ceramic coated over axle pipes. They might arrive today.

PCA Schnell Fest today at COTA.

Replaced both cabin filters, the air filter and serpentine belt today as the start of the 4 year service. Tomorrow is spark plugs and brake fluid flush. About 2 ½ hours for the filters and belt.

And only an hour for the plugs...
