Sweet trailer Bill! Enclosed to boot!WillyDaP wrote: Sun Feb 04, 2024 6:10 pm I realized with all the parts I was buying ( tires, wheels, camber plates, rear toe control arms, racing pads, etc. ) I needed a new home for my Chalk Croc to rock around the clock, er, track. So I bought a little traveling home from a friend so she can go play with friends or embarrass others in BMWs and Vettes!
What did you do with your 718 this week?

Thanks! About that dummy key it is one of the eBay ones, sub $20. You get what you pay for as it is a different red than the guards or carmine. Still .. I really disliked the plastic “brushed aluminum “ piece that came from the factory.71eh wrote: Sun Feb 04, 2024 8:26 am
Looks awesome! Seems like you will be able to heal n' toe way easier with those.
Side note: Love the Red dummy key and red gauge. I have the same (well, when the car gets here ha).
On a low priority for me is to get a real Porsche key fob in the matching carmine red.

Got tired of waiting for TPC to release there “GT Spring kit” and bought a used set of H&R height adjustable sport springs. This solution was not at the top of my list for various reasons but does likely address all my needs. Lower the car a bit, height adjustable in the front, can keep my current camber plates, no risk of harsh ride etc.

I hear you. I also got one of the Red Ebay ones - I looked at getting one wrapped in leather by Exclusive option, but the price damn near blew me off my chair lol. I am happy with the $20 red Ebay one... for nowJ-Dub wrote: Sun Feb 04, 2024 8:41 pmThanks! About that dummy key it is one of the eBay ones, sub $20.

The ebay $20 Yellow dummy key appears to be a perfect match for the Racing Yellow deviated stitching inside our BGTS. That said, I transferred the $10 ebay Sapphire Blue(ish) key fob parts from our '17 BS to the '22 BGTS fobs as a constant reminder of our BS.
Yes, I really miss the color of our radiant blue BS. So, it's true what they say: "we don't lament the options we choose, only those we didn't select." PTS Sapphire Blue with respect to our BGTS....oh the humanity.

Ha! Your quote is spot on... I swear, sometimes the GF catches me starring off in the distance, totally disconnected. I bet she's thinking I am pondering life or something ultra serious... Nope, It's usually along the lines of "....I really should of got the carbon fiber illuminated door sils...."Treemagnet wrote: Mon Feb 05, 2024 7:48 am The ebay $20 Yellow dummy key appears to be a perfect match for the Racing Yellow deviated stitching inside our BGTS.
