Rob,
Just get yourself a breaker bar and 800 ft/lb torque wrench and deal with the wheels yourself. I use a local specialist tyre fitter in Central Scotland as he is excellent at looking after your rims etc. He does not have the correct tooling for the job so I just do it myself. That way I know they are correctly re-installed with the locks correctly in position.
BTW my superglue repair got me all the way home from the north of Scotland and for a further 3 days till my new tyre was installed.
Was nice you meet both you and Molly on the run.

Thank you sir, as does yours!
Going to take mine out for a blast in the morning I think!
Just got back after a great run today - I love my car , I have an RS on the way and I'm obviously really excited about that but in a funny way, part of me prefers the GT3 - it looks better IMHO , it's super usable - as easy as any 911 I've ever had and at a flick of the wrist and a press of the foot it becomes the most mental machine I've ever driven - they are a piece of engineering genius !! ( Honestly all this talk about values is just so dull - lets get back to talking about the cars - please !!!) I can drive it to work and just about "get away with it" in terms of it not sticking out too much - the RS on the other hand will be a weekend treat as I just can't turn up to work in it - especially as I'm going Lava Orange ! When I sell the GT3 I want it to go to a good home - someone to take care of it as its a very special thing - it would also be great if someone manages to buy well by cutting out the dealer margin Going to take mine out for a blast in the morning I think!

I get what you mean about the RS. Mine will be paint to sample. But it will have to be a very special car indeed!
Are you sure PTS is available - seems to be a lot of debate about it ? My OPC says probably - most people are saying not ? Do you have a build date - I'm Nov , cheers R if PTS is available I think I might go Racing Yellow with black wheels .Edited by RSVP911 on Saturday 16th May 20:28

Just cleaned mine again; whilst doing so tried Citrus bicycle cleaner on the wheels. It is really good. Now have 4,500 miles onboard it is simply the best car I have ever driven. Plus how people can say that it is too compromised to be a DD baffles me. We did over 2000 miles on our Scotland trip in superb comfort. Amanda would say some took place in abject fear though the car is so unbelievably capable I just find those to be giggle moments. Thanks once again Shocks for a cracking trip.
How are people doing on tyre wear I am now on 3mm on the front and 4mm on the back? Just started to notice a very slight tram line effect creeping in . My local tyre supplier is not to keen on coping with the centre locks.
Most welcome Rob ! Hope you and Amanda are well ! Take of The Clarkson How are people doing on tyre wear I am now on 3mm on the front and 4mm on the back? Just started to notice a very slight tram line effect creeping in . My local tyre supplier is not to keen on coping with the centre locks.
Tyres I need to check soon hoon + track is certainly eating them up - going to stick with Dunlops - really awesome tyres

Nice work guys, I hope to be joining the 991 GT3 owners club soon....
Congratulations! What's the spec?!terryb said:
It's not confirmed as yet, but after a whole load of soul searching, I actually changed my initial desire for clubsport/ trackday spec and went for comfort spec in white. Given the market I looked at quite a few, particularly to see different colours. However I also spoke to RSVP911 on here and discussed his car as he has an RS coming - his is a fantastic spec (buckets and PCCB) and actually very well priced, so it was a hard choice not to go for his - drop me a PM if anyone wants to know more about that one. I'll lay the blame with my wife though...
If it's not too late, go for the buckets and PCCB!

He's very proud of his Clarkson - it has pride of place here! Still not 100% sure what he got it for but I think we can guess (the word 'inappropriate' comes to mind?)
The Clarkson Award Category : "...for moments of high drama, choice language and all round entertainment factor..." - I think it was clearly the confessions involving certain moving discussions regarding the appropriate ways to make swift progress ;-)Hi chaps took delivery of my 991 GT3 PCCB AND CLUBSPORT on 25th of April so far 800 miles of sheer joy Silverstone done and Anglesey booked next woop woop - best car ever - looked at quite a few before settling for this one - and was not disappointed one tiny bit -

Guess what - Sharkwerks are looking into developing a bypass pipe for the RS so watch this space!
I hope you are well and i'm quite sure you will have no problem at all in finding a new home for your stunning top-spec GT3.

Anybody with any good plan for the bank holidays? Left it last minute and am not sure I will end up doing anything exciting. The better half vetoed a long weekend up in the highlands.. I had even found a transport to take her up..
Other possibility would be Wales but could get a bit busy? Although I think I saw an anglesea track day with pcgb scheduled for the Saturday.. Combine the 2 ?
Am suffering from withdrawal from lack of good driving roads.. It's painful.

, the all more tarmac for me.
BTW the tightening of the from lift system pipe work is a "update" which all 991 GT3s will get when in for a service etc. I just had my oil changed at 1200 miles last week and OPC did mine.
