what is an 'early' 3.4 996?

[miles2018]

Thanks for all the technical arguments on tyre size choice; but I'm more concerned with aesthetics

Looks ok to me

295 rear and 235 front?

[Fast Bug]

100% correct

I'm on my own here, going back to 205 front and 255 rear.

Which reminds me - if anyone wants a set of Carrera five spokes with PS4's on, in Polar Silver, give me a shout:

No you're not. I've had mine on for months. The skinny fronts make the steering so delicate and light. I've now got 2 sets of these wheels now. Trying to decide if i need to get a set redone now in a lairy colour.

I have a set of those 17s in my shed too, will be getting 205 and 255s when my 18s wear out (on which I run 265 rears).

Lucky you had a passenger ready to snap that for you.

This may be of help determining which IMS bearing your car has

Can you change the speed at which the spoiler deploys?

Never go out for breakfast alone!

Not as far as I'm aware, although you can manually raise it. There's a switch in the drivers footwell

Oddly enough I realised just now when I stopped that it was still up. Must’ve raised it with my foot.

I find it pretty annoying as you have to hold it down. Its not an on and off thing. Makes no sense.

I only manually raise mine when I wash the car

Any thoughts on this Guards Red 996?

Looks nice enough but as per 95% of the adverts out there, precious little useful information. Spec is less than half of the story - service history, previous work carried out etc etc?

[ferrisbueller]

It's been on the thread at least once before.

Went through all the posts back to October and couldn’t find it.

Will ask about history.

After a couple of bad years with cars I may just go the cant be bothered route and get a 987.2!
