Cheers. They've already taking a fair hammering in the last 12k by the owner from new.

Don't think so. There are a few chips on there, mostly faint until v close up. It's only done 12k so shouldn't be needing the bumper doing just yet. It'll end up been done eventually no doubt and then I'll PPF. Don't think it's been driven particularly hard judging by the rev range report. Nothing in 1 or 2. Loving it.

Anyone had any issues with noise limits on track? Donington have 98dba limit and i am thinking of doing an evening session next month just to see how the car feels compared to the GT4's i was out in yesterday.

So today a grumpy pensioner who was angry that I was parked up taking a phone call with my engine running told me “Your car is utterly vulgar and so are you” ...


Best compliment on Viper green so far biggrin

Anyone worked out how to change the lights for euro driving? I know I should read the manual but advice appreciated.

Always make me laugh that by the time you and thought and typed this you could have looked it up?
This might help?
The ignition has to be on .Switch on the PCM and press the Car button. Press the option tab at the top then choose Set Car>Vehicle Function>Exterior Lights and you will see the options there.

Guys, My wife took the GTS to have new tyres put on last Friday, when i got home and put the car in the garage it kept coming up with "update tyre settings". Which it wouldn't update, in the end i changed it to 18" wheels and then back to 20" wheels and it then said learning.

I haven't driven it but read it will learn new pressures when driving. Is this the case?

Yep, I always do that reset when I've checked my pressures. It only takes a few hundred yards to learn, so I do a loop around the estate where I live smile

Just needed to replace my rears, fronts sill have 5mm. I had a spare set of Pzero's in the garage so have put them on for now, Then next year I'll replace all 4 for PS4S or Cup2.

Ummm, I'm in the same boat with my 981 Cayman GTS

P Zero N0 all round. Rears are at 2.5mm and fronts at least 5mm.

I did not enjoy the P Zeros during the winter months but during two big Euro trips in May and July they were fine.

The Pirelli UK factory is 10 mins away from me so their Performance Centre is dead convenient.

I have a Porsche Warranty until Apr 2020 so will be sticking with N rated tyres. I still can't work out if the N rated PS4S are suitable for the 981 or just the 718?

Two new rear P Zeros (with the PCGB discount) is the easiest option? Not the popular vote I guess though...

PS4Ss are not rated for the 981, only Goodyear Eagle F1s or Pirelli P-Zero N0s or N1s. See the PDF file here:

https://www.porsche.com/uk/accessoriesandservice/p...

Might be worth checking with an OPC or the Porsche warranty people in case the document is out of date and PS4Ss are actually approved.
