Huracan performante

Thanks again.

I didn't get what I wanted on the 488 as over the past month prices seem to have moved further down again. I bought for £156k from JZM in October time and I've realised £136k now. The 488 is a fantastic car but I think there is a reluctance with some to like the turbo aspect of the car. Driving wise I'm a sucker for the noise of the car, it sounds like an FI car in corsa and the pops from the exhaust I love. I was a bit shocked by the very small front boot, much smaller than the 488, although there is a bit of space behind the seats. Mine has race seats which makes getting in and out a bit of a struggle and on my long drive home from the Cotswolds a bit painful on my back. However on the twisty roads they were fantastic. I have ordered some seat padding from demon tweeks. The nose lift is essential for me on the roads immediately near my home. It does feel a bit quicker and more responsive versus the 488 but its early days really. The ride is definitely harder even on strada.

Thanks for the comments .. I think I have enough to keep me occupied at the moment but a Diablo SV or Lancia delta integrale evo 2 would be very nice distractions! P.S. did you write an article for supercar driver magazine recently?

I have the same and some nice white leather gloves! Would one of these wrenches work .. I believe it needs to be 600nm or is someone getting confused with the torque from the engine! https://www.cromwell.co.uk/shop/hand-tools/torque-...[url]|https://thumbsnap.com/eU845DGV[/url][url]|https://thumbsnap.com/qRfKrybh[/url]Edited by Skittles001 on Monday 19th April 11:07
I think I can live without taking them off myself but what happens if you get a puncture at home or abroad. My nearest dealer is 70 miles away
I wonder if a friendly local porsche dealer/ indie would assist as they have similar.
Also there is some kind of pin you put in I've been told .. I don't think its straightforward.

Thanks for the message skittles and yes its the Philip Ireland one.
1. Carplay. Not sure I found the right one on amazon. Is it this?
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Carlinkit-Wireless-Conver...
I have a samsung
2.1/2" of Durafoam under the centre section of the seat cushion .... sounds great if you lasted 6 hours! if you wouldnt mind posting pics that would be great and I will do the same. The Hubbard set up looks very good. How much are they?
3. Got the number plates and they do look epic.
I intend on driving to the factory in September to get the service done which I'm really looking forward to. I have a hill climb booked at Shelsley Walsh as well. It would be good to get a trackday booked at goodwood too. We should have a performante meet!

Awesome looking car, congratulations.
Regarding your wheel socket - hard to tell but would a 3/4 or 1 inch torque wrench not fit in the back, or is it something more special?
Its the amount of torque needed I think thats the issue. I think I read somewhere that it needed to be rated to 600nm which is a lot!Regarding your wheel socket - hard to tell but would a 3/4 or 1 inch torque wrench not fit in the back, or is it something more special?

Here you go. Worth getting in quick as he has quite a backlog. Phone is the best way. He does some incredible stuff with re trimming car interiors and is quite passionate about it so is happy to share pictures of his projects. Lovely chap.
Thanks Skittles .. one more thing do the cushions add much to your height in the car as my eye level is already not that much lower than the screen. Here you go.

OK just read the posts below on wheel removal with the centre lock. It seems that it can be done easily at home .. who wants to give it a go first?!

Thanks Daman C,
I didn't realise the centre wheel nut was a rare option. Like you I think it suits the car particularly when you have the race seats. Does anyone know what the total production numbers are of the Perf? by year, by country, by colour etc? would be interesting to know.
You would have thought someone would have posted a video on changing the perf centre lock.
It was the car for sale from PI. I don't have lambo assist with mine. I wonder what RAC breakdown would do with it if it got a puncture.
