Actually driving speeds up the warm up process. Does the car have the sports exhaust? Seems its already got a sports exhaust if it isnt specced. Nothing wrong with driving off straight away. Im suprised no one looked out the window. Someone left some food on my Z when i parked at the station. Maybe I woke them up. Theres more expensive cars than mine. There seems to be a stigma with sports cars. It riles some people up. Ive heard all the clichés. When ppl are in full time employment they dont have time to moan or watch what others are doing tbh. Notice hes not working at the moment so has time on his hands! Idling around the corner is a waste of time. If im already on the move might as well get going. Plus traffic builds up from 6:30 so why hang around. You can idle in traffic lol

Sport and Sport Plus off? German sports cars are harsh for 60 seconds no matter whatlol m3 v8 is like that but it goes nicely quiet after.

Id say drive off straight away but let the rotational mass do the work. The initial ignition is harsh but not as harsh as a v10 or v12 so yeah. Its funny that a pilot on 70-140,000 per year is concerned about bounty bar kids car. The plane he flew was louder and ruins lives in Hounslow Tell him its factory oem and you can't sell as youll lose money, you cant park on the street. That you wont hang around is the best you can do. Even if you were working from home and only went out once or twice he would still complain.

Lol....hes mad you moved up in the world. He was happy when you drove a Peugeot and Qashqai....you were relatable in your expected lane or station. Sad....wait till your dad turns up and you get in the drivers seat. Holy moly! Sad sad sad

Wrong move.....youre giving people a chance to dictate your life. Im not gona lie its loud enough to reach the houses across and vibration is the annoying part. If hes going to be working nights hes not going to be sleeping at 7:30 but about to start sleeping. Starting and driving off is what i did with the shorttails. its sluggish but 99% of people put up with it as the vibration is more irritating than the noise for neighbours. In my area we are dealing with 5 months of renovations. So i dont want to hear anything in future. Hes a hater. Let him move

Thats why certain enthusiasts are sticking with NA until we have to go electric or alcohol... I went in a £100,000 911 base Carrera. Lots of swooshing, soft induction sucking and hissing going on. 400+ hp. Looks the business, goes well. The you got older GTS NA and other naturally aspirated cars that arent as quick but make a great sound at mid range to top end I guess have to make a choice of power vs near full package when spending average money. All things considered at some point could get it all depending on what you like

Theres a few on Ebay from UK

Electronic adaptive dampers sound like trouble if they fail

Wear and tear no ones covering. There are some warranties especially from the dealer that will cover failures all in the fine print. These are not covered which is understandable. Wiper blades Tyres Brake pads and brake discs Shock absorber Clutch disc and clutch pressure plate Drive belt including tensioning guide rails and roller Spark plugs Batteries PDCC reservoir Coolant All light bulbs (excluding Xenon and LED-lamps) All filters, fluids, oils and greases £3200 for 4 shock absorbers? Must be NASA grade tech 😂

Pay to enter the club, pay to get a drink, pay again to buy a drink for the suitor. Pay to take them somewhere else. Thats Porsche. Then Nissan you find out its the same sh7t. Basically theyve seen what others pay and youll pay that too. With Nissan theres aftermarket options....which are becoming more expensive anyway

But you need a 67 onwards. Around £27000+. I opted originally for a 17 which was £590 mine now is £630.....Not exactly worth it for a car thats essentially 09 with minimal changes. If i was going for nismo again would be mk2 any year. Road tax wouldn't matter

maybe the time has come lol

When the time comes (still early days) id be looking at a similar Cayman S or Boxster S to yours minus a few options. I couldn't afford a GTS realistically. Although the options in them are near complete. Maybe when im running the show at work 😂. Id be happy with a PSE, Sport Plus and Sports steering wheel etc. Not fussed about Suspension modes. Whats the advantage of PASM? Sport Chrono I prefer to press buttons in the center console. Makes passengers think this guy means business 😂. Ill have a look at your thread again!

Hes only gone and factored in his finance. Also 1300 pound warranty vs £10k PDK is worth it in my opinion. Its still a mechanical thing that could go bang. My history of Germans tells me its silly to buy out of warranty. Running costs seem similar all things considered bar a few items that could sting out of warranty.

So you bought the GT exhaust on Ebay. Will you sell the Invidia?

It is an OEM plus type exhaust. Can probably get longer custom tips to make up the distance. As they say in London. "You guys are moving mad".

Tbh thats the going rate from a specialist not random steve from East is West scrapyard. Could also consider VR30DETT but youll spend more on extras at least it will be an interesting project. 😉

VW aka Porsche AG now have a partnership with Rimac with Rimac having 55% plus controlling stake. To develop the next Bugatti which will probably be hybrid or electric (Bugatti Rimac project). Theres a video of a former formula 1 driver driving the Rimac. Crazy power. No soul though Crazy cars missed a trick by not becoming a motoring journalist. I have to admit Chiron does look good. Id still take the Chiron all day everyday. W16 deep rumble than the clattering and lack of sound...Rimac is for once in the summer on a proving grounds with a winding track in the middle.

Welcome.....Any Pictures?!

Been looking at these lately. Whilst at uni the Cayman 987 was very popular back in 2010/2011. Somewhat common in my area. 10 years later the 981 seems to have been steady above 30k. Boxster being slightly different in prices. These are 12 to 16 plates.. Im hearing the 718 isnt quite the same but more refined and modern. I have a feeling the 981 will become more valuable than the 718. Cayman 981 kept steady pricing for the last few years Also on enquiring about warranty from Nissan on the Nismo they wanted a cool 700 plus pounds for 12 months warranty while porsche charge around 1300 pounds for 24 months. In terms of running costs are both cars similar? As Servicing Nissan costs around £400 to £500 per annum. Depending on what needs doing more reasonable service costs can be found at Porsche or at Indies. Wheels are 19s and 20s mainly. Driving dynamics they say Porsche is superior. The steering rack is hydraulic on the Nissan but balance is probably better on Cayman with Boxster being heavier due to the roof?! Also adaptive suspension doesnt bother me but most come with it.

Any updates on this?

LoFi? Silvia hint look closely

It depends some places are charging up to £300 per panel and other places £100 for spraying....on cars where colour match is a problem yes. Otherwise its cheaper to respray and not tailgate lol Nowadays its cheaper depending where you go. Its usually all cut up on a software.
