Porsche 718 Spyder

[Woodcutter]

What a machine. Huge congrats, I bet there were a few sleepless nights over that decision.

Hopefully see it in the metal soon.

Very much so Graeme!!! Serious amount of head scratching and soul searching! In the end, felt I had done everything I fancied in it… and finally came to terms that I don’t really fancy keeping something ‘forever’

Defo…. See ya up the coast sometime

Love it, health to enjoy!!

Thanks Keith, you helped nudge me on my first Porsche journey….. some 5 years ago now

They get under your skin…. As you know!

Was in New Orleans for work last week…. Back Friday so the inevitable jet lag kicked in…

I made the most of it yesterday morning.. gave up trying to get back to sleep… so was on the road shortly after 0630… magic time to be on the roads!! Didn’t have to pass a car for an hour…. Bliss.

Was back home by 9am with 110 miles of lovely costal driving… top down with temps starting at 1degree, and got to about 6 degrees at the end.

Then took my daughters out when they got up… to end the day with 190 miles…. Total 740 miles now so nearly ran in

 

[gixermark]

1100 miles in now…. And a pipe was inevitable really

There are tons of options for spyder/GT4 platform and I have listened to a load of YouTube’s and read streams of forum opinions…

In the end I decided a titanium unsilenced JCR seemed to give the pitch I was after. 9M in UK actually do a cost effective OPF delete (needs a remap) but I didn’t want to remap and have warranty problems… and generally OPCs are fine with just a backbox…..

Can’t upload video here… but it has absolutely exceeded expectations…. Feels and sounds like a different car… and it was bloody good std!

Jonny (JCR) does a few different tip options - I went for the titanium megaphone tips

Absolutely love it.

We need to get a blast out arranged so I can hear this! Bet it sounds incredible!

 

[PaulYDP]

Can confirm it sounds mega!! It already had a really nice note but different gravy now!

 

[coffeekid]

Sounds absolutely awesome Mark. Very tempted to do the same myself now
