| Friday Scan Day - What have you done lately to enjoy your Porsche even MORE ? Roger987 - 5 years ago |
New wheels? New exterior enhancements? New mechanical performance/handling bits? New interior pieces? Or maybe even new driving shoes?
For my 981S, replaced ughly standard 981 steering wheel with a one-off custom Porsche Sport Design. Perforated and smooth leather, black strip at 12 o'clock, additional padding to increase grip diameter to 4 5/8".
"A mile of runway gets you to the end of a runway. A mile of twisty backroad in your Porsche takes you to heaven."

I like the look - much better than the stock 981 wheel. And it looks like it should be a improvement of the interface feel between the driver and the car.
Looking forward to see a picture of it installed in your car.
So you've got the hands covered.
I went for the feet.

Dancin' shoes for the THREE pedals.
Ask and ye shall receive:
Oh - that rod capped by a round ball thingy emerging from the leather boot - that's the increasing rare (now endangered) species known as the 'manual shift lever'.
You'll spot an extra red bit in the photo below, Gman.

The good Doctor would be most pleased. All the communication devices are there. Being at one with the machine, ready to dance through the twisties.
The wheel looks great Roger. And I bet it feels good, as one of the main interfaces between driver and machine. Add a twisty road. Enjoy to the sound of the Symphony in Flat Six. Driving Nirvana.
Yes. I also noticed that your parking brake was on.
Nice key fob too.

"All the communication devices are there."
Yup, they are - THREE pedals, MANual shifter, 3.4 litres of mid-engined, naturally aspirated, flat-6 splendor, PSE, PASM, Porsche Torque Vectoring and, at long last, a proper steering wheel. Yesiree, we're communicating.
"Nice key fob too."
Thank you. As it happens, a good friend (one of the early 981S adopters) from Ontario gave it to me, to celebrate the purchase of my 981S. I'm glad he did; I'm far too thrifty to buy one myself.

i'm not certain if it's a factory part. very hard to find. got it through suncoast (9X6BKN. it's slightly different from the factory part that I got from CFG many moons ago, but close enough. the painted section is now clear coated. the leather is a different texture and add stitching. otherwise, it's an exact replacement for my worn and torn part.
