Re: Has there been a MarcW sighting? - 5 days ago
I don’t know. I wouldn’t want to do that. I’ll always try to have a Pcar in my garage. The Mini does nothing for me, well, except for this one.by CarreraLicious - Main Forum

Re: Get Your ICE Boxster Before They Go All Electric in 2025; While 911 to Remain Gas Powered - 4 weeks ago
Glad they’re at least gonna continue making the 911 with gas powered engines. Hope they still offer them in manual too. I’m ok with going electric but only as a commuter car. For a weekend fun car, it’s gotta be an ICE with three pedals for me.by CarreraLicious - Main Forum
Re: Then maybe you need to abandon Porsche specs.... - 6 weeks ago
Various threads I’ve read in 997 forums indicate the negative camber on this car causes this inner tread wear on the rears and many get between 12-15k miles out of them. I’m actually ok with that, and I don’t want all seasons on my sports car, but YMMV. I will get it checked out though. 997 tire wear:by CarreraLicious - Main Forum
Re: If you're saying those tires look like that at 15k, they were shot well before. - 6 weeks ago
QuoteJM-Stamford,CT I agree. I suspect that someone wanted an aggressive suspension setup. If you made the rear more neutral, you will probably get better wear. To be clear, 15K is very short in the absence of track or other aggressive abuse. That shouldn’t be the case, as I had the 4 wheel alignment done according to Porsche specs at a Porsche dealer 3 yrs ago. It is not unheard of to gby CarreraLicious - Main Forum
Re: Ordered new tires… - 6 weeks ago
QuoteRev Dennis I had a similar conversation on another board. On my NSX I only had 4000 miles on the tires, but I checked and here the rears were worn out. Turns out they get a 100 foot skid pad result of 1 g by giving the rears a 1 degree inner bias. Check your alignment. That was years ago. I am back in Porsche land now. Thanks, well these rears had about 15K on em till it got to this pointby CarreraLicious - Main Forum
Re: I am glad you checked too... - 6 weeks ago
QuoteJM-Stamford,CT It will be good to keep you around for a while longer. In addition to the new tires,, I might suggest getting the suspension/alignment checked. That is a lot of wear on the extreme inside of the tire. That looks a little unusual. The wear could be made more even. I do wonder if that kind of wear indicates you are not getting the best contact patch for the kind of drivinby CarreraLicious - Main Forum
Ordered new tires… - 6 weeks ago
I drive with other Porsche pals on weekends so much I checked my tires over the weekend right before I went out and saw this! Down to the chords on my inner rears. Scary actually and I’m glad I checked. New tires ordered and I clicked on the banner for Tirerack on this forum so hopefully Pedro’s site gets some sort of credit. Easy to do, as it brings you right to the Tirerack site to order. Dby CarreraLicious - Main Forum

QuoteJMstamford,ct If you are talking about DEALER quotes in the NY Metro, that might be in the range. But for a decent independent, I submit it is high.

Re: At the risk of a flame war..... IMS debate.... - 7 months ago
I wouldn’t update the IMS unless I was in there anyway for a clutch job. As you know, I had my 01 986 for 17 yrs and never changed the IMS. The car went to a friend and now the clutch does need to be replaced (it was on its way out when I sold it to him), and I think he will change the IMS or do a direct oil feed when he changes the clutch out. I just think the cost/benefit is not worth it. Ifby CarreraLicious - Main Forum
