My Family's Car Life

Thank you all for reading our blog. This is the eighth installment of a regular series of comments we receive from our readers. I have edited some of the comments to show the context before and after, and excerpted only the necessary parts, and so on.

About Porsche

991.2 GT3

The GT3 can reach about 88 km/h at 6000 rpm in 2nd gear, so it is very difficult to step on it when breaking it in because there are only a limited number of places where you can step on it. I am currently running 1700 km and enjoying the car at 6000 rpm, so I plan to run 9000 rpm at 3000 km. I am planning to go to 9,000 rpm after 3,000 km.A samurai who acquires a good sword cannot resist its magical power and wants to test it out.I'm looking forward to the full throttle acceleration at 9000 rpm.(991-2 GT3 MT)

I was in Ashiari, listening to the story about the clear wrapping of the front of the GT3 and the breaking-in process. the GT3 Touring still looks mature and tasteful and, as the old saying goes, it's a real "real" car.in sheep's clothingI felt like I was allowed to see "the
Also, when I saw the PCCB story, I regretted that I should have done it after all.
My GT3 has the standard red calipers, but I am having trouble getting them to work again. I have no complaints about the rest, even the weight of the car feels comfortable and I can't live without it! I'm not going to give it up now!(TONO)

I am a 997 driver, and I remember the day Mina went to Ashiyu because it was the last drive of my 987 Boxster of 11 years. I remember it well, "Oh, GT3TP! Wow, GT2RS is running too! I saw the crayon for the first time and it was so beautiful! The sound was also very powerful!(YM997)

Porsche Manual Cars

Comparing a 911 (991.2) bare Carrera and a 718 Cayman, the clutch on the MT is lighter on the 911.I think. Also, both the 718 Cayman and the 991 (991.2) Carrera areWhen the accelerator pedal is not pressed at all and the clutch is half-clutched, the engine automatically revs up slightly to start the car.I feel as if it is controlled in the same way.
If the control of the GT3 is the same, it may be easier because the 4L NA engine will have more torque at low rpm.(PorscheDreamer)

My first imported car was a BMW, a 318is coupe (E 36) with left-hand drive MT. I was very nervous in the beginning, but I got used to it after a month of driving. After that, I switched to SL55AMG (R230).I still couldn't get over how much fun MT was.Currently a 991 early Carrera 4S left-hand drive MT, and once you get used to the feel of operating a manual transmission in a BMW, I think you'll be fine with a Porsche MT too!(Ao)

I came across Porsche last year and bought a base grade Cayman. This year I switched to a Cayman GTS. Since I bought my Porsche last year, I have not tried to drive it much because of the inevitable "let's not increase the distance" part, but recently I saw your husband's comments on this blog and thought, "To be able to drive a Porsche, you have to drive it.I was made aware of this fact.
That's one way to love a car.
It has been a long time since I drove a manual transmission, and even though it was difficult at first, the more I drove, the more I remembered what it felt like, and the more new discoveries I made every time I drove, the more I was able to appreciate the beauty of Porsche.(Mr. K)

718 Spyder

I applied for the 718 Spyder myself. I guess the slots won't be turned around though. According to my local dealer, the last time I was in Voxpa and GT4, there were 6 people waiting for both.Six GT4s came in, but only one voxpa.He said.(Sakon)

718 Spyder config, I did it! I'm having a hard time deciding on the exterior color... I'm thinking of other colors since it's white now - but I'm still going to have to pick the Spyder Classic Interior Package. I guess I'll have to struggle with the config for a while.(TOP GEAR)

At long last, at long last, the 718 Spyder has been unveiled! So cool! It's just so cool! And I want one (lol) I was fantasizing about a crayon with a red top, but I'm not sure if I want a GT silver with a red top. I can't get rid of the solid black with the red top either.
As for the most important production quota.Apparently the PC in the Mingtown region is a complete lottery.It is a special model. If we were to compare Voxpa to a mobile suit, it would be the Gelgoog, a stylish, high-performance, special model dedicated to Char (first model only).(Rumba Rumba)

Here we are at last, cylinder cutting.It is amazing that they alternate one bank at a time at low rpm while driving.It seems that there are many more technologies (environmentally friendly) for extending the life of NAs. I hope they will be deployed in various models.
Also, it seems that an on/off switch for AUTO BLIP has finally been added. I think this could be incorporated in older models, but I'm not sure.(PorscheDreamer)

Panamera touch screen operation

The Panamera 4S arrived at our house at the end of May. However.Aside from driving, other operations are difficult.I mean, there are many things I don't understand.
For example, I'm listening to music on an SD card and want to switch to a radio broadcast. In such a case, you have to redo it many times before you can finally listen to it.
It is even dangerous while driving.
It is also difficult to close the sunshades in the rear. I want to erase the destination in the navigation system but can't. I'm sure there are many more. If it is possible, I would appreciate it if the owner of this blog could post the controls that he/she has experienced.(KAO)

For the control system, we recommend (1) arranging the layout of the home screen (2) widget screen, minimizing input to the commands you frequently use, and (3) using voice control to supplement the commands as necessary. In addition, it would be even more convenient if you can use the commands on the ◇ button, although the options are limited.
I have made it similar to the "Layout 1/5" in Mina's blog text, and the widget is set to be air conditioner related when opened. And I have assigned skip to the ◇ button. I hope this will be helpful.(Mr. Manma)

air-cooled Porsche

Summer sleep...I wish I could, too, but I only own one car, so even in summer I am 964-only. 964, while it has good visibility from inside the car, also has strong sunlight into the car, and it is not the most efficient cooling system because it is air-cooled and has long air conditioning piping.
I have an insulated summer solution.Transparent film was applied to all glass surfaces, air conditioning gas was fully filled the other day, and the flap motor was replaced.I did.
However, I am somewhat concerned that this will not be enough to survive the first extreme heat wave.
I see you can fit a stock kill switch for a 964 RS! I would love to copy that when the time comes to ride less.(Tetsu-san)

Air cooling is summer sleep. When the humidity is high from the rainy season, the blow up drops off distinctly around the 930 Jetro. And when full-blown summer comes, it is no more. I owned a 930 that was inspected in August and had new oil, but on the way home in traffic, the oil temperature went up, and it was already screaming.Once the oil temperature is raised to over 160 degrees Celsius, the oil deteriorates quickly because it is mineral oil.Coming. Summer is for summer sleep.(moldau930)
