Genuine Ducktail Installed on Porsche 911!

The Ducktail on the Porsche 911 Recently, Porsche unveiled the limited edition 992 model 911, the 911 Sport Classic, which is still fresh in our memories. This Sport Classic is based on the Turbo body and features a ducktail spoiler, paying homage to the 1973 Carrera RS (commonly known as the ’73 Carrera’).

Replacing the Boxster’s Factory Navigation with a Display Audio|DMH-SZ700 Review

Dissatisfaction with the Factory Navigation The Japanese-spec 981 and early 991 models come equipped with a factory Clarion navigation system. Originally, the domestic models come with Porsche’s own navigation system called PCM, similar to the late 991 and 718 models, but for some reason, the Japanese-spec cars have this different setup. This has some surprisingly significant drawbacks. First, the design feels like an aftermarket add-on. More importantly, while the domestic PCM systems output digital audio,...

Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) Is an Absolute Must for Safety

The TPM displays tire pressure in real time while driving and alerts you if the pressure drops beyond a certain point. What’s great about Porsche’s TPM is that it tells you exactly how much air to...
