Google PADM fault before you go any further. The mounts fail. And often.

Oh OK so could be better left alone then.

Any mods/upgrades to recommend?

rear seat delete
pepita seat inserts
ducktail
oem fuch wheels
carplay
991GT3 inside door handles
992 PDK knob comversion

And that would be a knob conversion

Why delete the rears on a Carrera? Ruin the resale value and spend money doing it. Even more if you remove the belts and blank off etc.

Did a quick search, but can’t be certain….

Is that compatible with a 981 Cayman PDK?

Should be if it fits a 991.1?

Looks very nice!

Under car neons are making a comeback, although i think its LED now

I would enjoy it as porsche built it for a while first before deciding you can improve it. They’re very good from the factory, and trying to make a base car as good as, say a GT3 is a bit pointless (just buy a GT3, it will be cheaper in the long run)

I think this is only compatible with 991.2 and 718 (982) models; on these cars the down-shift (-) is forwards and up-shift (+) is backwards, as per the 992.

On 991.1 and 981 models, the down-shift (-) is 'wrong'/backwards and up-shift is forwards.

Rear seat delete? The mind boggles!

What is better than taking children for icecream in a 911.

Shared a pit box on a track day with h a 992 GT3RS and dude commented on how rear child seat on a track day was the coolest he’d ever seen.

Absolutely my plan! Will keep it standard for the time being, only thing I will consider doing after christmas is upgrading to the sports steering wheel
