More pork for the drive way
Discussion
Picked this up on Wednesday and absolutely loving it! I missed my Boxster since getting rid last year even though I have the turbo I missed the useable power and handling of the baby porsches.
I also don't feel that my licence is as under threat with this LOL
If it wasn't for the outright power of the turbo I reckon this is a better drive. Less is more as they say

You have realised something very significant. A million BHP is exciting when you can use it, but its frustrating in equal measure.I also don't feel that my licence is as under threat with this LOL

There is a sweet spot between power, grip and your available roads.

I concur; on the right roads my GT3 is the best thing ever. Unfortunately, more often it's a massive frustration in London. Sounds good though There is a sweet spot between power, grip and your available roads.

Are the grilles easy to remove?

Your cat looks like its sitting guard...
Good spec you seem to have got yourself a cracking car, you mentioned new tyres what brand did you fit.
The grills are a little bit of a pain to come off there are four clips holding the grill to its holder you need to gently pry open (I bought some plastic trim removal tools for doing this) a gap between the car body and the grill then insert a thin screw driver and pop off the clip once you have done one its pretty straight forward, when all four clips are sprung open gently pull the grill it and its carrier will come off in one part, now this is the tricky part the painted part needs to be separated from the carrier its held by a little lug in the middle be careful as its brittle I broke one of mine and had to glue it together. That's it once painted everything just clips back together.

Cat is very lucky I didn't flip out! But figgered he do more damage if I told him off.
I got Bridgestone Potenzas RE050 A N0 fitment. Seem to be pretty good all round wet and dry - we really have had some odd weather.
