Splitter (or sports spoiler) can be bought separately for the standard bumper - cost me about £120 on my car, but certainly improves the look of the front end without sacrificing ground clearance.

Thanks, guys! Am doing 500 miles in it this weekend, so will report back next week! :thumb:

Nice!

Jealous! (seems like its going to be ages until I get mine )

 

[Simon991]

Cheers, folks! :thumb:

Have now driven a further 200 miles this morning from Cheltenham to Kent, albeit mostly motorway. Super impressed!

Although will be dropping the car back to OPC next week with a minor couple of niggles regarding parking brake and steering.

I'll do a proper write up early next week...

Juddering

Hi. Regarding my 991.1 I've mentioned to my OPC about:

1. A kind of 'juddering' feeling when doing tight turns at low speed especially noticed when I drove the car out of its parking space from cold. Been told this is perfectly normal and is due to the wide tyres/track on the 911 and other Porsche sports cars?

2. A kind of 'grippy' mechanical feeling/effect when moving away having applied the parking brake at a junction or traffic lights etc. Didn't experience this on the Macan, nor on my previous Evoque, both of which had electronic parking brakes.

Any comments from you guys would be very welcome :thumb:

1. A function of the 911's steering geometry (non-Ackermann) - they all do this and it is quite normal, although a little disconcerting at first as it sounds like you have run over something or a wheel is about to fall off.

2. On a slope, there is hill hold type feature to stop the car rolling back when the handbrake is released. In my car, there is a slight grippy feeling because of this, but for no more than about 2-3 seconds.

Hope this helps. :lol:

Thanks, DRZ911.

That's made me feel better!

I will see if the 'grippy' feel only happens on a slope.
