Try the 718 forum this is for the 986. No electronic steering, no awesome sound system, no decent navigation, no power, no PDK, no link to an app. What's an app? But we do have grenading IMS bearings.

My buddy can get me a coupon for Goodyears. Great, the 968 needs tires. Goodyear no longer makes the 225/16 tire. Pretty soon our choices will be Coker or Coker, and whatever compound that is. .
