DJMC Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I like the black edging to the white side panels. Did you consider this for the bonnet/roof/rear panel too, or thought it overkill? Looks great anyhow, especially from front 3/4 angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwhatton Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 thanks, yes i did consider it for the bonnet and roof but thought it was a bit over kill and look a bit odd. the side panels work so well as it defines the curves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJMC Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 When I had my TTS I vaguely looked into re-maps and APR would have been my choice if I'd kept the car and decided to go ahead. When you say "remapped from work" do you mean you work for an APR dealer? I have a couple of questions arising from reading APR's web page, here: https://www.goapr.com/products/ecu_upgrade_987s.html 1/ Does your map come with "Program switching" where you can switch between up to four different engine calibrations using the cruise control? 2/ 321 BHP is using 93 octane fuel. Did you put the car on the dyne to see what yours is producing, assuming you're using 99 RON? 3/ How much does it cost, installed? 4/ Does it affect MPG? I'd assume more power = more fuel? Probably too early for you to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwhatton Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 yes i work for awesome gti thats APR uk head office. 1 yes you can have switch able mapping on the porcshe but ive not had it put on mine 2 no its not been on the dyno yet just waiting on my exhaust to be made first and yes im using 98 ron fuel 3 the map on the 987 is £898.80 inc vat inc the rollong road from us at awesome gti. 4 i went out on sunday in it and the fuel was very good tbo i think its better mpg with the map on as it a lot smoother in the rev range will find out the fuel when i go away to austria in may. let me know if you need any more information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJMC Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Thanks Andy. It was me who sent the message about the 981 tuning. Thanks for the info. Maybe when it's out of warranty. Oh... and are you arranging a 20% discount for COC members, as Zunsport have done recently? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the Goodyears will handle anything I can throw at them for now. Off out on a 80 mile round trip in a while. I'll see how they fair. This includes a catback exhaust - not clear what the remap itself is doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwhatton Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 yes i can sort a discount out for any of the coc on any parts that i can get from work . as for the mapping thats with the car standared ill be puting mine on the rolling road when the exhaust is all sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilCS Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 That's the first time I've seen these wheels on Porsche, certainly different...and that's not a polite way of saying '"I don't like them" by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJMC Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 ...I see them carbon wrapped or anthracite, not sure white will work as it may detract from the body colour scheme? Forever dirty in white too!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
