I’m thinking the speakers are the problem.
The rokit 8s are nice but they’re not ideal for the space. By the time it’s loud enough my neighbors hate me. I usually use tv buitin audio.
It’s a big rectangular room.
Flexible budget.
What do?
Right now I have 3 firearms:
Remington Model 37, family heirloom (keep)
M4-gery AR 15, which I bought piece by piece and assembled with my father (sell/trade) (Lower is DPMS, upper is stag arms) (this one does have some memorabilia value to me but living in CA makes this less fun.
Walther P99 QA, which I bought because I always thought it was cool, even though I hate using it (sell/trade)
I live in CA and have a fixed bolt action on the AR15. Super lame and doesn't feel as fun to shoot. I don't enjoy shooting handguns. So I'm thinking of selling/trading 2 and 3 and picking up another bolt action rifle.
What would you suggest? Maybe a center fire bolt action rifle? (or something completely different that's legal in CA)
I was informed that after an AOS + breather hose failure, it might be a good idea to look into carbon cleaning.
Like duct cleaning for my HVAC, I’m super skeptical about this, short of a partial rebuild of the engine.
What does “carbon cleaning” entail? How do you pick someone to do it? (I’m in the SF Bay Area )
At low speeds and low rpm, I get that lugging feeling.
I have to accelerate a certain amount for the pdk to shift smoothly, and sport mode and manual shifting helps a lot to get higher rpms and keep it smooth.
But when crawling along… short repeated low speed bursts, shifting between 1 and 2… my car hates me.
How do you drive a pdk 997.2 in stop and go traffic?
I got the Jaquemonde wing for 997.2 (looks like .2 aerokit and .1 gt3), and had my body shop do a test fit.
The body shop folks seemed really skeptical about it. They ultimately told me it didn’t line up properly and they couldn’t fit it.
Manufactuerer suggested taking out these black plastic clips on the hinges to make more space. (See photo)
Should this be necessary? Should I look for a different shop? I’m in the SF bay area in case you have a recommendation!
What are your thoughts?
I purchased a 2011 911 about 2 years ago. Car had 62k miles, 3 instances of minor damage on carfax, and the perfect spec for me (including speed yellow).
I knew it was risky, but was willing to repair. Want to see what you all think of these repairs, any pattern or normal wear and tear?
In addition to these, I also did some regular maintenance items, like battery upgrade to AGM, pdk service, diff fluid, brakes, hood struts.
Does this seem like a reasonable amount of maintenance and repairs in 2 years for a 15 year old 65k mile 997.2? Anything else I should save up for HA?
