What did you do to your M2 today?

Pyrat 2 · 11-26-2019, 09:52 PM

Reset the camber plates to stock, removed track pads and put original wheels on. Putting the car up for sale. Will post a full for sale thread shortly. Here are two recent shots. One tonight just after completing the work and one a few weeks ago with the Advans that are also available for sale.

Had a garage heater installed to keep it warm in Chicago winter.

Added Carplay via coding and installed Wifi antenna for better Caplay reception.

I see you live in the northern tundra, so I understand the choice of winter tires, particularly since you bought new wheels as well. Easy swap come the warmer months, as opposed to changing out tires over a single set of wheels twice a year.

That stated, did you consider putting on an all season set of tires and using them year around on your stock wheels, or all season tires on your new wheels?

I guess this opens things up to other forum members. Namely, for daily driving purposes, is there a dramatic drop in drivability/performance when swapping the stock summer tires (e.g., PS4S on my 718 CGTS) to an all season option (e.g., Michelin PS A/S 3+)? By 'daily driving,' I am implying enjoy spirited driving, but never track my vehicle.

I thought about A/S tires on the OEM wheels, but I figured the summer tires would provide the best grip when the temperature warms up again. I'm also a bit OCD so having an extra set of wheels should reduce the OEM wheels' exposure to the copious amounts of salt and general wear/tear. However, I think that if you drive relatively conservatively you could get away with a set of A/S tires depending on your region. It may not be "ideal" in terms of performance/grip though...:

Winters on for a first NY winter in the M.

I'm on standby for now with no replacement - yet. The M2 and my GT4 were/are both toys. So I still have a DD. I'll reassess in spring. Sold it now since it's worth more now while still in warranty. If I waited until next year it would have fallen out of warranty and be worth less. Plus I would have had to pay for storage since I had 4 cars and only a 3 car garage.

M2 Comp is definitely a possibility next year. The M2 was awesome and a great tool on the track. So another one is definitely an option.

Gone with the car. Wheels and track pads are up for sale though.

VisualEcho · 12-09-2019, 02:17 PM

I ordered these for my Winter set, which will stay in the garage. Figured it'd look nicer.

Bewstd · 12-10-2019, 09:57 AM

I drove it like you should on some backroads

After C&C with some new friends, all cars are 3 pedals as well. turbo 997, turbo 996, 84' 911, 997 GT3rs

Drove it in the rain to work... My daily got a piece of metal in the driver rear tire late last night, so she's down until I can get that fixed.

I got these.

I checked all the eBay links and those were the cheapest. Says they have already shipped as well.

CF Steering looks sharp.
You're referring to the CF piece only, not the entire steering wheel, right?
Where did you buy the part from? Link?

After a bath, fluid & tire pressure check. Went on my favorite mountain drive
