Hello to the wise owls of this forum. First post from me, so be gentle!
I'm about to get my first Porsche; it's a 2011 gen 2 Carrera PDK, non-S, 2 wheel drive. I want to upgrade a couple of things, and could use a little advice please.
First question - I want to change the steering wheel from the current multi function with buttons jobbie to a Sport Design one. I've seen a 991 wheel on Fleabay, part number 991 347 803 86 A34 which I'm hoping is a 991.1 version that will retrofit to mine without problems. Am I right?
Second question - I will want a little bit more noise but am very conscious of the neighbours - I used to have a Monaro VXR and it sounded glorious but too loud really for suburbia! So I'm thinking of the Gundo Hack (i.e. PCW for £250 - a genuine PSE is silly money I think) and just wondered what you guys thought.....should I ask Paul to do that centre muffler thing too or is the basic Gundo enough? Rather subjective, sorry.
Third question - if the wheel above fits, I may well ask my local OPC (Portsmouth) to retrofit the Sports / Sports Plus package (I don't like the wart clock anyway). I believe it's around £600 but again, any views for or against? I'm a fairly sedate driver, so would it be a waste of money? The car doesn't have PASM nor do I want it, so it would just be nice to have the option to sharpen gear changes up if needed.
All opinions welcomed, cheers people.
