Sky cool grey interior with Torch red seat belts and red piping looks simply magnificent, today and 50 years down the road. I will never buy a black interior again, way too boring and cave-like (especially without a sunroof). As they say, different strokes… but there’s no replacement for fine...

I’m in the exact same boat, with a Boxster S also in winter storage. I used to run an RS4 in winter, which was a blast, but sold it as maintenance costs were rising and some parts getting harder to find. I like ITS, but can’t get blue with red interior, and I’d like a little more backseat leg...

Never heard of transport mode. Does this work for our (manual transmission) cars?: To turn Transport Mode On/Off, start the vehicle, press the brake pedal, activate the hazard flashers, hold the start button for at least 15 seconds. Transport Mode On/Off message will display on the DIC and the...

After 4 months in storage my battery was still above 50% charge, so if yours dies after 12 days you have a parasitic draw somewhere.

Can you post a picture next time you have it hooked up under the hood? I connected my NOCO smart trickle charger under the hood, using the alligator clips, checked a couple months later, and the battery was down to 50%. I then connected the NOCO directly to the battery in the trunk (that was a...

So, I just heard back from 5spurs. They're asking "can the button housing be removed from the dash easily?" I'm away from my 'wing at the moment, and don't have the mechanical wherewithal to test, so can anyone here confirm if our starter button housing is easy to remove?

This is one of the very few 23s that ever escaped the Goat pen and made it across the border to Canada. Ontario specifically.

Would anyone else here be interested in purchasing an aerospace grade aluminum starter button priced in the $50-$75 range?

I had “wow, that’s a Lexus-level luxury detail” moment yesterday. The sun was really shining so the cabin was hot when I got in and started up the car, so as I was leaving the HVAC fan automatically turned up to its highest setting. But, when I held down the steering wheel button to summon the...

I would like to replace my starter button with one that’s actually metal (aluminium?). I also wish the steering wheel was wrapped with higher-quality leather. To really compete against ze Germans, these touchpoints need to be better. Is there a metal aftermarket starter button available?

I suspect you’re posting here to assuage your guilt. Next time, hit the V button twice and educate the poor fellow, as any gentleman should.

275/35R19 all around? New rims as well I assume.

Please report back on the performance of your Vredstein set? As much as I loathe the idea of winter driving my ‘wing on Ontario’s salty roads, I really miss driving the beast, so am looking for options…
