Thanks to Mike for this picture of the car getting its second car wash. I did give the car a real car wash after this. Current tallies: oil changes = 2, car washes = 2. This was at the bottom of the wet hill where I tried to work on my drifting skills. I suck at it. I ended up putting about 35 miles on the car with a mix of time on the auto-x, road course, wet hill, the kick plate course, and a bit of time taking breaks and standing around over the hour and a half session. The road course at PECLA is my favorite in all of SoCal because of its mix of low-speed and high-speed corners with elevation changes thrown in.
The next track day was at Streets of Willow. In the second half of the day, I remembered to manually activate the rear spoiler. Otherwise, it raises somewhere around 80mph and goes back down when the car goes below 60mph or so. Therefore, the spoiler was going up and down a couple times every lap until I manually put it in the up position.
I couldn’t get the tow hook to install at first. The threads were painted in this black coating, so I thought the coating was the issue at first. After struggling for a bit more, I realized the threads on the tow hook are left-hand threaded. Why did Porsche do that? I have no clue.
Coming off the track hot to measure the brake temperatures, there was some smoke coming off the fronts. And I pegged my IR gun at its 500C measurement range. The S2000 with the StopTechs never got this hot, but the 718 T has about the same size front brakes and another 60hp. I would say the stock everything brakes are at the limit with this car only having 300hp. The pedal got a little soft on me from the repeated braking from 110mph to 45mph coming down the front straight. I’d ballpark at about 85% firmness on the track and it has recovered to about 90%.
The front calipers were about the same temperature as I saw at PECLA.

Using the Launch X431, it’s hidden somewhere under Porsche Stability Management which I think is under DCM. I had to actually use the search bar using the term ‘PTV’ to find it.
