Sure, for those that have the money QuickJacks are the way to go.

Glad it was helpful!

Good question. I do use the pdk in manual mode most of the time when I'm at the track and even on the road. I leave it in auto sometimes when I'm learning the track, so I can focus on the lines. I don't remember the exact circumstances of this video. Manual mode is definitely more fun.

She’s a stiff one as they say! Which would be a good thing. But seriously no different than jacking up any vehicle, they’re designed to be jacked at the jack point.

This is nothing compared to the stress to the chassis of actually driving the car on the road, not to mention on the track.

@@daherfamily7163 Yes I agree with that but when changing a tire you only lift the car enough to get the wheel off the ground, the twist induced by that is not even close to how high you lifted the car.

@@cartalkwithcarlos1785 when the car is on the ground the suspension and chassis will never see the twist that was induced by him lifting the car that high on one wheel. This is common knowledge, if you plan to lift the car that high you need to do it in stages or the best way to do it is lift the entire front end or rear end so there is no twist and put you jack stands or whatever you are using on both side at the same time

It's not uncommon for a car to lift one wheel of the ground while being driven. The "twisting" of the chassis you see in the video is nothing compared to the stress of actually driving the car. This is also common knowledge. But if you are afraid of causing damage to the car, you can certainly buy another pair of Rennstands and do the same process but in stages. Have fun.

Sorry, I reused the same bolt so I don't know where you can purchase it. Did you lose it? 😮 I'm sure the dealership will be happy to sell you an overpriced one 😂

@@cartalkwithcarlos1785 Thanks for the reply. In the user manual, it indicates the size is 8.8 m6 * 16 mm. Mine is broken in the hole. And I need to pull it out later.

Sorry, no clue 😐

Wow, very interesting. Perhaps they improved the design to minimize break noise.

Great to hear!

humm, not sure if I understand. I think you are asking if it would be possible to lift both front wheels from only one rear point. I don't think that would work, at least not high enough to slip the stand underneath. But worth trying.

I'm glad it helped!

Thanks Keith, this kind of comment makes me happy. I heard about Avants, but unfortunately I sold my car recently. I'm looking for something new. The car market is messed up right now, so it might take a while.

Sure, I'm on it.

I'm glad it helped. Thanks for this very nice comment!

yes

ESCO 10498 Jack Stand, 3 Ton Capacity, Silver

Nothing needs to be done with electronic parking brakes apart from making sure they are not engaged. There are other cars that require going into service mode, but not with 911s. No calibration needed also.

Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it. I bought everything on Suncoast. Here is the link: www.suncoastparts.com/category/991G2SBRASTD.html

No point really. Some of these videos were created to keep me busy during the pandemic and this one is just some nice music with me removing the front bumper to install the Rennline radiator protectors. The link to the actual instructions are in the video description.

It's only mandatory if you are doing at the dealer but if you DIY you can definitely choose to do only pads. In terms of work it's not much different because you have to remove the calipers to change the pads, and when calipers are removed it's so easy to replace the rotors. But from a cost standpoint doing just pads is much cheaper. Have fun in your garage!

Good question, I've never bled my brakes but I'm planning to do it sometime next year so maybe I can record a video then.

Sorry, I'm not planning on changing spark plugs in my car anytime soon, but there are videos on UA-cam already about that.

Nice, what color/model did you get?

@@cartalkwithcarlos1785 I got p107sc’s in frozen stone clear

I'm glad it helped!

BTW, nice onboard videos in your channel.

@@cartalkwithcarlos1785 Ha! Thanks. I’m definitely a bit of a track addict. Here’s me in a different car at last weekend’s SCCA race at LRP. Skip to the restart around 34:15. I started this race at the back of the grid due to literally losing a wheel and a DNF in an earlier race that day. :) ua-cam.com/video/cm3LT2-OP20/v-deo.html

Very nice! I had fun watching this. Lots of overtaking. The spin at 00:35 and the double overtake at 00:42 💯

@@cartalkwithcarlos1785 It was not a great race result, but it was an incredibly fun race. Happy to have that track excitement in a Miata vs my car! ;)

The wheels are holding up great. I use them for track days which is harder on wheels due to hard cornering/ braking and so far I haven't had any problems.

The mf er just wouldn’t let her speak. Eff people like that!

The front rotors had 25k miles and they were getting cracked around the holes. According to Porsche cracking is normal and you can keep using the brakes until the cracks grow to a certain size (I believe you absolutely must replace the rotors when cracks connect from one hole to another). I figured since I track the car it was safer to replace the rotors because of the cracks. I should have taken a picture before I trashed the old rotor.

I'm glad it helped!

I'm happy with the Cup2s but they are quite expensive. I'm thinking about something different for the next set.

@@cartalkwithcarlos1785 If you had the choice or opportunity to trailer the car to the track, would you put Hoosier R7s on the 20" OEM Carrera S wheels? Or stick with Cup 2s and similar DOT approved extreme rubber?

Good question. If I had a trailer I think I would go with a full race compound.

@@cartalkwithcarlos1785 Hey Carlos, wish there was a way to DM through youtube but have no idea so sorry to hijack your comments thread here - I have more questions about the Cup 2 choice issue. Just want to know more from you about why your experience with them leads you to want slicks instead. I'm on the cusp of plunking down $1800 with Tire Rack for a set of Cup 2s for my 17' 911 for dedicated track use (have trailer) and most higher experienced DE folks I've talked to encourage me as an intermediate DE driver with a basic car (not a GT or track prepped dedicated car) to stick with Cup 2 or similar compound tire as there is much more progressive behavior at the limit than Hoosier R7s or Pirelli slicks. The race compound slicks will just fall off a sudden cliff at the limit and will also burn through their heat cycles quicker than we would lose tread life on Cup 2s. Yes the grip is fantastic but the trade off for folks with our type of cars is high. Wondering your thoughts on this. I trust your instincts and we are in very similar cars. By the way, I would be putting my Cup 2s on dedicated 19" wheels, not my OEM 20"s. I'll be getting a little more shoulder but still have same mm tread width (245 front and 305 rear).

Hey, no problem about the DM through YT. I'm enjoying the conversation. I'm not an expert on tires, and the reason I said I would get a dedicated race compound if I had a trailer is purely based on price. But I just checked TireRack and found that the Hoosiers are more expensive than the Cup2s. Wow, that must be a great tire! Please don't get me wrong, the Cup2s are fantastic tires and I strongly recommend them. After switching to Cup2s my lap times improved significantly because they are better tires, but also because they give me more confidence to push closer to the limit. They never get greasy like the PZeros did and you can feel when grip is at the limit. That being said, it's an expensive tire, so for the next set I'm thinking about getting something a little cheaper that I won't feel bad about burning through a set in a few track days. If you are in the cusp of buying a set of Cup2s, go for it. They are amazing tires.

Thanks for the feedback! I ended up getting a pair of RennStands by Safe Jack and I'm planning to make a follow up video showing how to jack all four wheels soon.

I checked the price for parts in the three dealerships in my area and they were either similar to Suncoast or higher. I also checked Pelican and other websites. Where do you usually buy your parts?
