    Trunk / Tail Lights (mis) alignment - how to adjust

    I pulled the trim back off inside the trunk all the way down to where the sub was exposed. I don't see any bumper fasteners from this angle: When I position my phone on top of the sub shooting backwards, I do see these horizontally threaded T30s: But loosening those would only allow the...

    Trunk / Tail Lights (mis) alignment - how to adjust

    A couple of fresh pics from the garage I just took. I'm in the process of ordering some hexagon LED lights from Hyperlite, which will make my garage soo much brighter. I currently have mostly old fluorescent lights that are about 26 years old.

    Trunk / Tail Lights (mis) alignment - how to adjust

    Yeah, I should have looked it over more carefully. But I was super exited and after the solo test drive (sales guy just tossed me the keys and said if you wreck it, you bought it, lol). After that exhilarating experience, I pulled out the checkbook and paid the man. Less than $100k out the...

    Trunk / Tail Lights (mis) alignment - how to adjust

    It doesn't look like too bad a job. I basically just need to pull the trim from inside the trunk like I had when swapping out the factory ASG with the MapEV tuned one.

    Trunk / Tail Lights (mis) alignment - how to adjust

    Couple of pics from when I got it home: Main visual change since above pics was swapping those front side markers with the Euro style. Also added MapEV tune and getting the Matrix LED headlights activated this week. along with the rear led strip. Going to the detail shop next week...

    Trunk / Tail Lights (mis) alignment - how to adjust

    I agree, I love the way the J1.1 looks and found this final year of the J1.1 sample within 80 miles of where I live! Here's the sticker. It appears to have most options. I'm not familiar with the original release printed cover. Do you have link per chance? The ONLY thing I wish was...

    Max G force from a roll

    I'm running the MapEV tune, so I'm more or less in launch mode all the time (790 hp and 775 ft-lbs). Assuming your 4S has the performance battery, you should be around (720 hp and 487 ft-lb), at least that's what the MapEV website is showing. So yeah, if I didn't have a tune, I think you would...

    Trunk / Tail Lights (mis) alignment - how to adjust

    I adjusted both sides all the way down like this: The passenger side was in the middle before and the driver side was all the way up. Trunk now sits like this: The top deck of the trunk is now flush with the rear quarters but I agree that the rear bumper is not 100% right, but at least...

    Trunk / Tail Lights (mis) alignment - how to adjust

    Here's the entire trunk lid closed: And here are the adjusters I believe you're talking about: Looks one of the 2 snap on covers is missing on the right side one. So just pop those covers, loosen the torx screws and then slide the stop up or down until I get both sides perfectly aligned, right?

    Max G force from a roll

    Here are my max readings: Dragy readings: Almost hit 1G again when transmission slammed into 2nd gear around 60 MPH. My SoC was only around 70% which is why the 60-130 wasn't optimal.

    Trunk / Tail Lights (mis) alignment - how to adjust

    I picked up a low mileage '24 Turbo S a few weeks ago. Per the Carfax report, it had minor repair work done to the left rear quarter. It looks good overall, but the trunk / taillights don't quite line up. Here's the right side which looks good: The left side, no to much: The trunk has a...

    Picked up 2024 Turbo S on July 10th (9 days ago) - Still waiting to get verified in My Porsche App

    Innovative Software is activating my LED Matrix headlights next week and are sending me an oem piwis unit. I suppose I can ask them to check and update any software before they start the process as it could otherwise be lost if/when I do get ota updates (not very likely) or when I take it in...

    Picked up 2024 Turbo S on July 10th (9 days ago) - Still waiting to get verified in My Porsche App

    I did take it to the dealer a couple of weeks ago have them give it a quick once over and they claimed it was current on all updates: If I take it back, is there any specific update I can tell them it's missing. I guess I can show them the picture showing that its still charging at 10.5kW...

    Picked up 2024 Turbo S on July 10th (9 days ago) - Still waiting to get verified in My Porsche App

    Checked for software updates again, nothing. Don't think it matters, but mine is a late 2023 build 2024 model and has the updated SFD2 lock, which sucks: I'm not particularly keen on taking it to a dealer (I try to avoid those whenever I can), but perhaps I'm missing out on other updates by...

    Successful Matrix headlight activation for US Taycan

    I chatted with Innovativesoftnz via WhatsApp and yep, they are very responsive. This checks one of my boxes for going this direction. They looked up my VIN and it looks like my US 2024 is late enough that it has the sfd2 lock, aaarrrggghh: Given this, I don't think I want to tackle this...
