I had it retro fitted, I just like the extra slip angle it gives you on the PSM without turning PSM fully off. as for the exhaust get a TI one fitted for the same price as a OPC one and forget having a warranty imo, I did not renew either of my cars. 1/2 the stuffs not covered when you get the renew form though, so did not see the point in it. I guess a buyer would need to check it's had the full 4 year service with Spark plugs and AC regas, brake fluid on that car also as it's NOW DUE. Shame about it having AC as I really don't think it goes with the car and is just hassle when it goes wrong on older cars, and starts to smell like dead cats. But as not many like this come for sale and these low miles I would buy it subject to the big 4 years service being done without any of the extras missing.
Haha!! Its by using the stalk on the left of the steering column.
The good thing about it is that if you start it and then pause it, it actually lights up, which it normally doesn't do. It is the only good thing about it though... [ORIGINAL: tyinsky The OBC stalk? I'm sure I was looking for it there? Will have another go when I next get in it.

I keep getting surprised by how many Spyders pop up with seriously few miles and this one can have an even better sports exhaust than the PSE and Chrono without the dash wart can be added too Looks like it is almost your required spec with the options that can't be changed easily ie old school gears and buckets for the backside [8D] If it isn't a million miles from you it must be worth a test drive and closer inspection[&o] I think it will sell before the other 2 cars for several reasons[
] Great to hear. I think you did the right thing going straight to some driving roads. If you'd have gone straight home 250 miles on the M6 / M1, that journey might have been quite an anti-climax[ORIGINAL: tyinskyI'll probably have the roof off at some point (occasionally). Don't really have any first impressions, or at least anything that will be new to existing Spyder owners. Wouldn't be fair to compare it to the 964 as they are so different and equally good. I did find it very easy to drive quickly around the triangle and had more confidence than in other Porsches I've driven around it (964, 997s), although that could be down do it being more familiar or whatever other factors come into play like the weather, my mood... It feels special which was something high on my list for whatever I bought. Used to have a 3.2S Boxster which although very nice, did not feel special. Love the look of it. Wasn't sure about the black wheels initially but as soon as I saw them in person I was sold on them. With the roof on and the rear section left out it looks incredible (to me). Really like the PSE, the look of that clock thing in the centre of the dash which I have no clue how to work/turn on, the sat nav is the worst I have experienced in many years, those door pull things feel really crappy to use but look lovely, I was initially going to buy a Porsche Sport steering wheel for it but not bothering now as I like the one in it (helps that it is all black - think the silver insert was my issue), short shift seems good although it will take me a while to get fully used to the changes being so close. Rear visibility is awesome - reversing has never been easier!ORIGINAL: daro911Welcome tyinsky and look forward to reading your first road impressions after that 500 mile bonding experience [ORIGINAL: tyinsky Thanks. I love the way it looks without that rear section. Probably the main pull towards buying the car.
] If you're not doing so already, be sure to take the revs over 4000rpm to get that slight second surge from the variable Cam; that's how to unlock the speed[]
Sit down and read the instructions it is simples to use ..even i can get it to work but to be honest never used it in earnest . Sat Nav is also a waste unless like yours it came fitted better with a £100 Tom Tom Hope you are enjoying your car it is a good one .ORIGINAL: tyinskyThe OBC stalk? I'm sure I was looking for it there? Will have another go when I next get in it.
Hoods not much use without a car to store it in
Personally I think some OPC's like having a Spyder in the showroom it's a magnet and talking piece whilst trying to sell something less exclusive from their stock piles From day one Spyders may have been hard work to shift compared to a stock 987 but they always generated good showroom traffic and lots of interest Now that will only increase and ramp up with the passage of time 
Chap I spoke to from Porsche UK central brain said no current plans for a 981 Spyder....ORIGINAL: rob.kellock Would live to but it's a bit far. Zyp might join you. A convoy of white Spyders would look amazing! Just back from Macan launch. Unlimited free booze, tasty food and very warm welcome at Bolton. It looks like this:DP said they sold a Spyder earlier in the year without advertising it. Wished he had 4 in the showroom as he'd sell them all. Was invited to go and choose a replacement and they'd SOR mine for best possible price... Then drove it home and still in love...
