Parrot Asteroid in 86 944 Turbo

[Fat Albert]

I am running 30 PSI on the front and 32 on the rears on my 17" with Falken 452s all 'round, running slightly soft at the rear makes the car feel more planted and grippy

How well does the Parrott work, is the phone audible?

Works really well with my iPhone 4. Really intuitive operating system, makes Kenwoods and Alpines seem so out dated - this has done for the car stereo what the iPhone did for the mobile phone. I believe Parrot up to now have been all about voice recognition and it shows; i just press the button, say the name of the album I want and it then starts playing - same with my phonebook - I do my ET and say "phone home" and it just does it...the phone is very audible but i guess that would come down to your speakers and how good they are.

Bruce,
I suspect the sport D90's you refer to are CS Forged wheels which are a different animal from the D90's, yes they look similar to the D90 to the untrained eye but they are forged, lighter, and the spokes are about half the thickness of D90 when seen togetrher.
Fitted to all MO30 Chassis cars as part of the package.
Also fitted to some 928 models.

Mark I think you are right about the turbo forged alloys. They are a fine wheel. look like a D90 but are a forged construction and light as hell!! They also have a clean finish to them both front and rear i.e. the spokes are not inset from the rim both front and rear.

Thanks for the additional info - I've never seen any in person so just going off photos and descriptions from various sources - most of which are inconsistent.... I was never totally sure if there were D90s in both S2 and Turbo widths and then the forged CS wheels also or if the Turbo wheels were always the forged CS wheels. So it sounds like the forged CS wheels were available with M030 package on any S/S2/Turbo. Does that mean that Turbo w/o M030 package would have come with the wider D90s?

Thanks

I think with those sorts of things Porsche's tend to be market specific, if not order specific. Even in the '80s Porsche were all about the options!

I do feel that black with black leather interior is one of the rarest combo's -

Let's not forget that the car itself is getting rarer all the time so certain colour combinations now appear to be hard to find. According to the DVLA figures there are only just over 300 still taxed and on the road:

Bruce,
I had a 1990 250 Turbo with no MO30 that came with 9" rear D90's so i can take a gues that that is the case.....................until corrected []
