Porsche PIWIS TSI Pricing

I posted  a walk-through video on my YouTube Channel "GTSilver" the other day, walking through the official Porsche AG information system, known as PIWIS TSI.  If you haven't already watched that video, check it out here:

Since I've posted that walk-through, I've been asked a number of times about the cost for accessing and using the application... and what plan I think is the best deal.  So I thought I'd post another quick video update to the channel where I talk about pricing, show the pricing table, and my thoughts on value, etc....  So please, go check it out!

And please, subscribe to my channel, hit the "like" button and I will keep vlogging!

DIY: Porsche 991 911 C4S Inner Door Panel Removal and Installation

Hi All-

I've put together a YouTube video showing how to remove the full inner-door panel of my 2014 991 C4S.  The procedure for ALL 991 model years and configurations is the same, and I believe this also applies to the 981 platform as well.

I had to add narration after the video was shot -- too much background noise at the time made it hard to record.  If you need additional guidance, let me know.  I also have step-by-step written instructions.

The procedure is really quite simple, and even for the novice is very low-risk and you should be able to get the full panel off within 10-15 minutes using this video...

Enjoy!

Porsche PIWIS TSI Walkthrough

I just posted a new video up on my YouTube Channel:

This is a somewhat rambling walkthrough / overview of the official Porsche PIWIS TSI, or Porsche Integrated Workshop Information System - Technical Service Information.

I posted an index recently of all the Work Manuals and some other reference documents I've used over the past year or two working on my own 991 -- thought this might also be helpful to others who like to get their own hands dirty.

Thanks!

Porsche 991 Work Manuals & Misc Reference Documents

UPDATED October 5th, 2018:  I've added links to two additional documents that are comprehensive PDF of various WMs for 2012-2015 991.1's.

I am posting a complete listing of all the "official" Porsche Work Manuals that I have saved for reference so that others may get an idea of what I have available for various DIY projects, etc.   I've also included some other reference materials (such as fault code tables, after-sales training, etc.).  Nearly all of the documents I have obtained from the official Porsche PIWIS TSI application, and for the most part all documents are going to be specific to my 2014 MY C4S -- but most all documents will also apply to other 991's, except in obvious cases for CABs, GT3s, and TTs.  PIWIS TSI requires an account and is not for free -- there are various payment options, including unlimited annual, pay-as-you-go in blocks of time, and by-the-document.

If you have any questions about the documents, want to chat about the procedures included, etc. please comment.  I'll also be posting a short video walkthrough of the PIWIS TSI application online soon so that you can observe how I've obtained the documentation over the past year or two.

Thanks!

991.2 Marketing Kit

Hi All-

Returned home from the BCX meet this morning to find a package from Porsche on my doorstep....  Opened, and inside was a very nicely-done marketing kit for the new 991.2 cars.  I'll post some pics here and a video on YouTube  (coming soon as I can upload) so you can see what was inside.  The marketing team for Porsche does a great job, and this kit was pretty cool!  Just wish I had much larger version of the cut-away view drawings!

Enjoy!

Nice textured box for the following...

Inside were 4 cut-away viewers --  you slide the tab along the bottom to change from exterior to cut-away.

Very nice, high-quality materials...

Oh, and a hard-cover book as well!

Just posted a video of going through the kit for the first time....

Bucks County Exotics Meet Jan 2 2016

Great turnout for the Bucks County Exotics (#buckscountyexotics) meet this morning!  Despite 38 degree weather, it was sunny, and afew brave souls arrived top-down! 

Some pics I took while shivering my A$$ off....

There's a Mclaren peeking out from the middle there...!

Beautiful 991 GT3 dedicated track car.  No passenger seat in the front!

Awesome Lotus with custom wheels.

Very rare sighting indeed!  Tesla Roadster!  Most people forget this was out way before Model S!

Aston, Turbo, GT2, Maserati.....

#GT3!
