I've got the same tires on right now (they came with the car). I can vouch that they are not very noisy, or at least not enough to bother me. The treadwear is great and they look slick, not your usual tread pattern. Good look with the tranny.

Well I took out the axles and drilled them out to 10mm. I went to porsche and scored some cayman axle to tranny bolts. They may be a little short but there good to check my fitment right now. The carreras use the same bolts but are a bit longer so I may wind up getting those and then all should be good. I took some photos but I don't have time to post them up right now. Check back maybe I will get them up tomorrow.

That's cool if you already drilled out the axles. I think there was a transition though when Porsche switched from 8 mm to 10 mm bolts and there was some kind of transmission transition fix they used. I seem to recall reading about it in a service manual. No worries though, you came up with your own fix.

Well Jaay, it looks as if you're gaining a few fans here with your work, me included. I shot you a PM (your inbox is full BTW) regarding tranny removal. Your project reminds me of a good friend and myself having NOS wars 20 plus years back, we'd bet on finding the weakest link (money on which part) in the driveline when increasing the base plates .
