Good luck getting these surrounds! It took me two registrations with Porsche to actually join the register! The first one was lost and after successfully joining, I am still waiting for the surrounds, over 9 months later. Still on back order according to the local OPC

I got the same duck tail for my 987. I was wondering if I needed to remove the OEM spoiler first. There were no instruction in the box. Thanks mate.

When lifting the centre console out there is also a wire to remove from the locked compartment clip which can break easily so look underneath when lifting the back

Hi. I got the classic number plate surrounds for my 986 about 2yrs ago from Porsche Solihull. Like you, I thought the rear looked great but was unconvinced by the front. I ended up reverting back to the old front plate but kept the rear.

Is the dyno done with RON 99? Mine is remapped on RON 98, good 205/17 tires and bilstein B14. Deleted the sound actuator and added sound dampening in de boot. No optical mods. Philips sells LED H4 that are TüV approved in germany for the UP. The only mod I would like is lowering seat position and a sports seat.
@RicsCars4 ай бұрын
Yeah RON 99. Some better seats would make a huge difference unfortunately they’re not a cheap upgrade

I have an 03 Boxster S which I bought a year ago 75k FSH. I have so far spent £1900 on basic maintenance which the previous owner avoided , but money well spent to me. You can't take short cuts on this type of vehicle & as long as you keep on top you shall have a very reliable car Indeed. Can't wait until next week to fetch it back from the wheel refurbishment garage ( another well spent £700 ) . Roll on the summer weather & to show this car off.

Question, if you find your road+ noisy and say the full res is the one you would pick rather. Then why do this mod at all? Is there a performance gain? Or only the look of the big end tip?
@RicsCars4 ай бұрын
I really liked the Road + exhaust it was just a little too noisy when cruising down the motorway. I would recommend the resonated version as it will still be a improvement over the original with not so much drone compared with the Road +. I doubt there would be much difference in performance and yeah the big tail pipe does look pretty cool too. It really depends what your looking for from an exhaust. hope this answers your question.

Hi, i already have an aftermarket exhaust that now needs changing as its rusted out on the pipe welds. What is the drone like at 2500 and 3000 rpm / 70mph? Mine has a drone that can be annoying, whats this one like. thanks.
@RicsCars5 ай бұрын
Yeah it does drone a bit when you’re driving on the motorway. 5 gear at 70mph isn’t too bad. I don’t do a lot of motorway driving in my car so I can overlook it but it’s definitely not quite on the motorways.

Ordered from the link, went to fit it today but its not compatible with my 2018 model. Looking into it now it appears theres a change in switch part way through 2018 although mine does look like the one on the left hand side on the video picture which is a bit misleading. Anyway all I can say is best removing the whole thing first to check first if your going to do this. Anything 2017 or older the part WONT fit, anything 2019 onwards will probably fit, anything in between is guess work and will definatety need checking first.

No such thing as a poor mans Porsche. The servicing & parts are the same . I should know as I bought a well tidy 03 986 which was on 72,000 eight months ago with FSH . The car was a steel at 6.5k in my opinion but have spent over £2000 on basic mechanics. I love this car to bits & every time I take her out is an event.
@RicsCars5 ай бұрын
Agreed! Cheaper to buy which makes them great value. But still offer all the great things you'd expect from any Porsche.
