Will This New Oil Pan Fix Our CHEAP "Blown Engine" Porsche Boxster 981?

[@hellahandydutchman]

The Boxster is slowly getting the respect it deserves plus it's such a great gateway to Porsche ownership.

True I loved my Boxter

[@jamesharrison2570]

I just bought a Boxster. I’m so pumped. My first Porsche was a 356B. The new one will be parked next to my 1974 VW THING. LOL

[@rikaguilera2]

Anybody who puts down the Boxster or Cayman have no idea what they are talking about. I have a 911 AND a Boxster. Truth being told, the Boxster is just as quick around the track and is more fun in the Tx Hill country twisty roads. Once you drive one (IF you are a real driver) you will always sing the praises of the car. One of the best handling cars Porsche has ever built. Keep up the Boxster content. It is awesome.

[@shelloiluk]

Same here I have a 992 911 S I've had 5 Porsches. I love a good Boxster and the engine is in the right place mid engine car

[@anthonykiedis1765]

I think they get a bad reputation because a lot of hairdressers drive them.

[@biznatcho7]

I found your channel because of the Porsche content so count me in with the group that can’t get enough Porsche videos. They’re just so much more relatable than super/hypercars. Very much looking forward to the 986/987/981 comparison video.

[@michaellong2661]

I'm thrilled with all the attention you're giving the Boxster. They're so, so underrated.

[@juve987654]

A previous owner of several Porsches starting with a '74 914 in the late '70's in college, a 924 and 944 in the 80's, then taking an over 25 year break from Porsche, and getting back into to them with the 986 Boxster and now a newer 718 982 Boxster. The Boxster's are great spirited cars that handle amazingly, and are just plain fun to drive with the top down. Keep the Porsche content coming JR, very enjoyable to watch!! You are one lucky guy to snag a deal like that on that gorgeous like-new 981.

[@MrJbipes]

As an enthusiast and an owner of 2 Boxsters, keep it up. watch the rocks with that lower oil pan.

[@glenostick3979]

I am on my 3rd Boxster I started with a 2.7 987 then a 981 2.7 base and now i have my dream car 981 GTS in sapphire blue. I can soak up all the Boxster content you can produce. I think the Porsche Boxster is one of the best cars on the road today. Please keep up the good work. Thank you

[@mattscallon3820]

never tired of Porsche videos...the faster the Porsche the better. My 4 year olds dream car is any Porsche, partially because of these videos.

[@ae4bp]

I, for one, enjoy the Boxter content and am quite jealous of the deals you guys are finding. I have owned several Porsches, but no Boxters. I used to have an 86 911, but am now thinking a Boxter could be good (cheap?) fun.

[@MrJbipes]

Boxster, Boxster, Boxster

[@Mane89]

Yes, older porsche boxster are cheap. U could get a new crashed one for cheap and replace the parts, same for older ones, u can get a older one for even cheap

[@peterfritzphoto]

The 981 Boxster/Cayman is the Porsche sweet spot. On a tight mountain road, it’s better even than a 992 911. You guys are so lucky in the US. My 75k km 2013 Boxster base with PDK, PSE & SC - which I LOVE - cost $80,000 in Australia. 🦘

[@1mmm51]

I owned a 1974 Porsche 914. I loved the mid-engine. This might be my next Porsche.

[@ralphbenitez4407]

Keep the Boxters coming! You should keep one for long term costs and reliabilities content.

[@n206ja]

I'm definitely in agreement with all your comments in this video! I've got a '14 981 Cayman and picked it up in 2016 as a CPO with only 5,000 miles! It has undoubtedly been the best bang for the buck car I've ever purchased. The combination of styling, comfort, performance, and that sweet flat 6 sound can not be beaten by any car - period. On top of that, it cruises the interstate at 75 mph and gets about 33 mpg! It's practically an econocar! LOL! Keep those Porsche vids coming!

[@Nickjc2012]

Loving the Porsche content! I think it's more relatable for us to see content in regards to purchases $10-30k compared to something 50+ Gives us hope that one day we might take a risk and do the same

[@RossCuth]

Loving the Porsche content. I have a 987.2 Cayman and it's the best car i've driven soo far, and these videos could prove useful for figuring out and sorting problems in the future. So I personally hope to see a Cayman video at some point, but any Porsche content is a win. Keep it up!

[@jobselebron5835]

I had 981 6 speed, then 987 S 6 speed and now a 981 S PDK. Love them all but the 981 S is amazing!

[@lighthouse7i]

That billet oil pan was designed for the track where there is little chance of scraping or rubbing. It sits way too low for normal driving. Should have gone with an OEM pan which would have leveled it with the entire bottom of the car & even then one would still have to be careful which is why you had to replace it to begin with. Beautiful car though and congrats on the awesome bargain.

[@garycoley6858]

Love you guys. Congratulations on having the 'eye' to find these great deals!!

[@JRGarage]

Thanks so much!!

[@steveperez9646]

Having had several 356 and 912s, neither was a super accelerator and top speed car but, to me, was their handling. That’s why this Boxster would be such a kick to drive.

[@DeuceDeuceBravo]

Smoking deal! Especially with a clean title. Absolute home run, congrats. Did they check the cylinders for damage while they had the pan off? And the warmup time is a real consideration for anyone thinking about installing a "racing" oil pan. It's complete overkill for a street car and might actually do harm if the car doesn't get up to temp during most drives. Keep the Boxster content coming! I'm a 987 owner and I love it, even though mine is relatively crappy. 😄 The 981 is absolutely brilliant.

[@stephanos2758]

whoever saying boxster is not a real Porsche, obviously don't know that Boxster saved the company.

[@chriskilgore2521]

I was in the same boat as you about the Boxster platform. I used to be one of those that would talk down on the Boxster/Cayman platform, my argument was always, yeah, but it’s not a 911, then I drove one in its element. Backroads to Porsche palooza in a 981 cayman base with my buddy in my E92 M3 following me, and he could not keep up. Shortly after that the M3 was sold and the search for a Cayman S began. I’ve now owned my 987.1 Cayman S for almost a year and a half, and absolutely love it. It is hands down my favorite car I have ever owned, and it may well be my first (of many) forever cars.

[@BrandonStachewicz]

This is the type of content I like. Hope to find a Boxster of my own

[@nategelb295]

Didn't stop smiling the whole way through, right with you :) And duh! Of course we love Boxster content! Every car enthusiast is secretly (or maybe not so secretly) a huge Porsche fan. Personally, my dream Porsche is a Boxster/Cayman with the flat-6 and a PDK. I just can't wipe the smile off my face listening to those instantaneous downshifts...

[@peterfritzphoto]

I’ve driven hundreds of cars over the years. As a daily sports car, 981 Boxster and 3.2-litre Honda NSX share the podium for first place. They’re utterly brilliant.

[@paullaverty3038]

I like the fact that you have a convertible . You can talk and hear the engine but yet you can listen to the radio and enjoy the drive I think that's the perfect sound. Such a beautiful color combo and I love that interior. Paddle shifters are the jam.

[@bwdrives]

Never driven a car that makes me feel as good as my 987.2 Boxster S, the engine literally sounds happy and makes you smile like nothing else

[@MrRoyck10]

PDK is not the best gearbox in particular for those who like driving, however for those who think that speed / bhp defines a sports car like PDK, driving a sports car is about involvement and feel using the 3rd pedal to modulate the car whilst exploiting the engine rather than depending on a computer to do the driving whilst you gloat at your driving. Manual is the collectors choice.

[@glenostick3979]

I agree i think we should bring back the advance and retard lever on the steering wheel to give the full involvement in your driving. Don't you just hate all those modern driver aids.

[@paulbradford8240]

I'm interested to know how you can drive on public roads with out any visible registration? It would not be allowed in the UK.

You got yourself another gem. I’ve been watching your videos about these Boxters and this 981 appears to be the cream of the crop. I have a 951 since 1991 and certainly wouldn’t mind owning a 981 now. Such an upgrade to more modern technology.

[@victorc1611]

Just stumbled on your channel (for 981 content) and I'm glad I did. Good energy and education here. Keep the content coming. Also own a 981B and I love the car; despite it's noices and frecuente creaking. I think it gives it character. Got mine for $44OTD w/ 17k and the deals are definitely out there guys.

Welcome aboard! 981 is such a sweet car!

[@ltambascio]

Enjoying all the Boxster content!! I have a 981 Cayman S, with sports exhaust and sports chrono which gives you a Sports + mode with rev matching on the downshifts!! The sound is amazing!!! Look at the Caymans too maybe!! 😉 Super find/job on a potentially sketchy 981 Boxster.

Deviated carpet is kinda rare. I missed out a 981S with full red leather w black deviated carpet. Sold 3 days before my Cayman sold. Ended up with a Yachting Blue interior.

[@Scotty_in_Ohio]

I don't own a Boxster or a Porsche and likely never will (except for perhaps a Macon for my wife) but I love the Boxster content - it's interesting to see the wide swing in values across the years and what great "scores" you're getting at auction (with all the risk and work that goes in to them). Worth watching for sure - even if you do get a bit over excited / over acting - it's great content nonetheless!

[@mikeohalloran6290]

The cheapest 981 Boxter in Australia with similar specs (although twice the miles), was US$60k. My Porche dream that began in 1970 when I was 17 will remain just a dream. I for one love your content and will stay tuned whether it be a Lambo, Porche or even a US muscle car (wink).

New to your channel and love the content. The first Porsche I ever drove was a Boxster. Nice thing but 20 years ago not the prettiest. The later ones such as this are excellent and better drivers cars than the 911 truth be told. I’d go for a Caymen. Walter Rohrl considers them the best handling and he’d know. You did fantastically! Good call.

[@delmargator]

I'd follow this channel without Boxster content but I love the Boxster buys and fixes you do. I have a low mileage 2001 986 S. Great fun to drive and your content takes the fear out of things that might go wrong. Porsche content is always welcome by me. Throw in an occasional 'other" type car you have perfection.

Great deal. Keep buying Boxsters, the pure sports car experience. I have had 5. Currently I drive a 2006 (987) S. I don't like that Porsche is coming with an electric Boxster.

[@THX-vb8yz]

On my 3rd Boxster. Had all 3 versions of the Boxster so far. Loved my 987S (Sold to my nephew..... again. He also bought my 986) Loved these cars! Boxster is that fun, fast, and incredible handling car! And there is a big difference between 986 S (or non S) compared to the 987. It's like they (Porsche) decided to get closer to his big brother 911. And then the 981 S, which I just bought is another leep in technology. The PDK, 300 plus horses And suspension selection (that also controls throttle response and exhaust notes) You have sport or track. I highly doubt that I'll be tracking her anytime soon. 😊 I was going to buy a 2016 911. A guy beat me to it.... sort of. Dishing out $$$ for a third car in northern Michigan?? The other guy bought the 911 and found out he was turning in a 2014 981 S. Sold.

$24k is a smoking deal Yeah it can use a better exhaust system. Keep up the great job

[@scottshand8559]

Those are great cars right off the lot, many people feel the better investment is a base model, it leave any mods/upgrades up to you. Also I would let the PDK do the shifting, it's likely better than you (or me)! With the right tires that car will provide all the performance you can use on a public road. If someone wants to hit the track then they should look at another model...and write a bigger check...maybe a much bigger check.
