Porsche Owners Thread - If you own one or just like or hate them! :)

I've been looking at the H&S site, and it looks like that might be the 986 exhaust? They didn't seem to have an option for the 987S...

Does look like a 986 zaust in fact my 986 had that same zaust... are there really no options on a 987 gen 1? :(
 
Come along too!

The wife would kill me, I have just finished the doing the following trip:
London - Thailand - singapore - London - Chicago - Toronto - Chicago - Las Vegas - London - Dubai - Chennai - Ahmedabad - Bomaby - London

That has kept me away form home for 3 months, Im off to mobile world congress in Barcelona a couple of weeks and then Prague. I just hope I have a wife when I get back :D

So this is what he has offered for £300 plus an extra £100 for the tips

Absolute bargain!
If in the end you don't use them you could probably sell them on for nearly double. :)

Ah good to know, I just sent payment so they should be with me next week.

So I assume another £500 quid for fitting and what £300 for other parts?

What other warranty friendly mods can I do?
 
Kingy - I've got the short shift gearstick on my 987 Boxster S and it's great, I drove a 2010 Cayman that didn't have it and it didn't feel anywhere near as nice to change.

I agree in the cold it's a bit stiff but I'm use to that now. Not sure how much it is to fit or if you can even get it but I love mine.

Porsche will allow you to do anything that was designed for your model from the factory or tech equipment. So PSE, X51 performance package or parts of it etc.

Stuff like BMC filters, just remove and put stock back in when visiting dealer and same for the pipes to give more noise and power, very easy to fit and remove.

If your gonna do track days get GT3 brake cooling ducts, OPC won't care about them and they cool your brakes better.

Did my 8th track day today on the SuperSports and there is still 4mm+ left all round, bloody amazing tyre life considering they've done over 10,000 road miles too!

Car performed incredible on track too, out of 90ish cars only two ever passed me, an M3 stripped and on full slicks and a bonkers fast Westfield/Caterham thing, it was even immense on the straights.

The combination of moving front camber upto -2.0 degrees and fitting the 1mm thicker rear roll bar has reduced the understeer to minimal, now it's no longer annoying as it once was. If I could locate the rear 21.7mm ARB I think it would be exactly where I want the car in all conditions. :)
 
Thanks for the info, to be honest I would not want to take my own car on the track but the last time I was on a track I was in a KTM X-Bow and that thing was flying past everything on the track!!!
 
I'm converting to steel, gonna put the PCCB's in storage whilst they are still pristine. Set Porsche Turbo disc all round already ordered from OPC. :)

ohh why are you doing that? I would have thought that there are a few years left in your PCCB.

Are Turbo Discs and Pads an upgrade over the standard discs and pads on a S?

My car has PCCB which is bigger calipers, bigger disc but they are ceramic so about £2500 per disc minimum, for road use they'll last the life of the car, but track use can kill them. Turbo disc are the right fit and size and cost 20x less per set, braking performance will be similar. Ceramics are dust free and weigh far less, but I'm gonna try the steels with ceramic pads and see how they go. :)
 
Gibbo how much were these SuperSports?

My tyres are close to 3mm after 10k of 'gentle' road use so to see you've got 4mm left with 10k road use and 8 track days means maybe I should get these next time.

Hi m8

Guys who do no track work are seeing 30k+ miles from a set on 911's. :eek:

Its not just the longest lasting tyre I've ever experienced but also the best performance road tyre by absolute miles, nothing comes close to the wet/dry grip they offer, but the most important factor the confidence and feedback they offer.

Pricing wise, they are similar to other premium tyres, check Camskill, lovetyres etc. etc.
