Dont worry about N rated if its not under an exptended warranty with the OPC. Nothing wrong with yokohama tyres at all... really grippy.
Go with whatever suits your usage and budget and enjoy

I had 3 x Boxster S over an 9 year period and all of them were my only car / daily driver

As the spoiler goes up at 75mph, I wonder if that's evidence for the plod to give you a speeding ticket.😁
No as your speedometer is set to over read by between 5% - 10% from manufacturer. Also there are certain points to prove to be able to prosecute for speeding being the speed itself, the location of the speed and the time and date etc... none of which would be proved.

It would be quite interesting to know dyno figures from some of the older high milers?
I know its not a 986, but my 987.1 3.4S was apparently 295bhp from factory, had it on the dyno at 120,000 miles and it was 295.5bhp. Good old Germanic efficiancy

MOT history shows first MOT not until 2008 then nothing till 2015 but the mileage adds up but then the roof is out of the guttering on the n/s which is usually worn elastic.... which is weird for 5k miles.
Interior is not that clean, does not look that well prepared or looked after in my opinion.. I would be suspicious, seems cheap but lots of red flags

I believe in later cars had a feature where upon opening completion, you could press the micro switch and the windows would close again if they were closed when the operation began. Thought that was cool. Guess you’re describing the other side of that feature.
If the windows were closed, when you pressed the button for the roof to go up they would do the 2 inch drop and when you pulled the handle at the end it would re close them yes. Think the earlier post was saying if the windows were open when the roof close started

Are you sure that's a fault? Earlier models do not close the windows as part of the roof raising operation. Mine a 1998 model doesn't.
Nor did my year 2000 986S, if you press the windows to go up while you are doing the roof it stops short but then completes when you pull the latch over but they didnt close the windows if they were down on mine

When mine went, westlancsautoelectrics.co.uk were recommended on here, speedy service and an 18 month guarantee, cost me for £140

I'm pretty sure your current one is on the original clutch, from what the OPC told me.
Drives like a car with 8,000 miles on not the 108,000 it has
While you are there Mr Moderator, can you ammend the title of the thread to say "your" rather than the current "you're"

Pretty sure my 986S was still on the original clutch when I sold it with 127,000 miles on it
-
Can a mod change the thread title to "your" instead of "you're" my grammar nazi comes out every time I see it ?

Well I got them today and I'm not going to fit them. The surround to the unit is chrome and I don't think it will look right with the black. Jonathan is happy to take them back unless one of you wants them for the £280
-
Just done the diode as per the first post, took literally 5 mins. Have ordered a set of the front DRL's from Jonathan, will post pics when fitted

Here are the prices for the lights without ebay...
I can do the following 'from':
Fronts: £265
Side repeaters: £115
Rears: £375 -
I would imagine its a typo as he has them on ebay at £289 its more likely to be £215
-
Yeah I figured that would be the case. I think if its combined with the diode mod it will work fine
-
Thai version look the same, it does say on the listing with no additional fees but not sure how
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191844480463?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Ok, I got a reply from the seller as follows...
Just in the switch, it's side lights for the thin bar (good at night on its own), but for the DRL, pull switch out one click into front fog mode. Looks stunning.
So in standard guise they are not really DRL's as the only way to have them on in the daytime is to have the sidelight on and fog light setting out. However, I am sure I am right in thinking that if you combime these with the diode mod they should work with the switch in the home setting?
Looking at you @Guvs lol
-
I sent a message to the seller asking the question, hopefully they are plug and play

Does the ebay kit come with the diode and instructions ? I see the UK one is £289 and the Taiwan advert is virtually identical but £50 less. Looks loads more modern I think

Just did this mod in about 10 mins.....I too was worried about getting the ignition barrel out as I'm a bit heavy handed but it came out easy...No force is required.
thank you to Guvs for pointing to this thread and also the note about not forcing it.
i do have a question re MOT tough
ive brought these lights, again big thank you to Guvs...he is like my Porche fairy godmother ?, as he put me in Touch with the guy direct and I saved some pennies...
but...the mod works...and the upper section of the light is on in the "Home" position.
the upper LED's go off when the main beam lights are on..but the lower lesser powered section or bar is on too.
would this be an MOT failure as aren't there only supposed to be one main light on at night ?
These ones on ebay... how easy are they to do? Is it literally swop the units over and fit a diode?
Viewing this this afternoon to replace our RR Sport

Collect the new car with the current reg, when you get the retention cert back transfer it on to the new one and let your insurance co know the change of reg.
